About This Home

As of September 2020

This STUNNING water front home commands panoramic bay views from its privileged position on the canal in the Cove, a gated community located in Bethany Beach, Delaware. A bright and beautiful open-concept design with skylights, multiple balconies, two screened porches, and two decks provide inspiring views and endless entertaining venues. Enjoy recent low-maintenance upgrades made in 2017 that include a new roof, Hardi-plank siding, composite decking, clear-view rails, as well as new heat and air conditioning. Inside, upgraded sliders, new carpet and luxury wood-look tile floors provide a fresh and relaxed design expression to compliment the fully furnished interiors that convey. Unwind and decompress on the waterside swing and hammock, or gather for activities at the community pool, tennis courts or marina and boat launch. Return and prep your favorite dish in the wrap-around kitchen, while friends and family gather close by on the central island bar and generous table space adjacent to the family room, fireplace, deck and screened porch. Come home to Coastal style with plenty of room for friends and family to enjoy, and revenue-producing potential all at once!
