221 north main avenue

Coastal cottage charm with none of the coastal cottage projects. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home built in 2007 sits minutes from the beach in Warrenton, with board and batten siding, shingled gables, and a yellow front door that refuses to be boring. The main level is set up for actual daily life: a light-filled kitchen with white cabinetry, stainless appliances, gas range, pantry, and eating bar opening to the dining area, where a stacked stone gas fireplace does the ambiance work for you. Step from the dining room onto the back deck for summer barbecues, morning coffee, or supervising the fire pit in the big fenced yard, complete with play structure, playhouse, and storage sheds.Upstairs, the generous primary suite comes with a walk-in closet and its own private balcony. Attached garage plus extra parking. Full-time residence or coastal getaway, the location holds up either way: minutes to the beach, Fort Stevens State Park, shopping, dining, and everything else Warrenton and the North Coast do well.
