Located in one of Manzanita’s most beloved beach-close settings, 56 Idaho Ave offered the rare combination of vintage character, ocean views, and true walk-everywhere convenience. Just half a block from the beach and one block from downtown, this 1929 cottage placed buyers close to the sand, shops, restaurants, coffee, and the relaxed rhythm of village life.
The home featured 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and 1,104 square feet of living space on a 5,662-square-foot lot. Full of classic coastal charm, the cottage included original fir floors, wood floors, bamboo flooring, quartz finishes, laundry, washer/dryer, and a thoughtfully updated interior that balanced vintage appeal with modern comfort.
Ocean views from the living room and front yard added to the home’s appeal, while the fully fenced yard created a welcoming setting for a four-legged beach buddy. Outdoor living was made easy with generous decking, an outdoor shower, and ample parking for time spent at the coast.
The kitchen included a built-in range, free-standing refrigerator, gas appliances, microwave, quartz, solid surface countertops, and stainless steel appliances. A mini-split in the bedroom provided efficient heating and cooling, while additional wall heater and zoned heat added practical comfort.
The detached semi-finished garage had been converted into a fun surf shack-style bonus space, giving the property an extra layer of personality and flexibility. Fully furnished and sold turnkey, 56 Idaho Ave was ready for its next chapter as a classic Manzanita beach retreat.

For buyers looking for a property close to both the ocean and downtown, the location was exceptional. Morning walks to the beach, coffee in town, summer evenings on the deck, outdoor rinses after sandy afternoons, and cozy winter stays all felt built into the property’s design and setting.
With its vintage character, modern comforts, furnished presentation, video, Matterport walkthrough, and half-block beach proximity, 56 Idaho Ave offered the kind of Manzanita lifestyle that continues to resonate with buyers seeking charm, convenience, and a deeply coastal sense of place.
