One property off the oceanfront, this beautiful coastal retreat is just steps from the private, lifeguarded beach and offers the perfect blend of beachside charm and modern comfort. Thoughtfully designed with an inverted floorplan to maximize natural light, coastal breezes and peaks of the ocean, the upper level features an inviting open-concept living area that seamlessly combines the living room, dining area, office nook, and gourmet kitchen. The beautifully appointed kitchen showcases custom cabinetry extending to the ceiling, granite countertops and backsplash, stainless steel appliances including a gas range, and a large center island with seating. Also on the upper level is the spacious primary suite with dual sinks, a walk-in shower, and private access to the screened porch, along with two additional guest bedrooms and another full bathroom. Wraparound decks extend along both sides of the home and connect to the screened porch at the rear, creating exceptional outdoor living space. The wraparound decks offer a glimpse of the ocean and the perfect setting to enjoy the sound of the surf. The lower level offers a second family room, two guest bedrooms, a third full bathroom, and a laundry room complete with a second refrigerator. Additional features include an attached garage with a third refrigerator, outdoor shower, and a spacious covered porch ideal for relaxing after a day at the beach. Completely renovated in 2008 and meticulously maintained since, this home is offered fully furnished and is ready for immediate enjoyment while also presenting an outstanding opportunity for a new build in the future on a generously sized lot. Ideally located in the sought-after private beach community of Middlesex Beach, you're just minutes from the boutiques, restaurants, and boardwalk of downtown Bethany Beach, as well as the conveniences of South Bethany. From quiet mornings on the screened porch to carefree days on the beach, this is coastal living at its finest.
