What a beautifully designed and carefully executed renovation, just a few steps from the beach entrance, offering those breathtaking sunsets that have made the Delaware Bay front world-famous and you can hear the waves from the house. This beach cottage has undergone a complete renovation, carried out with proper permits and licensed contractors, right down to the framework. Originally a two-bedroom home before the renovation, it has now been transformed into a one-bedroom dwelling, with the possibility to convert it back to two bedrooms. The renovation work was done approximately four years ago, but you'd never guess it because the home is in pristine, like-new condition. To name a few: the kitchen features high-quality stainless steel Kitchen Aid appliances, soft-close white cabinets, a double sink, a tankless gas hot water heater, and hardwood floors in the living areas, with wall-to-wall carpeting in the bedroom and a charming basket-weave marble floor in the bathroom. There's a spacious walk-in closet with built-in shelving. The family room is a bright and airy space with a cathedral ceiling, a gas fireplace, and additional closet storage. The utility closet is convenient, and all doors throughout the house, including specially designed pocket doors and entrance doors, are new. The house also boasts all-new Andersen windows. Out back, you'll find a wonderful fenced-in private yard, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee or having a peaceful dinner, and its virtually maintenance-free. The property includes a detached two-car garage measuring 24 x 24, complete with electricity and a new garage door. This oversized garage is a dream come true with 8-foot doors and 10-foot ceilings. The parking is amazing, and the sellers even fit a large travel motor coach. The home is equipped with a newer gas heater and central air conditioner. The seller is planning to replace the living room and bedroom chandeliers, the dining room fixture, and the light over the sink. These pieces hold sentimental value and will be replaced with something equally fitting the home's charm and character. Notably, the flood elevation is in Zone "B," and the mortgage company does not require flood insurance. We do need some notice as the home is owner occupied and a year-round residence.
