738 north marion avenue

Built in 1912 and cherished ever since, this 4-bedroom Gearhart landmark sits on a large corner lot on one of the coast's most coveted streets. Over a century of stories lives in the millwork, the many French doors, and the light pouring through all-new double-pane windows. A river rock fireplace anchors the main level, with two additional gas fireplaces—one in the downstairs master suite and one in the upstairs front room. Beneath the historic character is a home that's been thoughtfully brought current: brand-new electrical and panel, a whole-house surge protector, tankless (on-demand) hot water, all-new kitchen appliances, TOTO toilets, new LeafFilter gutters, a new driveway, and reinforced, restored fencing throughout. Storage is everywhere you look—a deep hallway of it, double closets in the bedrooms, and a craft room fitted with storage lockers and abundant under-counter cabinetry. The flooring throughout is in excellent condition. A fully finished studio adds flexible space for guests, work, or making. Outside, the grounds steal the show: a fruit orchard, a flourishing vegetable garden, and flowers in bloom, taken in from new Trex decks and patio, the upper deck framed with glass-and-wood railings and second-floor ocean views. Historic soul, effortless living. Some homes are bought; this one is inherited by whoever loves it next—come see if that's you.
