    What's special

    Two riverfront propertiesCoastal cottagesCharming two-story cottageCovered porchEnclosed porchSpacious front deck
    Two riverfront properties for the price of one! If these coastal cottages could talk, imagine the memories they would share. Picture yourself relaxing on the front deck, watching local fishermen bring in the catch of the day, charter boats gliding by filled with smiling faces, and enjoying warm-weather BBQs with friends and family while sipping a cool drink. Generationally owned and lovingly cherished, these properties are ready for their next chapter. Step back in time in the charming two-story cottage featuring an enclosed porch and a private dock for your boat. The single-level home offers a blank canvas, with some interior renovations already underway—complete with a spacious front deck, covered porch, and its own dock. Both properties include garages, providing ample storage for all your coastal gear. Perfectly situated along the scenic Murderkill River with views stretching to the Delaware Bay, you’ll enjoy endless opportunities for fishing, crabbing, birdwatching, sightseeing, and even hunting. Take a short paddle across the river to JP's Wharf or The Bayview Inn for great food, drinks, and live music. You’re also just a short drive from the beaches of Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, Dewey Beach, and Ocean City. Nearby Milford offers shopping, dining, pubs, and year-round community events, while the DE Turf Sports Complex is just minutes away. Exterior photos have been enhanced by Chatgpt to show a sunny day. Whether you’re looking for a personal waterfront retreat, a family compound, or an investment opportunity, this unique offering checks all the boxes. Properties are being sold as-is.
