Set in the heart of Wheeler, 168 Pine St offered a rare blend of history, character, and panoramic coastal views. Built in 1914, this charming Craftsman cottage looked out toward Nehalem Bay, the river, and the surrounding mountains, creating a memorable setting in one of the North Coast’s most distinctive small towns.
Updated in the early 2000s, the home retained much of its original century-old charm while incorporating modern comfort and functionality. Inside, high ceilings, coved arches, wainscoting, wood floors, and numerous windows brought warmth, light, and architectural character to the living spaces. Refinished fir floors added to the home’s sense of history, while the bright, airy layout made the cottage feel inviting and livable.
The kitchen featured open shelving, butcher block-style counters, a free-standing range, and refrigerator. The living areas offered flexible spaces for dining, relaxing, working, or simply taking in the view. A cozy loft area added additional usable space, while the second bedroom provided flexibility as a guest room, home office, or creative retreat.
With 2 bedrooms, 1 full bathroom, 1,159 square feet of living space, and an 8,712-square-foot lot, this home offered a comfortable cottage footprint with valuable outdoor and storage space. A 762-square-foot daylight basement provided room for tools, toys, gear, and projects, while the carport, driveway, and ample parking added practical convenience.
The in-town Wheeler location made the lifestyle especially appealing. From Pine St, local shops, restaurants, the city dock, kayaking, boating, fishing, and Nehalem Bay scenery were all close at hand. Manzanita and Rockaway Beach were also just a short drive away, offering easy access to more beaches, dining, and coastal recreation.
