About This Home
Nestled just a short stroll from the tranquil Delaware Bay, this charming three bedroom, one bath cottage radiates warmth and character. The exterior features classic sand colored vinyl siding giving you soft coastal hues, complemented by a well-kept yard perfect for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings by the fire pit. An inviting outdoor shower adds a touch of beachy convenience and a large shed for your beach toys make this yard ideal after a day on the sand. Inside, the updated kitchen blends modern comfort with vintage soul: granite countertops and white appliances meet retro touches and bursts of color inspired by Grateful Dead vibes. Think tie-dye curtains, vibrant wall art, and cozy, eclectic furnishings. Natural light filters through each room, highlighting the mix of bohemian textures and laidback coastal charm. The living space feels like a jam session for the senses: peaceful, creative, and full of life. Whether you’re sipping coffee on the porch, cooking with friends, or spinning vinyl in the living room, this cottage perfectly captures the spirit of seaside serenity and free-spirited design. Three bedrooms run along the Bay side of the home. The current owner has set the front bedroom as her personal closet and loves all the space it frees up in the other rooms. Central air and natural gas make this home a great retreat for a busy family, couple, or single person looking for easy living with low maintenance. Come and catch the vibe!
