Located in the beautiful community of Bethany Forest, this ranch-style home is an excellent value in today’s market. Starting out with a new septic system which will last until the public sewer arrives, a new well pump, expansion tank, and encapsulated crawl space. The roof and gutter guards were done within the last 2 years. The floorplan is pleasing and traditional with a cozy front porch, a perfect setting for you to meet and greet your neighbors as they are strolling through the community. Inside, you will find a spacious living room with vaulted ceilings, the primary bedroom and bathroom on one side of the house and 2 guest bedrooms and a full bath on the other side. The kitchen is a very efficient use of space, and the laundry room is located off the kitchen area. In the rear of the house, is a very large family room, perfect for watching your favorite TV shows in the evening. A slider that goes out to the rear deck is great for relaxing after dinner or watching the deer graze in the farmer’s field (99-year lease preservation program with 75 years remaining). Or chill out on a private screened porch with a good book. Bethany Forest is a special place to live where most of the trees remain, houses are far apart from each other, pool is never crowded, low HOA fees, tennis/pickleball courts for fun and entertainment and social events are well attended. Park your RV and/or boat in your driveway, no problem. State parks are nearby, Bethany Beach is about a 10-minute drive, and grocery shopping and awesome restaurants are convenient. Home needs some TLC, ready for your special touches.
