Welcome to Mermaid Manor—A Rare Waterfront Opportunity Tucked along the tranquil canal with views of mature trees and the distant fairways of Kings Creek Golf Club, this charming .27-acre property offers a rare chance to create your dream waterfront retreat. Enjoy colorful sunsets from your backyard, relax in the peaceful outdoor spaces, or cruise home from a day on the Rehoboth Bay—all just moments away. Lovingly cared for by one family for many years, this classic ranch-style home is full of warmth and potential. While many buyers will see the value in the land alone, others may be inspired to reimagine the existing home into a cozy, updated haven or start fresh with a brand-new design tailored to their lifestyle. Whether you're dreaming of a serene getaway or envisioning a custom coastal masterpiece, Mermaid Manor is your canvas. The HVAC system is newer, and the property has been maintained with pride, but the seller understands that future owners may want to bring their own vision to life here. A special offering in one of Rehoboth's most desirable waterfront locations—come see the possibilities. All information provided is believed to be accurate but should be verified by the buyer.
