Description

Stunning coastal retreat just one block from the beach, masterfully crafted with exceptional attention to detail by nationally recognized builder Marnie Oursler. Offered with high-end furnishings, this home embodies effortless luxury and elevated seaside living. Every element has been thoughtfully designed, beginning with the gourmet chef’s kitchen, featuring commercial-grade appliances, a striking walnut island, quartz countertops, classic subway tile backsplash, and a vintage glass pantry door. Custom white oak flooring flows seamlessly throughout the home, enhancing its warm and timeless coastal design. The open-concept living space is highlighted by wood-beamed ceilings and oversized sliding glass doors that open to a generous porch, creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The primary suite is a true sanctuary, offering a private balcony and spa-inspired bath with dual quartz vanities and a glass-enclosed walk-in shower. A secondary primary suite also enjoys its own balcony and coastal-inspired bath with sea-glass tile shower, designer vanity, and sleek modern finishes. Two guest bedrooms connected by a stylish Jack-and-Jill bath, including one with custom built-in bunk, are perfect for hosting family and friends. Laundry is conveniently located on both the upper and lower levels. Designed for ease and comfort, the home is elevator-ready with a shaft already in place, and features an outdoor shower with a changing area—ideal after a day on the sand. A rare pull-through garage with a barn-style door adds both character and functionality. No expense was spared from start to finish, delivering the very finest in beach living. Ideally located just a few blocks from downtown shops and restaurants, this exceptional home offers the perfect blend of luxury, location, and coastal lifestyle.

    "Very family friendly. Lots of diversity here. Cant wait to come back and make this a family tradition "
  • Febarnes88
    "Having an automobile is a must have in this neighborhood as all of the shops and restaurants are at least a mile away. Biking is also an option for small shopping trips but you better have a basket attached to your bike. "
  • Kathymckeanyoung
    "Busy in summer months: easy the rest of the year. No public transportation but biking is done by young and old. It is an easy place to get around."
  • Rekipeach
    "The tourist make it almost impossible to live here thank goodness for the winter.The local community is wonderful and there’s many churches nearby and playgrounds you’re only about a mile from the beach"
  • Kathymckeanyoung

  • Ellen

    "We’ve been vacationing in Beautiful Bethany Beach DE for years...my husband & I finally bought a home here a couple of years ago. We just LOVE everything about Bethany! I even just opened a 2nd business (ladies boutique) here do I could spend more time here💕"
  • Suz
    "As an owner, you may have dogs at a Sea Colony. Renters may not. There are many great walking paths for exercise"
  • Chris Z.
    "👍🏻 everything is walkable. All the people are friendly. Lots of neighborhood amenities. Walk to the ocean, park, library, restaurants, shops. "
  • cgniehaus
    "This house is 1.5 miles from ocean, great restaurants from .5 to just a few miles away, the subdivision is quiet, friendly with minimal association involvement. Not only are there views of the lake, there is access to the lake for kayaking/canoeing (the lake connects to canals leading the bays!). The porch is actually a three season sunroom complete with vinyl windows and screens along with an AC/heat unit. During the summer, the town trolley provides 25 cent rides to the beach on an approximate 30 minute basis throughout the day."
  • healthkare
    "Pool, tennis, quiet private community. Great views of new bridge that is lit at night. Once the removal of old bridge, this place is goin to be hot! Bayside of street homes get sun exposure at the back side of there houses. Very private if you lay out or plan to use your deck a lot w/killer views."
