Experience the beauty of Broadkill Beach from this unique coastal beach cottage on the desireable south part of the beach. Completely renovated and beautifully designed, this 3 bedroom, 2 bath home features many custom design elements and it ideally located with a private pier/dock, and beach access directly across the street. Home renovations span from 2015-2025, including major exterior items such as a 3 bedroom peat septic system, white fiber cement siding, roof, exterior doors and windows. The entry level was designed with summer living in mind. Custom built in daybeds double as a spacious seating area while also providing additional sleeping quarters. The septic services 3 bedrooms, so further enclosure into a formal bedroom easily possible. This area also has a beautiful, full size vintage-inspired refrigerator, built in bar, tiled bath with vintage-inspired sink, game table space and plenty of storage. There is a rear door connecting indoor and outdoor activites: a large picnic table for gatherings, a fire pit and private pier leading to Deep Hole Creek for fishing, crabbing, kayaking, birding, etc. The upper level design is an open floorplan, with elevated relaxed coastal style and numerous custom elements, designed and built for both functionality and beauty. Here, there are both panoramic views of the Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge with its well known sunsets, the water and views of the Delaware Bay. This level includes a fully equipped kitchen with modern stainless appliances, shaker style navy blue cabinets, hand milled shelving and wall panels, subway tile and a large quartz counter peninsula with seating for 4. Enjoy water views while washing your dishes from the large farmhouse style sink and commercial style faucet. The peninsula connects to the dining area with its own custom cozy nook (can also serve as a twin sleeping area). The well thought out living space includes multiple seating area, as well as floating shelves. This level has 2 bedrooms, both with closet systems to maximize storage. The primary bedroom has a unique oyster wallpaper and board and batten trim. There is also a beautifully tiled bathroom, pantry, and mudroom with built in storage. From the living area, walk out onto a covered porch where there are steps back down to ground level. The rear yard also includes a large 2 section storage shed, and beautiful outdoor shower. Immediate summer 2025 living could be yours as the home is offered fully turnkey, including furnishings from Crate and Barrel, Leesa, Serena and Lily along with curated vintage finds and East Coast local art. The house also comes fully equipped with household items, including kitchen utensils and tools, dishes, cups, linens, flatware, small appliances and so much more. Post closing, you could bring a suitcase and celebrate your first weekend with beauty and ease immediately. The home's rental potential is excellent - it was enjoyed solely as a vacation home for 9 of the past 10 years. In May 2024, it became a vacation property, and despite very minimal notice to summer renters, the house grossed over $33,000. Enjoy your coastal home as summer getaway, permanent residence and/or passive income investment.
