Live the best of both worlds—on the water and just moments from the beach. This luxury canal front home sits just over a mile from Bethany Beach and offers 4 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and 3,400 square feet situated in the serenity of a private marina community. Beyond its walls, the property opens to a private deck and dock — your gateway to sunset cruises, watersports of all kinds, fishing, crabbing, dock and dine restaurants, and quick ocean access. Few homes offer this level of proximity to the beach and a full bayside lifestyle. Inside, elevated finishes shape each space: a sleek updated kitchen, premium flooring, aesthetically coordinated stone, designer lighting, elegant window treatments, and an elevator. With a spacious waterfront deck, four balconies, a retractable awning, landscape lighting, and an outdoor shower, outdoor living just feels effortless. The home sits gracefully on open common space, enhancing privacy, natural light, and view corridors. Community features include a bayside pool, clubhouse, private boat launch, and a fishing and crabbing pier — all set within a peaceful waterfront environment. Perfectly positioned for convenience and recreation, the home is within walking distance of grocery, golf, restaurants, and scenic state park trails. Hop on a bike and you’re an easy ride away from the beach, the Bethany Tennis Club, and the stunning James Farm Ecological Preserve. By boat, enjoy immediate access to the beautiful Intracoastal Waterways of Delaware—unlocking endless destinations and a true coastal lifestyle. This is beach life—elevated.
