About This Home

As of March 2025

This one checks all the boxes whether you are looking for a manageable second home at the beach or a low maintenance year round retirement property! Located in the quaint, convenient, coastal community of Silver Woods just minutes from Bethany Beach, it has just the right amount of amenities with an affordable HOA fee that won't break the bank but provides plenty of bang for the buck!

This is one level living at its finest. This Bramante model features an open floor plan with 3 Bedrooms and 2 Full Baths with the option to use the 3rd Bedroom as a "Flex Room" providing ideal space for a home office, den or music room. The kitchen has a large island , plenty of counter space, stainless steel appliances, gas range/oven, quartz countertops, pantry , and a large table space dining area.

The spacious Primary Bedroom Suite is privately located in the rear of the house and features a bath that includes double vanities, a glass shower and walk-in closet. There is also a separate laundry room conveniently located just steps away. The large, light filled, living area opens onto a screened porch with an epoxy floor coating that gives it a touch of elegance. From there you can enter the fully fenced yard with a huge paver patio - perfect for outdoor entertaining and pets!

There is a 2 car garage with built-in shelving, a trash can enclosure, irrigation system and front porch looking out onto the wooded common area featuring a pond and walking trails. The community of Silver Woods offers lawn care, a pool, fitness center & clubhouse, and is located across the street from the Bear Trap Dunes Golf Club. It's proximity to Bethany Beach and Fenwick Island make it the ideal beach getaway, and its convenient location near the shops and restaurants of Ocean View make it the perfect place to retire.

The perfect "Goldilocks" house - it's not too big, it's not too small. It's perfect for living the coastal life whether seasonal or year round!
