The property is located in a quiet area, just 0.2 miles from James Farm Nature Center and 4.2 miles from the Bethany Beach Boardwalk! It is nestled in a small enclave of waterfront homes, with no HOA fees. The home was stick-built in 1985 and offers three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, a dining area, kitchen, laundry area, two living rooms, a front porch, a rear deck, and an attached two-car garage.

Move in ready to relax and enjoy the area. Some of the wildlife you'll see almost on a daily basis are the Great Blue Heron, green heron, kingfisher, seagulls, rabbits, foxes, terrapin turtles, fiddler crabs, blue crabs, and the occasional otter. They live here too! Do not feed the wildlife.
