241 SW 12th St, Newport, OR 97365

Perched above the Scenic Yaquina Bay, this home offers panoramic views of Newport Bayfront, the Yaquina Bay Bridge, the marina, the Yaquina River, and the ocean, toward the surrounding hills. The elevated setting sits above the flood and tsunami zones and enjoys a warmer, sunnier microclimate than areas closer to the ocean, since the fog line typically settles in the canyon just west of the property. Inside, solid oak floors and a historic fireplace anchor the living space, while a chef's kitchen with a gas range invites everyday cooking and entertaining alike. Well maintained and artistically crafted over the years, the home features Craftsman-style updates, including a new roof in 2026, that have preserved the character of the original home while adding an artistic, elegant touch throughout. Every window frames a view of the bay and surrounding landscape. Outside, brick-lined paths wind through a terraced, landscaped yard, with stones set with intention and native and ornamental plants and shrubs chosen to highlight the scenery. A large mahogany deck with a hot tub provides a warm, protected place to sit and enjoy the stunning views. A large, flat grassy lawn offers space for entertaining and gatherings, including a front-row seat for fireworks over the bay. Tucked on a quiet street you would not stumble onto by accident, this location is just minutes from downtown Newport, close to several restaurants and the Bayfront, and about a half mile from the beach. This is a rare opportunity to own a piece of local history in one of the area's most sought-after settings close to both the bay and the ocean.
