About This Home

As of February 2025

This hidden gem in the desirable Kelley Estates neighborhood is brimming with potential, ready for your creative vision to transform it into the perfect beach retreat or year-round family home. Located just minutes from the pristine Bethany Beaches, boardwalk, restaurants, shops, and premier golf courses, it offers a coveted blend of tranquility and convenience—less than 3 miles from downtown Bethany.
As you step inside, warm hardwood floors welcome you into a spacious living room filled with natural light. French doors lead to a formal dining room or flexible space ideal for a home office. The open, inviting kitchen features granite countertops, a wide stainless steel sink, and modern stainless steel appliances, including a gas-burner stove with an electric oven. With ample cabinets, expansive counter space, and room for multiple dining areas—including a cozy breakfast nook by the large windows overlooking the backyard—this kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining. A breakfast bar provides additional seating, a door opens to a spacious deck overlooking a private backyard that backs to peaceful, undeveloped open space. The outdoor area includes playground equipment and two storage sheds, perfect for recreation and extra storage.
A generously sized main-floor laundry room and a convenient powder room complete the first level. Upstairs, gleaming hardwood floors extend into a bright, spacious primary bedroom with abundant windows, creating a peaceful retreat. Two additional well-proportioned bedrooms and a shared hall bath offer plenty of comfort and flexibility for family or guests. With a little TLC, this property is poised to become a true showpiece. Recent updates include fresh interior painting and a brand-new roof installed in August 2024, complete with a one-year warranty. The home also features two heat pumps—one just 2 years old and the other 5 years old—offering efficient climate control and added peace of mind.
Kelley Estates boasts fantastic amenities, including a private boat ramp providing access to White’s Creek—ideal for boating and water sports enthusiasts. Best of all, the community enjoys the added benefit of no HOA fees! The location also places you close to the Assawoman Wildlife Area, state parks, and the picturesque Assawoman and Indian River Bays for endless outdoor adventures.
Embrace the opportunity to create your dream home in this sought-after coastal community—schedule your showing today!
