On a quiet corner at W Sixth and Laurel, known locally as the cottage keeper's house, this enchanting 1925 cottage awaits its next keeper. Around the corner and over the hill lie Chapman and "secret" Crescent Beach, in the highly sought-after north end of Cannon Beach.Beyond the garden gate, perennial flowers and culinary herbs grow in a landscape generous enough for gathering, but not so demanding that weekends disappear into yardwork. A raised front porch with a built-in bench is the perfect place to begin and end the day—and elk sightings are common, as if they too know that one of Cannon Beach's most beautiful walks begins just steps from the door.Inside, everything feels thoughtfully considered: right-sized, beautifully updated and respectful of the cottage's original character. Built-ins, tucked-away nooks and warm architectural details lend a sense of history without sacrificing comfort. The main level offers a spacious primary suite with a soaring vaulted ceiling and en suite bath, a mezzanine lounge or office, an additional full bath, laundry, and a storybook sleeping nook worthy of Beatrix Potter, alongside an inviting living room and chef's kitchen. Wood floors, a Jøtul gas fireplace and a sunny built-in dining nook flow into an open-air outdoor living room, offering rare privacy for a coastal lot.Upstairs, a generous third bedroom with an attached half bath feels like a private hideaway, lit by two skylights and updated windows.Outside, mature fig, apple, pear and plum trees frame the garden, joined by a cedar-walled outdoor shower, private deck and charming potting shed.From morning walks beneath the forest canopy to evenings listening to the ocean from the porch, this is a rare chance to live beside Ecola State Park—and become the next keeper of one of Cannon Beach's most treasured, quietly magical cottages.
