About This Home

As of April 2025

Beautiful Oceanblock townhome with stunning ocean views and just steps to a wide pristine beach in North Bethany. This 5 bedroom coastal retreat is full of character and charm with wood planked walls painted a crisp white and soaring wood ceilings with exposed beams. Enter the home into an inviting foyer and continue to a full bathroom and large bedroom that easily doubles as an additional family room with a wet bar and sliding glass doors that open to an outdoor patio and grill area. The next level offers a fully equipped kitchen that is open to a combined living and dining room with soaring ceilings and glass sliding doors leading to another covered porch, perfect for watching the waves crash on shore as you enjoy a meal with family and friends. An en-suite bedroom is also on this floor with a private balcony overlooking the community tennis courts. Upstairs, there is a 3rd full bathroom and 2 more bedrooms with a wall divider allowing you to keep this area open for one over-sized bedroom or to separate the space into 2 rooms. Just a half flight of steps to the top floor with the most grand bedroom offering vaulted ceilings and endless views of the ocean and state park. Watch the morning sunrise over the ocean from your private deck and in the evening, take in the spectacular lights of the Indian River Inlet Bridge. Situated just steps to the dune crossover and backing to the protected State Park lands in the community of Tower Shores, the Atlantic Watergate residents have access to the tennis courts and play ground. This home is conveniently located just South of the Indian River Inlet which offers great restaurants, surf fishing, marina, and boating!
