About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to your dream retreat in Bethany West! The Sellers have taken care of it all with this recently renovated 4BR, 2BA "windjammer" style home. It has the ease of one level living with additional space for entertaining or just relaxing and all within a close proximity to the town! Some of the upgrades include but not limited to; total kitchen renovation, w/new fridge, stove/oven, recessed lighting, dishwasher, quartz countertop, microwave, and new cabinets. Both bathrooms renovated. New flooring throughout. New HVAC, new roof, new front porch overhang, additional shed, and all new sunroom renovation to include more cabinets, built in wine cooler and additional countertops. The upgrades go on but it is best to see it for yourself to appreciate all this lovely coastal home has to offer. A new screen porch is being added as of 3/2025. This is truly the definition of "turn key" or "move in ready". Nothing has been left undone and it is just in time for the 2025 Summer Season! The community offers 2 pools, tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts and a playground area for the youngest to enjoy. The town trolley will pick you up and take you into town for a evening out or just enjoy the locally owned shops and restaurants. Bethany Beach residents have access to parking passes for T of Bethany beach parking! This is it!!!
