Perched just one row back from the oceanfront, this reimagined Seaside home offers a front-row seat to the Pacific with dramatic whitewater views right across the street. Designed to maximize its unique vantage point, the home features a rare dual-deck layout that allows you to capture sunrise over the eastern mountains and toast the sunset as waves crash on the beach. Inside, the open-concept living, dining, and kitchen spaces are bathed in natural light and anchored by a cozy wood stove perfect for cool coastal evenings. The multi-level footprint has been thoughtfully upgraded with brand-new windows, overhauled exterior stairs, and reinforced decking, while a new fifth bedroom and custom built-in bunks effortlessly maximize guest capacity. With an independent exterior entrance, multiple bedrooms, and a full bathroom on each level, the layout offers incredible flexibility to function seamlessly as two separate living spaces, a multi-generational retreat, or a high-yield rental. Tucked away on the highly desirable, quieter northern end of the beach, the property provides a peaceful escape complete with an expansive parking footprint and a secure garage optimized for boats, boards, and beach toys. This immaculate coastal asset represents a rare opportunity to capture a fully realized beach lifestyle. With the seller highly motivated and turn-key furnishing options available to make this home immediately rental or move-in ready, now is the time to secure your premier piece of the Oregon Coast.
