About this property

Welcome to Your Own Slice of Paradise in South Bethany! Just 2,000 feet from the wide, sandy guarded beaches of South Bethany and situated directly on a peaceful canal with easy access to the Bay, this stunning coastal cottage offers the best of both worlds. Whether you spend the day paddling from your backyard, cruising the waterways by boat, or taking your chair and a good book to the beach, this home makes it easy to do it all — and then some. Originally built in 1990, this charming residence has been extensively updated to offer the modern comforts and stylish finishes valued today, all while preserving the relaxed feel of your beachside retreat. The kitchen is a showstopper, with a large center island, beautiful stone countertops, decorative tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. Refinished solid hardwood floors add warmth throughout the main living areas, and fresh contemporary tones on the walls create a calming, cohesive atmosphere. Large windows, sliders, and thoughtful design details allow natural light to pour in & fill this southern facing home. The upper level has been designed with water views in mind, featuring expansive living spaces with high ceilings and walls of glass that invite the outside in. The open-concept great room flows effortlessly into the newly updated kitchen and dining area, creating a bright and welcoming space for everyday living and entertaining. Just off the main living area, a cozy sunroom with 180-degree views of the canal offers the perfect spot for morning coffee or a quiet afternoon read, while a private home office provides a light-filled workspace for those working remotely. Also on this level, you’ll find two of the home’s three spacious bedrooms. The primary suite offers an ensuite bath and dual closets, while the second bedroom enjoys private access to a full hall bath. Downstairs, the entry level features a third bedroom with private access to another full bathroom, as well as a bonus living room that opens to the backyard and water views. Both living rooms include sleeper sofas, giving you flexibility for hosting extra guests without sacrificing comfort or space. Step outside, and you’ll find a backyard that feels like a private waterfront retreat. A covered porch overlooks the canal, offering the perfect backup for early morning coffee or a post float beverages or fireside evenings. The property includes full bulkheading, a raised dock, and a shared boat ramp (with the neighboring property to the east), making it easy to drop & hop in your boat or kayak and be on the water within minutes. The icing on this beautiful cake is the roof top deck...panoramic vistas over all of South Bethany...watch the comings and goings on the canal from atop your own crow’s nest or some tasty, cold cocktails to celebrate the sun setting and the close of another full day of relaxation and fun! Settle back into the fabulously comfortable café style Adirondacks and enjoy some snacks while swapping tales of adventure and sharing great memories with those who are close to you. Storage is plentiful, with ample closets throughout the home and a deep garage that provides room for vehicles, boats, kayaks, beach gear, and more. Whether you're looking for a weekend getaway or a full-time residence, this home offers a rare opportunity to enjoy the South Bethany lifestyle — with the beach and the bay both just steps away. If you've been dreaming of a coastal escape where you can relax, recharge, and make unforgettable memories, your new home awaits. Welcome home.
