OPEN SATURDAY 9/19 from 10a - 1pm .. Do you dream of being close to the beach (just blocks!)? Want charm? Want rental possibilities? Then you need to see this property! With only 2 owners in its entire history, the main house oozes charm and easy beach living. Just imagine sitting on the front screened porch having a morning cup of coffee and thinking about strolling to the beach just a few blocks away. Details like true hardwood floors, doors and trim are original wood, arched doorways are still present. BR3 upstairs was expanded several years ago to include a sitting area & balcony & the added full bath that is shared. In the main house Kitchen there is a W/D hookup in the kitchen nook. The huge rear deck is shared between the house and cottage, can't you envision a BBQ for friends and family here? An outside shower keeps the sand outside! The cottage has a full eat-in kitchen, bedroom & living spaces, walk-in closet (that's an understatement!) & storage, and full bath. The cottage and house share the 'garage' space as storage and the washer dryer are located here. Have guests stay (or rent it out!) in the 1BR rear cottage .. you choose! The cottage was a long term rental for several years, so the USPS gave the cottage its own mailing address (38419 George St) but it is ALL ONE property. This is a phenomenal opportunity to be blocks to the beach, downtown Dewey and Rehoboth! Don't miss this one!
