Property Description
Welcome to Your Own Paradise! With just about 2,000’ to the beautifully wide and sandy beaches of South Bethany and sitting directly upon a canal with easy access to the Bay, this home offers truly the best of both worlds...The hardest decision you may have to make will be whether you spend your day paddling or boating out back or take your chair and a book to the beach...OR do both!! This stunning home offers 2 floors of coastal cottage canal front living and a lifestyle that you truly deserve! While the home was built in 1990, it was recently updated extensively inclusive of a whole new modern kitchen with a beautiful island in the center, lots of new windows, contemporary tones on the walls and refinished solid hardwood floors along with beautiful stone counters, decorative backsplash and modern stainless steel appliances. The vibe is casually and comfortable contemporary cottage...Beautifully maintained and in pristine condition, the tasteful and luxurious appointments and finishes provide a comfortable yet sophisticated retreat within which to relax, recharge, and create great new memories with your friends and loved ones. Designed with views in mind, the open living spaces and the new gourmet kitchen are all on the top floor and separated only truly by a couple walls primary constructed of glass, allowing for the twinkle of the sun hitting the water to shine right into your home. This top floor offers an expansive great room feel augmented by high ceilings and expansive glass and sliders to welcome the outside in. Additionally, this floor offers a private office with lots of light, a gorgeous sunroom with 180 degrees views of the water, and two of the three bedrooms in the home. The spacious primary bedroom has an ensuite bathroom and two separate closets while the expansive second bedroom has its own private access to a full bath. The entry level of the home features another large bedroom with private access to a full bath and just across the hall from the bonus living room that looks across the backyard and out to the water. Both living rooms offer sleeper sofas so if the guests are plentiful so can be the beds... The backyard is an oasis onto itself...a broad porch overlooks the yard and the canal beyond and is a great spot for some chairs and a fire pit to relax and unwind into the evening. Full bulkheading and a raised dock are both complemented by your very own (well, shared with the neighbor to the East..) boat dock for easy in and out for boats of all kinds Lots of storage in this home...and that garage? Deep and full of possibilities – boat storage, car storage, or just storage for the water toys and kayaks and all that comes with. Welcome Home!Property Details
