Craftsman Home on 0.32-Acre Lot — 3 Blocks to the Beach
A rare combination of modern comfort and coastal character — this single-level craftsman, built in 2010, sits on a generous 13,939 SF lot just three blocks from Rockaway Beach. Enter through a welcoming long porch into a warm main living area with real hardwood floors and a centerpiece wood-stove. The floorplan is efficiently laid out: a roomy primary bedroom with a large walk-in closet, two additional bedrooms finished with newer vinyl plank flooring, and two full baths. The kitchen comes fully equipped and ready to serve family dinners after a day on the sand.
Outside, the cedar siding and classic porch give the home timeless curb appeal. The property’s deep lot provides privacy, a backyard that reads like a small wildlife sanctuary, and room for gardening, outdoor living, or a play area. An extended one-car garage offers storage for beach gear and keeps surfboards and bicycles close at hand; driveway parking adds capacity for guests. Practical systems include electric baseboard heat and a supplemental wood-stove; the home is connected to city sewer for convenience.
Location is the standout: you’re within an easy walk of the shoreline and a short drive to Rockaway Beach’s restaurants, bait and tackle shops, and coastal trails. Whether you’re seeking a full-time coastal residence, a retirement home with single-level living, or a vacation property with rental upside (verify local STR rules), this property delivers lifestyle and value. Pride of ownership shows — bring your vision for minor upgrades to capitalize on the lot and market appetite for walk-to-beach homes.

Cedar Creek is a residential neighborhood in Rockaway Beach characterized by modestly sized single-family homes, mature landscaping, and easy access to the shoreline. Streets are quiet and the community feels small-town coastal — weekend visitors increase seasonally, but the area retains a relaxed, residential rhythm year-round.
Excellent coastal recreation: public beaches, tidal flats, fishing and crabbing access, and nearby trails for hiking and birdwatching.
A factual market snapshot around 1251 Timberlake Dr.
Rockaway Beach sits at the quieter end of Oregon Coast markets: inventory is usually low and demand is seasonal, peaking in spring and summer. Median single-family prices for the immediate area tend to run moderately above inland county averages when a property is within walking distance to the ocean. Recent market signals suggest modest year-over-year appreciation (low single digits) but stronger five-year gains as buyers seek experience-driven properties (beach access, larger lots). For buyers, this is a seller-favored micro-market for well-located homes; for investors, short-term rental demand is strong in summer but requires local licensing. Pricing at $635,000 is consistent with the premium for lots this size and location — expect competitive interest from owner-occupiers and second-home buyers.
Primarily single-family residential. Typical coastal city zoning allowing detached single-family dwellings; restrictions on lot coverage and setbacks per city code.
