There are still places along the Northern California coast that feel wonderfully unchanged, and Westport is one of them. Established in the 1870s, this historic coastal village has endured as a close-knit hamlet framed by forested hills and the wild Pacific. Set within this special stretch of the Mendocino Coast, this longtime family getaway has been cherished by the same family for more than four decades. Built in 1980, the 1,200+/- sq. ft. home offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a location where the ocean is truly part of everyday life. Full Pacific views fill the living room, kitchen, and dining area before extending outdoors to the beautiful newer wood deck. Across the street, beach access means an evening stroll to the water takes little more than a minute, or simply stay home and watch the sunset from nearly every west-facing room. Inside, a wood-burning fireplace anchors the living room, while central heat provides year-round comfort. One guest bedroom opens to its own private deck, and a generous wraparound yard offers room to enjoy the outdoors against a backdrop of Westport and the surrounding forested hills. Public water and sewer, an excellent roof, and a large two-car garage add ease and practicality. Lovingly maintained through the decades, the home offers an exciting canvas for its next owner. Keep its nostalgic coastal character and make thoughtful updates over time, or reimagine the interiors to more fully embrace the extraordinary setting--opening the western side toward the Pacific, selecting new flooring and finishes, or creating bathrooms and living spaces entirely your own. Eligible for short-term vacation rental use, this is an opportunity with flexibility: a full-time coastal home, weekend escape, or income-producing getaway. Homes can be renovated and finishes can be changed, but location cannot be recreated. Here, you have the Pacific across the street, beach access steps away, a historic village around you, and the forested Mendocino hills at your back. This is Westport, and an opportunity to own a piece of a California coastline that still feels like California once did.
