About This Home

As of December 2022

A beautifully renovated end-unit condo in the Plantations Community equipped with a private elevator and garage. Fatastic views of the community open space and tree-line from the back of the house and sunroom. This community allows short-term rentals and this would make a great place to earn investment income. Many high-end finishes and upgrades to this 3 bedroom, 2-bath second-floor condo with the classic wrap-around sunroom. Granite counters in kitchen and baths, tankless water heater, newer HVAC (2016), new roof, hardwood floors, freshly painted, Hunter Douglas blinds, walk-in soaking tub, and many more features! The elevator was serviced in July 2022
This condo is tucked back against a lovely wooded backdrop. The vaulted ceilings and open floorplan make this condo feel very spacious and bright. Enter from the ground level with a private elevator and stairs to the main living areas. The dining room is open with room for a large table and the kitchen is fully equipped with newer cabinets and a breakfast bar with granite counters. The living area is cozy and you can easily keep the doors open to the sunroom to extend this space or create an office area, fitness/yoga room, or any type of space to suit your needs. The owner's bathroom has a nice tiled shower and the bedroom is large enough to comfortably fit a king-size bed and has a storage closet as well as a 2nd closet. You can access the sunroom off the owner's suite as well. The two guest bedrooms are on the opposite side of the condo for privacy and are a good size. The owners are adding a new tub/shower surround to the guest bathroom.The front guest bedroom has direct access to the bathroom for an en-suite feel if needed. One of the most beautifully landscaped and popular communities at the beach! The Plantations is a scenic and walkable neighborhood with ponds, lush landscaping, and wildlife. The signature wrap-around sunroom offers a peaceful retreat for relaxing while offering tree-lined views.
You will absolutely enjoy this condo for year-round or vacation use. Owning here is nearly maintenance-free! The optional pool, fitness, and tennis membership is also ideal if you find yourself not needing these amenities full-time. This community is centrally located between both Cape Henlopen State Park and Rehoboth Beach. Easily access shopping, restaurants, the movie theater, the water park, and other amenities without fighting the traffic in the summer.
