Property Description
Step right into a time machine with this delightful 100+ year-old bungalow, bursting with stories and flair! Tucked away just a hop, skip, and a jump from the gorgeous Broadkill Beach, this charming cottage is your ticket to owning a slice of local history. Originally built by the Hearn family in the late 1880s, this beauty had a makeover in the roaring '20s, using bits and bobs from the original home after a storm gave it a not-so-gentle nudge. Fast forward to the 1930s, and voilà—dormers popped up, giving birth to a cozy dorm-style bedroom upstairs! Downstairs, you’ll find a petite kitchen with built-in nooks, a half bath, and a living room that moonlights as extra sleeping quarters. The "Captain's Quarters," aka bedroom #1, opens up to a wraparound porch that’s just begging for you to sip lemonade while soaking up those salty breezes and stunning views. This prime spot not only lets you peek into the past but also invites you to create new memories. Whether you’re all about keeping the bungalow's vintage vibes or dreaming of a modern twist, this property is a rare find in a hot location. So, grab this chance to spin new tales and have a blast in this cherished beachside treasure! Don’t forget to check out the uploads for a trip down memory lane with photos of the Hearn home!Property Details
