About This Home

As of March 2023

Stunning Oceanside home just steps to the shoreline in a prestigious North Bethany gated community with a lifeguarded private beach. This meticulously maintained coastal style home has been beautifully updated with fine finishes and features throughout. The impressive great room’s soaring ceilings with wood detailing create a bright and open space that opens to a delightful screened porch and spacious deck. The crisp white kitchen has upgraded cabinetry and countertops, tiled backsplash, beverage fridge, and large breakfast bar with beautiful subway tile. Just off the great room is a primary bedroom with an en-suite bathroom and a guest bedroom with another full bath in the hallway. The top floor offers an additional family room with space for an office, game room or overflow sleeping and two decks for catching the sunrise and sunset. Downstairs, you will find 2 additional ensuite bedrooms, one with a jetted tub and separate shower, plus 2 guest bedrooms with a shared bathroom. Offered with designer furnishings, this home is ready to be enjoyed or could be an excellent rental investment property. Retreat is highly sought after for its wide pristine beach and close proximity to downtown Bethany’s shops and restaurants.
