JUST REDUCED! This very unique bay front property sits upon the equivalent of 2 Bayfront lots and was originally part of the Slaughter Beach Hotel dating back to the late 1800's. The large parcel includes 0.84 acres on the Delaware Bay with 114 feet of direct beach frontage. The former hotel was stripped down to the studs and completely rebuilt, leaving as many original features of the structure as possible . It now stands 3.5 stories tall and includes, an elevator providing access to the first 3 floors, wrap around deck, living area off the kitchen, open floor plan with panoramic Delaware Bay views from each side of the home! The newly renovated ground floor includes laundry, massive storage, a whole house generator and new HVAC. The 2nd floor is the primary living, dining and kitchen area with a full bath. The 3rd floor provides 3 bedrooms - 2 of which have direct bay views and the 4th floor boasts a open beam bay front loft bedroom with a private sun deck overlooking the Bay. The oversized climate controlled, detached garage with a finished office space and/or potential 2-story dwelling area provides extra conditioned living area and more massive storage. The House is approximately 4,800 sq ft. The detached garage is estimated at 1,600 sq ft. Slaughter Beach is incorporated as a town with a volunteer fire department, beach pavilion, recreational park including tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts, playground equipment and over sized public parking area. The Cedar Creek marina at the North end of town provides indoor boat storage, marine services and easy boating access to the Delaware Bay through the Mispillion Inlet,. The DuPont Nature Center and public boat ramp are located across the Cedar Creek Bridge to the North.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
