About This Home

As of October 2024

Nestled among the trees in Topsail Village within The Salt Pond, this rarely available detached single-family home presents a stunning opportunity to embrace coastal living just minutes from the sandy shores of Bethany Beach. Boasting 4/5 beds and 3 1/2 baths, this home offers a peaceful setting with a pond view, creating an ideal full-time residence, beach getaway, or rental property.

The entry level welcomes you with the first of two ensuite bedrooms, two additional bedrooms with private decks, a full hall bath, a laundry closet, a locking owner's closet, and an oversized one-car garage - perfectly designed to accommodate all your beach essentials. Notably, for those with mobility challenges, the home is equipped with a state-of-the-art chair lift that conveys, providing ease of access to all levels of the home. Additionally, the chair lift can be removed and stored should it be needed in the future, offering flexibility to meet the needs of the homeowner.

As you ascend to the main level, double-height windows reveal breathtaking wooded and pond views, setting the stage for the spacious living room with high ceilings, a gas fireplace, and access to an open deck and an expansive screened porch with stunning pond views. The main level also features a dining room and kitchen with ample counter space, a pantry, storage closet, and a breakfast bar, providing the perfect setting for gathering with friends and family after a day at the beach. Additionally, the generously sized primary suite offers a large bath with a separate jetted garden tub, a powder room, and an additional owner's closet. The upper level boasts an enormous bonus room, offering flexibility for overflow sleeping or additional living space, making this home well-suited for hosting guests.

Beyond the home, the Salt Pond Community offers an array of amenities, including an executive 18-hole golf course, a recreational center, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a children's play area, kayaking, and more. With its proximity to the beach, restaurants, canal trail, and town park in Ocean View, Salt Pond presents an idyllic coastal lifestyle for full-time residents and seasonal homeowners alike.

Positioned midway between the resort communities of Rehoboth Beach, Delaware, and Ocean City, Maryland, Salt Pond offers easy access to the best of Delaware beach living. Whether you're seeking a full-time residence, a beach retreat, or a rental property, this home offers a tranquil setting and seamless access to all that Bethany has to offer.
