Property Description
Just steps from the ocean, this classic coastal cottage presents a rare opportunity in Sussex Shores, one of the most sought-after communities along the Delaware coast. Positioned on a large 65 x 110 homesite, close to the communitys private, lifeguarded beach and an easy stroll to downtown Bethany, the property offers an exceptional combination of location, lot size, and possibility. Filled with charm and character, the home features original hardwood floors, wood-planked walls, and soaring wood ceilingsall finished in crisp white to create a bright and inviting coastal atmosphere. The great room features an open layout connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen, while a spacious sunroom just beyond the dining area provides an additional gathering space for family and friends. The home offers three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, along with a large loft that provides additional living space and flexibility for overflow guests. A one-car garage offers convenient storage for beach gear, bikes, and more, while two outdoor showers are perfect for sandy returns from days spent at the beach. Enjoy this charming cottage and its timeless character as it is, thoughtfully reimagine the existing home, or explore the opportunity to create a larger custom residence befitting this exceptional homesite. With its generous lot dimensions, close proximity to the ocean, and coveted Sussex Shores address, the property offers a remarkable canvas for the next generation of coastal living. Homes in Sussex Shores are rarely offered for sale, and it is easy to understand why. Tucked just north of downtown Bethany Beach, this highly desirable community is treasured for its private beach and exceptional location, offering the tranquility of a residential coastal enclave while keeping the shops, restaurants, and attractions of downtown Bethany just a short stroll away.
