About This Home

As of September 2022

Enjoy this original beach home that has been well cared for and not rented for 30 years. Located in the beautiful and gated community of Ocean Village in North Bethany Beach. This community offers a wide beach area that is guarded and close to downtown Bethany for shopping and dining. Many beachgoers walk right into town!
Originally built in the 1960s the current owners have maintained the cottage charm of this home with open, beamed ceilings, wood-paneled walls, and a light-filled living space with large windows. Most recent improvements include a new roof (6-8 years), a new dryer (2021), a new dishwasher (2020), and 3 ductless HVAC units (2022). You can't miss the gleaming hardwood floors throughout the whole house. Offering 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms on the main level and an open kitchen/living room concept on the 2nd floor. Enjoy sitting on the front, screened-in porch where you will have a small ocean view during most of the year. There is also a large rear deck that could easily be converted to additional living space. There is also plenty of space under the home to hang out as well and play on the included ping pong table!
Positioned just steps to the ocean on a culdesac, Kittiwake Drive is the end street and this home is tucked back with some nice shade trees. Located just 4 houses to the private beach access via a boardwalk and you can enjoy the beach and all that Bethany has to offer!
This lovingly cared-for home is offered turn-key/ furnished and would make a great rental property as well.
