Compact, practical, and easy to enjoy, this property reflected the kind of small retreat that can make life near the North Oregon Coast feel refreshingly uncomplicated.

Built in 1994, the home featured 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, and 560 square feet of single-level living space on a 3,484-square-foot lot. The layout was modest and efficient, offering the essentials for a weekend retreat, second home, or peaceful full-time home base near the water.
