This level also includes two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and extra-wide sliding glass doors that open to a covered porch with a relaxing swing chair. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day at the beach quick and easy. A striking spiral staircase, along with a traditional side staircase, leads to the home's main living level. Featuring mostly luxury vinyl plank flooring with ceramic tile in the kitchen, this bright and inviting space offers an open-concept layout that seamlessly connects the living room, dining area, and kitchen. The living room is anchored by a charming brick fireplace backdrop and a door leading to the balcony providing a comfortable gathering space for family and friends. The kitchen is equipped with everything needed for preparing meals, including a dishwasher for easy cleanup. There is an adjoining A set of atrium doors lead to the expansive wraparound balcony, where you'll enjoy outdoor dining, a gas grill, comfortable lounge seating, and glimpses of the water across the street. The upper level also features the primary bedroom with a Jack-and-Jill bathroom offering a large garden tub and an updated vanity. The conveniently located washer and dryer are also found on this level, along with an additional bedroom. The location is ideal for enjoying everything Fenwick Island has to offer. The beach is just a short distance away, and the historic Fenwick Island Lighthouse, marking the Mason-Dixon Line, offers daily tours nearby. Nearby you'll also find a bike shop and repair shop, while nearby attractions include the Fenwick Island Waterslide, go-karts, arcades, boat rentals, and the Freeman Arts Pavilion on Route 54, where you can enjoy live music throughout the season. Whether you're searching for a personal beach getaway, an investment property, or both, this well-located home offers spacious living, flexible accommodations, and the best of coastal living.
