Property Description
Welcome to 45 W Dagsboro Street-an exceptional waterfront opportunity in the heart of Fenwick Island, offered for the first time in over 40 years. This is more than a home-it's a true family heirloom, now ready for its next chapter. Perfectly positioned on a sprawling corner lot, this 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath residence offers Water Views from nearly every window, creating a bright, serene coastal setting throughout. The home was fully renovated in 2019, blending modern coastal finishes with timeless character for a move-in ready retreat ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. Step outside and experience what truly sets this property apart. With 47 feet of bulkheaded waterfront, enjoy direct access for boating, crabbing, and paddleboarding. A rare highlight is the private beach area along the bulkhead, complete with a fire pit-perfect for gathering with family and friends while taking in sunset views over the water. The oversized lot offers ample space to add a pool and, thanks to its corner positioning, provides the potential to expand the home's footprint, creating even more value and flexibility for future customization. Additional features include custom wall sconces, a gas fireplace with marble surround, modern stainless steel appliances, and many thoughtful custom touches throughout. Located just a short walk or bike ride to the beaches of Fenwick Island, as well as local dining and shopping, this home delivers the ideal blend of privacy, convenience, and coastal charm. Opportunities like this are incredibly rare-properties with this combination of location, lot size, waterfront access, and generational history seldom come to market. Whether you're looking to enjoy it as-is or create your dream coastal compound, 45 W Dagsboro Street is a legacy property not to be missed.
