1396 PACIFIC AVE

Cannon Beach, OR 97110

A rare oceanfront offering in the heart of midtown Cannon Beach — a 1939 cedar-shingle cottage that has weathered the decades with grace, holding strong to its place above the tideline at the quiet end of Pacific Avenue. Homes like this don't come along often, and ones this well cared for almost never. The setting is part of the appeal. Pacific Avenue dead-ends here, so vehicle traffic is minimal and the foot traffic that does pass through belongs to neighbors and beachgoers rather than the bustle of downtown. It's the kind of street where you hear the surf before you hear anything else. From the windows, the view unfolds the way only the North Coast of Oregon can deliver it. Haystack Rock to the south, Chapman Point to the north, and Terrible Tilly standing watch offshore. Inside, warm wood and easy proportions speak to the home's pre-war origins. Four bedrooms and three baths are ready to host the entire family, friends, and the long weekends that turn into longer ones — a primary suite on the main floor and three bedrooms upstairs, with room to sleep up to ten. The oceanfront patio is made for catching late afternoon sunsets with the ones you love, and Haystack Rock and its tide pools are right there to explore whenever the mood strikes. To the east, though the street feels tucked away, the best of midtown is a single block off — Pelican Brewing for a pint after a beach walk, The Wayfarer for dinner with a view, Cleanline Surf for boards and wetsuits, and the local gym for the morning routine — all within an easy stroll. Some places you visit. This one, you keep.
