OCEAN FRONT PROPERTY COMING TO PUBLIC AUCTION
Note: Zillow requires a listing price - The price noted is neither the opening bid price nor the hammer price. So, please read on....
This is a very rare opportunity to experience all the sights, sounds and excitement of living at the beach in your very own ocean front retreat.
Fenwick Island is a bustling beach community offering everything one would expect to find in an East Coast seaside town. Yet, there are still a few quiet retreats left, if you know where to look. This is one of them! In addition to the sun, sand and ocean breezes that you will experience right at your door - you will find great restaurants, bars, biking, hiking, water sports, mini golf, shipwreck museum and so much more just a few blocks away!
If you want to explore the surrounding area it’s just a short drive to Ocean City or Salisbury, MD.
Bunting Avenue is one of the most iconic and most desired streets in Fenwick. This two-bedroom, one bath home is one of the few original homes left in the area. Built in traditional beach-home style, it sits atop pillars boasting proudly of its sun-kissed wood look. The wrap-around deck and outside shower are just begging you to let down your hair and enjoy beach life. The home sits between two public beach access points on a section of road less traveled. Lot is 50’ X 150’ with off street parking.
Whether you are looking to rebuild a luxurious resort home on site or desire the charm of an original Fenwick Island cottage, this property is perfect for you.
An on-site, live auction will be held at noon on Friday, July 28, 2023. Early registration and pre-auction bidding will begin July 1, 2023 and end July 21, 2023.
Early registration is encouraged to be sure your deposit is approved. Pre-bidding does not preclude you from bidding at the live auction but will insure your bid is received and recorded if you are unable to attend on auction day.
