Welcome 14 1st Avenue - a charming Victorian just steps from the Betterton bluff and public beach and with water views from the back deck and primary bedroom. Known as the Jewel of the Chesapeake, Betterton is located at the confluence of the Sassafras River and Chesapeake Bay and got its reputation for its picturesque sunsets and wonderful public beach. Embrace the waterfront lifestyle and so much more without the waterfront taxes. This four bedroom, two full bathroom home has been lovingly maintained and is full of historic charm: hardwood floors throughout both levels, crown, baseboard, and bullseye moldings, transom windows, the list goes on.

The first floor layout is all about convenience with an open layout and full bath. Natural light abounds the living, dining and kitchen spaces. Moving upstairs you will love the spacious primary bedroom with vaulted ceiling and water views out the back window. A full bath, three more bedrooms and a large attic / storage space complete the second floor. Large walkout basement providing easy access for bikes, kayaks, paddle boards, you name it!
