200 FEET FROM BEACH, ON OLD BAY AVENUE. (# 125, at corner of Midland - a/k/a "202 Midland".) Water views - a rare opportunity. Because it is the ONLY such place on Bay Ave. now available. AND, the only one to hit the market in almost 2 years. The only other recent Bay Avenue listings are some older direct-waterfront places - at $1.7 million! (And fuhgeddaboud "Zestimates". Computers don't know from bay views, sea breezes, and sand between your toes!) So, start now to plan next Summer in YOUR OWN big blue beach house. *** Call 410 621 0003 for more information or appointment. Calls answered 9 AM-9 PM, 7 days a week. IF line is busy, try again after 10-20 minutes. Or, leave a message saying when you will be available for a return call. BROKERS ARE PROTECTED. See Sussex County MLS # 713907. *** This place is called 'Something Old, Something New', because it retains some elements of the original 'Gibble Cottage', circa 1928, with major re-building and additions in 2007-2008, creating almost a whole new house. Baths and kitchen are all tile-and-granite, with high-end fixtures. You can move right in after closing, because all furnishings, equipment (indoor and out), decor, kitchenware - even bedding, are available/included. Or you can start renting to others right off the bat. (House has proven rental history - which you would not know unless told, because of owner's scrupulous hands-on maintenance.) Various possibilities exist for further expansion (for instance, a 4th level 'sky deck', giving unimpeded 100% water view while remaining within City of Lewes building height limit.) ****** FURTHER DETAILS Inside and outside staircases. Attic pull-down stairs. Screened porch on main level. Enclosed outdoor hot/cold beach shower. Garage, laundry, storage closets, workshop area on ground-level of house are squeaky clean and bone dry.
