About This Home
Welcome to this hidden gem in the sought-after “Forgotten Mile,” ideally situated between Rehoboth Beach and Dewey Beach and only a few blocks from downtown amenities and beach access. This beautiful single-family home offers an exceptional blend of comfort, convenience, and coastal charm—perfect as a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or high-potential beach rental. Enter onto the inviting covered front porch and into a spacious foyer that sets the tone for the warm, open layout. Continue toward the rear of the home to discover the expansive great room, where the living area, dining space, and gourmet kitchen flow seamlessly together. The kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large island with seating and a second sink, and plenty of workspace—ideal for entertaining after a day at the beach. Off the great room is a light-filled sunroom, opening to the rear patio and fenced-in backyard, perfect for outdoor dining, relaxing, and enjoying the coastal breeze. This level also includes a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, a large utility room with ample storage, and access to the one-car garage, which offers abundant space for bikes, surf boards, kayaks, and all your beach gear. An outdoor shower adds extra convenience after sandy excursions. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms, including two bedrooms with private ensuites. Both feature dual vanities and one boasts a separate water closet with a tub/shower combo. The remaining two well-sized bedrooms share a full hall bathroom, and a dedicated laundry room with a sink completes the upper level. This home has been thoughtfully updated with Google Nest products (doorbell camera, outdoor security cameras, thermostats, and keyless entry), new outdoor LED security and landscape lighting, new recessed LED lights throughout the interior, four wall-mounted Sony flat-screen TVs, fresh interior paint (2022), and two new HVAC systems installed in 2022. With its prime location near Silver Lake, generous living spaces, and modern upgrades—plus no land lease and no HOA fees—this property offers unbeatable value and tremendous year-round or rental potential. A rare find at the beach! Mortgage savings may be available for buyers of this listing.
