Charming Coastal Cottage with Extensive Modern Upgrades – Just Minutes from Bethany Beach! Welcome to this beautifully updated coastal cottage that perfectly blends timeless charm with modern convenience. Located just 3.2 miles from the Bethany Beach boardwalk, this home sits on a spacious 0.48-acre lot with a circular driveway, a large yard, and a variety of outdoor living areas designed for entertaining, relaxing, or enjoying the beach lifestyle. The backyard also features a detached bonus structure that could be an ideal retreat and could be used as a hobby studio, inside play area or use your imagination to make this space whatever you like. ** Inside, the home features a brand-new HVAC system installed in 2025, with efficient mini-splits and ceiling cassettes in each bedroom for personalized comfort. **The kitchen, fully renovated in 2023, includes new cabinetry, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances. That same year the washer & dryer was replaced, luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed in the bedrooms, and three new insulated sliding doors with built-in blinds were added to enhance energy efficiency and natural light. Interior bedroom doors were replaced, and an electric boiler was added in the crawlspace to provide radiant heat during the winter months. Both bathrooms were completely remodeled with high-end finishes including ceramic tile floors, frameless glass shower doors, new vanities and toilets, ceramic tile shower walls, and recessed lighting. A cozy screened-in porch extension was also added in 2023, featuring a cedar and plexiglass roof that fills the space with natural light, along with new flagstone steps leading up to it. ** The outdoor spaces were upgraded in 2024 with a brand-new deck, a picnic table with built-in corner bench seating, and a pergola, making it ideal for outdoor dining and gatherings. The property also includes a hot tub, an outdoor shower, a large storage shed, and a beautifully maintained yard. ** In 2022, the home's exterior received significant improvements with new siding and insulation, a new roof, and a solar panel system. The siding and roofing on two outbuildings were also replaced. Additional exterior updates include three new exterior doors, an outdoor shower enclosure, a crawlspace that has been encapsulated and insulated, and a shut-off valve for the main water line from the street. ** A new water heater was installed in 2021. Other thoughtful updates over the past few years include refreshed landscaping, updated outdoor lighting around the deck, new mirrors and lighting fixtures above the vanities, and upgraded furnishings such as a trundle bed and couch in the sunroom, a leather couch and loveseat in the main living space, a queen-sized bed in the primary bedroom, new headboards in two of the bedrooms, and twin beds in the third bedroom. The sunroom, already beautifully furnished, offers flexibility and could easily serve as a fourth bedroom. With a wood-burning fireplace, spacious interior and exterior living areas, and countless upgrades, this home is truly move-in ready.
