Very rarely does a Manzanita home come along that checks so many boxes on the quintessential beach house wish list. 105 North Ave was one of those rare finds: a vintage 1940 cottage full of charm, thoughtfully updated for modern coastal living, and located just steps from the sand.
Listed by Meadow Davis and sold with buyer representation by Leisha Mizee-Riggert, both of Home + Sea Realty, this sale brought together local listing strategy and buyer guidance in one highly desirable Manzanita beach-close setting.
Built in 1940, the home featured 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and 1,591 square feet of living space on a 4,791-square-foot lot. The cottage blended nostalgia and comfort, with beamed high ceilings, abundant natural light, engineered hardwood, skylight, vaulted ceiling, furnished presentation, laundry, quartz finishes, wall-to-wall carpet, and a floor plan that felt both cozy and open.
The kitchen included a built-in range, built-in refrigerator, dishwasher, quartz finishes, and stainless steel appliances. A wood-burning fireplace added the genuine crackle and warmth of a classic beach cottage, while WiFi-controlled radiant in-floor heat, wall heaters, and zoned heating brought ease and comfort to the home’s vintage character.
The layout included an airy primary bedroom with ensuite bath, along with three additional bedrooms that offered flexibility for family, guests, work-from-home space, or favorite beachgoers. With its manageable footprint and thoughtful updates, 105 North Ave offered a rare combination of old-soul character and modern convenience.
The exterior added even more appeal. Beautifully maintained shiplap siding, a wraparound deck, covered deck space, open east-facing deck areas, and a tool shed helped extend daily life outdoors. Whether watching the rain from the covered portion of the deck, enjoying sun-drenched morning coffee, or gathering beneath the stars, the outdoor spaces were an important part of the home’s coastal rhythm.
The location was exceptional. From the front door, it took only a few strides to check the surf and just a few more to reach the beach. Downtown Manzanita was also close by, with the heart of town only about five blocks away through quiet neighborhood streets.
With beach proximity, vintage cottage character, a wraparound deck, modern systems, off-street parking, and a setting near both the ocean and town, 105 North Ave captured the kind of coastal lifestyle many buyers hope to find.

A Classic Manzanita Beach Cottage With Vintage Character and Modern Comfort
What made this property especially appealing was the way it combined true beach cottage charm with thoughtful updates and an extraordinary location. The original 1940 character gave the home warmth and personality, while the modern conveniences made it comfortable for today’s coastal living.
For buyers looking in Manzanita, the setting was hard to beat. Beach access was just steps away, downtown was close enough to reach on foot, and the home itself offered the kind of flexible layout that works beautifully for weekends, extended stays, hosting, and everyday life at the coast.
The wraparound deck, wood-burning fireplace, beamed high ceilings, natural light, updated kitchen, furnished presentation, and off-street parking all contributed to the home’s appeal. It was small enough to feel nostalgic and cozy, yet open and comfortable enough to welcome family, guests, and long beach days with ease.
The over-list closing also reflected the continued appeal of well-located, character-filled Manzanita homes that offer both beach proximity and everyday livability.
