Attention Boating Enthusiasts! If you've been searching for a waterfront home that offers easy access to the bay and is just minutes from the beach, your search may be over. Located in the popular waterfront community of Cape Windsor, this move-in-ready home is less than two miles from Fenwick Island and Ocean City beaches and just around the corner from local favorites like Harpoon Hanna's and Catch 54. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the home features a bright, open floor plan with three bedrooms, all with new carpeting. The kitchen offers stainless steel appliances, plenty of workspace, and a large island with seating for four or more. The sunroom has a wall of windows with beautiful canal views. Ceramic tile flooring and a wood-burning fireplace make it a comfortable place to enjoy every season. The primary suite includes an oversized walk-in closet and private bath with a stand-up shower. A convenient laundry room provides a stackable washer and dryer, utility sink, additional refrigerator, and storage closet. Upstairs, you'll find a spacious bonus room with a propane stove and half bath, offering endless possibilities for a recreation room, home office, guest space, or hobby room. There's also a large attic storage area with potential for future expansion. Step outside and embrace the waterfront lifestyle. Your private dock is equipped with a boat lift and jet ski lift (both conveyed as-is), allowing you to spend more time on the water. Cruise to Assawoman Bay, enjoy a day of fishing or boating, then return home to relax in your fenced backyard complete with an outdoor shower, storage shed, and detached one-car garage. The HVAC system was replaced and is ready for the summer. The community offers overflow parking for guests, if needed. A traffic light at the community entrance makes getting in and out of Cape Windsor easy, even during the height of the summer season. Cape Windsor residents enjoy outstanding amenities, including an outdoor pool, boat ramp and community beach on the bay. The HOA fee is just $2,000 annually and includes pool maintenance, water, trash service, and snow removal. Weekly rentals are not permitted, helping preserve the community's residential feel. Whether you're looking for a primary residence, a beach getaway, or a long-term investment, this waterfront property offers the best of coastal living. With the beach just minutes away and your boat in the backyard, every day feels like a vacation. Schedule your private tour today and start making memories on the water.
