About This Home

As of April 2026

Waterfront and Walk to the Beach! Your coastal retreat awaits in sought-after South Bethany. This beautifully maintained four-bedroom, three-full-bath home with garage and private boat dock is perfectly situated on a wide canal with expansive water views at the canal intersections, offering the best of beach and boating lifestyles. The first level features two bedrooms, a full bath, laundry room, and a spacious waterfront family room with dining area and convenient wet bar complete with refrigerator, dishwasher, and microwave. Step outside to the waterside paver patio, which leads directly to your private boat dock. The main living level offers an open-concept great room and gourmet kitchen with a spacious island, newly installed dry bar, dining area, and a main-level bedroom with full bath. The great room with fireplace opens to a screened porch and new coastal-style deck, perfectly positioned to take in the serene water views. The third level features the private primary suite with a beautifully tiled shower and soaking tub, plus a loft area overlooking the great room is ideal for a desk or home office. A private balcony completes the space, offering yet another spot to enjoy the peaceful canal views. Additional highlights include vaulted ceilings, hardwood floors, outdoor shower, fenced yard, covered patio, and garage. Being sold mostly furnished, this home is ready for immediate enjoyment as a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment property. After you stroll back from the beach, return home to your dock, take the boat out on the bay to waterfront restaurants, toss a line to fish, crab, or clam - or relax while watching the sunset over the water. Private showings only.
