About This Home
As of October 2024Waterfront Property! This beautiful cottage has been completely remodeled and ready to call home. Morning Fog is the name of this cottage after the beautiful view of the fog drifting off the marsh some mornings. It resembles a soft painting. The view of the marsh is on the west side of the cottage which has beautiful sunsets. When fireworks are going off for a holiday event you can see them from the porch and entrance deck on the west side. Morning Fog faces east at the Delaware Bay! The morning sunrises are fantastic. The open bedroom view offers the option of waking to the sunrise instead of an alarm clock. Morning coffee on the open 12 x 28 ft. trex deck is a million dollar view. Nothing but open sky and crab boats on the bay roll in and out as you sip your morning blend Location, location, location… sitting between the marsh and the Delaware bay has unrestricted views with tranquil living and only 15 minutes to Dover or 40 minutes to Lewes/Rehoboth. 4 season cottage itself is original with upgrades for comfort not losing the old time charm of a fishing bungalow. Morning Fog is a true beach cottage with vibrant colors reminiscent of Caribbean vacations. Bring your camera, paintbrush or pen to capture all the natural wildlife that shares this bay beach community. Whales, dolphins, turtles, cranes, migrant birds, eagles, horseshoe crabs, fox and rabbits etc. will fill your days with entertainment. This part of the Delaware bay is a spectacular place to live if you want a quiet, peaceful, safe retreat. Sale includes a non-buildable 48x100 lot across the street with shed, perfect for parking 4+ cars or boat storage. New Roof & Painted Exterior in January 2023. This home is in move in condition! Put this on your next tour!
