About This Home

As of August 2019

Partially furnished unique and beautiful home in gated community. One of the most UNIQUE and PRETTIEST homes you will find! Invest now in one of the most affordable water access neighborhoods near the beach. This appealing and well maintained home is nestled in the wooded retreat of Angola by the Bay. From the moment you walk through the door, you get that Wow factor you have been looking for. Striking cathedral ceiling lets the light pour in. On cooler nights, enjoy the unique gas fireplace that actually has a window in it! You must see it to appreciate it! Gourmet kitchen includes upgraded gas range, stainless steel appliances and solid surface countertops. Open floorplan allows everyone to enjoy the conversation and memories being made at the beach. First floor includes a large bedroom with access to the screened porch, full bathroom and laundry. Upstairs you will find a loft overlooking the great room, as well as the 2nd and 3rd bedrooms. The larger bedroom upstairs has two walk-in closets and French doors open to an elevated deck overlooking the common area behind the home. The 2nd full bathroom has a jetted corner tub for the ultimate in relaxation. Community boat ramp leads from Herring Creek to Rehoboth Bay. This waterfront community offers many wonderful amenities for low HOA fees of only $700/year and low property taxes. This home is close to the community center and pool, and is an easy drive in and out of the neighborhood for trips to nearby beaches, shopping, restaurants and more. You may enjoy the company of your neighbors at one of the many social events scheduled throughout the year. Gated community, marina, crabbing and fishing docks, canoe/kayak launch and storage, swimming pool, club house, pavilion, playground, walking trails, bocce ball, horseshoes, pickleball, shuffleboard, tennis, volleyball, and basketball courts. Yes, all that for only $700/year. Public water & sewer offers peace of mind, too. If you hate "cookie cutter", this home and this community is for you. Make this the year you buy your dream home near the beach. Remaining furniture will convey with the home!!
