About this home
MOVE IN READY FOR BOATERS + FISHERMEN PRIVATE DOCK TWO MIN WALK TO BEACH Nestled at the serene end of S. Bowers Rd. amidst tall sea grasses, welcome to 4478 South Bowers Rd., a vibrant waterfront coastal retreat. Its unassuming façade, adorned with colorful flower boxes and a welcoming balcony, offers a glimpse of the lively interior and expansive outdoor spaces that await. The bright and playful interior spaces reflect the home's coastal charm, offering an inviting and fun atmosphere that mirrors the colorful blooms outside. This home is the epitome of "business in the front, celebration in the back," with breathtaking views from nearly every room and outdoor areas designed for pure coastal living. Upon entering, you're greeted by a light-filled living room with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, framing panoramic vistas that stretch for miles. Elegant barn doors open to reveal the heart of the home—the great room, featuring an open-concept family room, kitchen, and dining area. Bamboo floors unify the space, while a stunning Palladian-topped picture window, crown molding, and beadboard accents infuse the area with character and coastal charm. The kitchen, designed with the chef in mind, boasts ample cabinetry and granite countertops, ideal for preparing meals while enjoying scenic views. The primary bedroom is a peaceful retreat with its own private balcony, offering an uninterrupted panorama—perfect for morning coffee or witnessing nature’s ever-changing show at sunrise. A well-appointed full bath completes this level. The lower level provides comfortable guest sleeping quarters, along with a laundry center and access to the oversized garage, complete with custom storage solutions. With two queen sofa beds, the home can comfortably sleep nine, making it an excellent opportunity for an Airbnb or vacation rental. Its close proximity to the DE Turf Sports Complex adds even more appeal for visiting families or sports teams looking for a convenient and scenic stay. Outside, the recently installed paver patio extends to the new bulkhead, creating multiple zones for relaxation and entertainment, including a “Splash Pad”—making you the envy of all the grandparents! Say goodbye to trailing your boat or jet ski, as this home’s private dock allows you to park them right at your doorstep.

And with the beach just a two-minute walk away, the outdoor experience here is nothing short of exceptional. From alfresco dining in the spacious screened porch to watching the harbor’s activity, every moment is an invitation to coastal living at its finest. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, garage door, bulkhead, screened porch, and programmable thermostat. Located on the mouth of the Murderkill River, you may easily access the charming town of Bowers Beach, which offers a lively port town atmosphere with restaurants, boat launches, and sandy beaches. The current owners have meticulously maintained this home, ensuring it remains a stunning and inviting coastal haven.
