Opportunities like this are rare, with protected natural surroundings creating a peaceful backdrop just 2 miles from the beaches of Bethany and only minutes from downtown Bethany Beach. Designed for both comfort and entertaining, the home has been thoughtfully updated with numerous recent improvements, including a new HVAC system, a new roof to be installed prior to settlement, newer water heater, microwave, cooktop, double wall ovens, washer, and dryer. Fresh interior paint, new carpeting throughout the bedrooms, and hardwood flooring throughout the main-level living areas create a warm, move-in-ready coastal retreat. From the moment you arrive, the paver driveway, carriage-style garage doors, and expanded paver walkway create timeless coastal curb appeal. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer and elegant dining room with tray ceiling welcome you into an open, light-filled floor plan. The spacious kitchen features granite countertops, a breakfast bar, pantry, and flows seamlessly into the expansive great room with a gas fireplace—perfect for gathering with family and friends. Sliding glass doors open to a private rear porch where tranquil wooded views invite you to relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, complete with a tray ceiling, two walk-in closets, a spacious bath, and an extended sitting area ideal for a reading nook. A second bedroom or possible home office with convenient full bath access, laundry room, and abundant storage complete the first floor. The open staircase overlooks the lower level, offering two additional guest bedrooms, generous living space, and a large bonus room above the garage with more than 300 square feet of flexible space—perfect for a media room, fitness studio, hobby room, or additional guest accommodations. Bethany Preserve is a hidden gem, offering a community pool and a peaceful setting while remaining just minutes from downtown Bethany Beach, its charming boardwalk, boutique shopping, and exceptional dining.
