What a delight! This beautifully maintained home is only 2.5 miles to Bethany Beach, and offers one-level living with 3 spacious bedrooms, an open floor plan with plenty of room for entertaining and wonderful features throughout! You are greeted by a covered wrap-around front porch, perfect for enjoying the fresh air with a friend. Inside opens to a large great room with vaulted ceilings, plantation shutters, lots of natural light, and a gas fireplace with custom mantle.

The Owner's Suite is located at the rear and features vaulted ceilings, an en suite bath with separate tub and shower, and two closets - one walk-in and one for linens. Back in the open great room, a granite breakfast bar leads you into the open kitchen with solid wood dovetail cabinetry, granite countertops and white appliances. A pantry closet and French door refrigerator are the perfect finishing touches. The eat-in breakfast nook is a great size and also leads to the rear screened porch or through the laundry/mud room and into the garage. The 1+ garage is finished/painted, has pull-down stairs that lead to attic storage space, and plenty of space for a workshop or bike/kayak storage. Perfect after a bike ride or day at the beach, you will find an outdoor shower with changing space just outside the mudroom door!
