Welcome to 309 W 2nd St in South Bethany, offering a fantastic open floor plan and your own private dock so you can jump on your boat or kayak whenever you want! This home features an inverted floor plan to capture all of the best water and sunset views from the large, open great room. The kitchen flows off the living space and features granite countertops, pantry storage with pull out drawers and a small deck for easy access to grilling. Enjoy beautiful views of Jefferson Creek from the kitchen and balcony while cooking! Once your meal is ready, step out onto the screened porch to enjoy your food without worrying about bugs. For added convenience, a dumbwaiter opens to all 3 floors to assist in getting groceries and other items from floor to floor.

Three guest bedrooms are located on this level, all offering water views! Downstairs in the entry way, you will find 2 closets for extra storage and access to the covered parking areas on each side of the home as well as the back deck. A locked storage room outside provides a great space to store bikes, beach chairs, or any other beach and water toys. The deck is a perfect place to soak up the sun, go fishing, or jump on your boat and be at one of many waterfront restaurants in Fenwick and OC in no time at all. Life on the water really is the best! Want to go to the beach? One of the perks of living in South Bethany are the uncrowded beaches - it is a nice change from the crowds in downtown Bethany!
