Property Description
COASTAL SANCTUARY IN PRIME HOOK! Modern comfort meets nature's edge in this exquisitely updated 2-bedroom, 2-bath cottage located in the peaceful, highly-coveted community of Primehook Beach. Perfectly positioned to offer the best of both worlds, this home is just steps away from the private Delaware Bay sands while directly overlooking the vast, protected beauty of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. From the moment you step inside, you are greeted by an airy, open-concept living space with gleaming hardwood floors. The kitchen has been thoughtfully re-imagined for the modern homeowner, featuring crisp white cabinetry, premium stainless steel appliances, quartz countertops, and a stunning glass-tile backsplash that reflects the colors of the coast. The sophisticated design continues through both spacious bedrooms, including a primary suite with a high-end navy vanity, and elegant gold fixtures in its en-suite bath. A major highlight of this property is undoubtedly the expansive screened porch. Boasting rustic timber beams and a massive cooling fan, this outdoor sanctuary serves as your front-row seat to spectacular marsh views, sunset, and the peaceful symphony of local birdlife. Adding incredible value and versatility is the massive unfinished walk-out basement, providing ample space for kayak and beach gear storage. Whether you are seeking a turnkey vacation rental, a seasonal escape, or a serene year-round residence, this Primehook gem offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Delaware's most tranquil coastline.
