Nestled on a mature, tree-lined lot in the sought-after Cottages at Whites Creek community with direct access to White's Creek, this two-level home is just one mile from downtown Bethany Beach, where you'll enjoy easy access to dining, shopping, the boardwalk, and the beach. A welcoming wraparound deck extends from the front porch to the backyard, creating exceptional outdoor living space.

Freshly updated in 2025, this home features a new kitchen appliance package, 75% of the interior freshly painted, beautifully remodeled bathrooms, new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level, and a brand-new roof. The living room features luxury vinyl plank flooring and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the kitchen, which offers bright white cabinetry, ample counter space, a center island with counter seating, and a charming breakfast nook. Adjacent to the kitchen is a versatile Florida Room area with abundant natural light, a convenient powder room, and direct access to the wraparound deck. The main-level primary suite offers easy single-floor living and includes a French-door entry, vaulted ceiling, stackable laundry closet, private deck access, and an ensuite bath with a tub/shower combination, updated vanity, and natural light. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms with newly installed carpeting and a full hall bathroom, providing comfortable accommodations for family and guests. Additional highlights include an HVAC system updated in 2021 and access to desirable community amenities, including a boat ramp, dock and community pool. Whether you're searching for a year-round residence, vacation getaway, or investment opportunity, this coastal retreat offers an exceptional location and the relaxed lifestyle that makes the Bethany Beach area so desirable.
