About this home
Delightful beach cottage on nearly a half-acre lot in the highly sought-after community of Middlesex, just steps from the private, lifeguarded beach and minutes to the Bethany Beach Boardwalk. This single-story coastal retreat has been fully renovated with modern updates throughout while preserving its timeless charm, including exposed beam ceilings and wide-plank wood floors. The inviting main living area features an open layout that seamlessly connects the kitchen and living room, flowing onto a large screened porch—perfect for expanded living and dining space. Just off the living area, the primary bedroom offers private access to a rear deck with a hot tub, along with a beautifully updated ensuite bath. A breezeway off the screened porch connects the main house to an additional wing, providing flexible guest space with two spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. Outside, a front deck and patio with an outdoor fireplace create yet another welcoming spot to relax. An outdoor shower makes rinsing off after a day at the beach effortless. Offered furnished, this home is move-in ready and also presents an excellent investment opportunity. A hidden bonus: a cleared path at the back of the lot provides convenient access to the restaurants and shops at Sea Colony’s Marketplace. Walk just a few short blocks to the beach, or take advantage of private beach parking available to Middlesex Beach residents. Nestled among mature pine trees on a beautifully landscaped lot, this cottage offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience—tucked away from summer crowds yet close to the beach, boardwalk, dining, and entertainment....
