Property Description
Just one home off the beach, enjoy panoramic views of the ocean from this spacious 6-bedroom home, ideally located in the heart of downtown Bethany Beach. Multiple decks and porches, including a rooftop deck, offer an abundance of outdoor living space to enjoy morning sunrises, sea breezes, and the sights and sounds of the ocean from multiple levels of the home. Upon arrival, take note of the exceptional amount of parking, both off Maplewood Avenue and the alleyway, plus the convenience of covered parking in the expansive garage. Step inside, where an elevator provides convenient access between all levels-an important feature as the main living level is on the top floor, where the most stunning ocean views are brought into the heart of the home. This floor features a spacious kitchen, dining area, and great room with vaulted ceilings and easy access to an oversized screened porch and grill deck. Also on this level is the convenience of a powder room and a primary ensuite bedroom with its own private screened porch. Perfectly suited for gathering with family and friends, just one floor below you will find 5 additional bedrooms, 3 full baths, a laundry room, and a second living room - all adding to the comfort and versatility of this multigenerational home. Offered fully furnished with new carpet and fresh paint, this home is ready for immediate enjoyment. The property does not currently have any future rentals to be honored, but has a strong rental history, providing an excellent opportunity as a personal retreat, an investment property, or a combination of both. Just steps from the sand and a short walk to downtown Bethany, enjoy easy access to the boardwalk, shops, restaurants, and everything this charming beach town has to offer. This is a rare opportunity to own a coastal home with this amount of space and such exceptional views in one of Bethany Beach's most desirable locations.
