Beautifully positioned along the canal and just a short walk to South Bethany's wide, lifeguarded beach, this exceptional waterfront retreat offers the best of both boating and beach living. Designed and built by a custom homebuilder as his family's personal residence, this elevated home showcases the quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and attention to detail that define truly exceptional coastal living. The inviting great room features hardwood flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, and expansive canal views. The well-appointed kitchen offering granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island, flows seamlessly into the dining area and living space. Step outside to the spacious screened porch overlooking the water—an ideal setting for morning coffee, evening cocktails, or outdoor dining. The main-level primary suite offers a private retreat with a beautifully renovated spa-like bathroom and custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including a comfortable ensuite guest room and a full-sized laundry room. The lower level offers a versatile bonus room with a full bath that can easily serve as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, home office, or flex space plus an abundance of conditioned storage space for all your beach and boating necessities. Outdoor living is equally impressive with an expansive brick paver patio, fire pit, exterior speaker system, and private dock equipped with a 10,000-pound boat lift. Tucked away on a quiet non-through street, this home offers easy access to all that South Bethany has to offer and is just a 10-minute walk to a dog -friendly beach. Spend your days at the beach, cruise the waterways by boat or jet ski, launch a kayak from your backyard, and enjoy the convenience of docking your boat just steps from your door. This is coastal living at its finest.
