About This Home

Nestled on a spacious .30-acre corner lot in the established community of The Reservation, this property offers exceptional potential for buyers looking to create their dream coastal retreat or expand their investment portfolio. With solid bones, generous living spaces, and a desirable location just minutes from Delaware's beaches, this home is ready for its next chapter. Inside, you'll find an inviting layout featuring a large living room with hardwood flooring and a charming brick fireplace, an expansive eat-in kitchen, and a screened porch that provides the perfect spot for relaxing or entertaining. The upper level offers comfortable bedroom accommodations with ample space and natural light. Outside, the oversized corner lot provides room to garden, play, or enhance the outdoor living experience. The screened porch, deck, mature surroundings, and established neighborhood setting add to the home's appeal. There are no HOA fees or restrictive covenants allowing the flexibility to keep a boat, trailer or other recreation equipment on the property. Ideally located next to the James Farm Ecological Preserve and Josiah Cove, nature lovers will appreciate the scenic surroundings and outdoor recreation opportunities right outside their door. Enjoy a short walk to Bethany Club Tennis, convenient access to the VFW, located approximately one mile away, and all the benefits of coastal living while being less than four miles from downtown Bethany Beach, its award-winning beaches, restaurants, shopping, and boardwalk attractions.
