About This Home

As of September 2025

Just three homes from the oceanfront, this coveted Sussex Shores retreat puts you steps from a private, life-guarded beach and a short stroll to the charm of downtown Bethany. Take the elevator to the light-filled top level, where a dramatic great room opens to a sunroom, spacious deck, and rooftop perch for sunrises over the ocean’s horizon and sunsets on the Salt Pond. The over-sized kitchen, with its grand island, stainless steel appliances, two dishwashers, beverage fridge, and tiled backsplash, is designed for gathering with friends and family after a day on the beach. A serene primary suite and private den that easily couples as addition sleeping space complete the main floor. The middle floor offers a second family room, four guest bedrooms, and front and rear porches. On the ground level, you’ll find two outdoor showers, ample storage, laundry, covered parking plus a long driveway for additional guests. Freshly painted and offered furnished, this coastal retreat is ready to enjoy. Rarely are homes available for sale in the community of Sussex Shores, one of the most desirable locations on the Delaware coast.
