    Beautifully updated coastal home located just 1 mile to the beach in the highly desirable community of Cat Hill in South Bethany. This charming home offers an impressive living room with vaulted ceilings and sky lights, new LVP flooring, and gorgeous built-in cabinetry surrounding an electric fireplace with stone surround and shiplap detailing on the wall above. The kitchen features granite countertops, crisp white cabinetry, new tiled backsplash, and stainless steel appliances. There is one bedroom off the main living area and a fully updated bathroom with tiled shower and glass door, updated cabinetry and countertops, and new flooring. Upstairs there are 2 more spacious bedrooms and another fully updated bathroom with subway tile surrounding the tub and shower, and updated cabinetry and countertops. A lovely screened porch and sun deck offer great outdoor living space as well as a large space under the home that is fully fenced for your 4-legged family members. The beach retreat is tucked deeper into the pine trees than surrounding homes allowing for a more private feel and the bonus of extra parking spaces. Conveniently located just a short distance to the quaint shops and attractions of downtown Bethany, just a short walk to the beautiful life-guarded beach in South Bethany and just steps from the community kayak and paddle board launch on the Assawoman Canal.
