Description

Expansive open water views through entire walls of glass from almost every room characterize this charming contemporary home. Located in an exclusive peninsula community of delightfully diverse homes, the new resident will wake to waterscapes, wildlife, bay breezes and quiet relaxation. Entering this home from the giant waterfront deck, you are greeted with a spacious room designed to view the water from virtually every corner. Entertain in the airy open kitchen with a European ambiance, situated to take advantage of the many vistas that envelop this home. The home was taken down to the studs in 2007 and all new wiring, plumbing, kitchen, baths and a large addition with an elevator, new owner's suite, and much more, was completed. Some of the pampered touches in this home are a cedar closet, heated owner's bath flooring, towel warmer, and a generous large tiled walk-in shower. An oversized 2 car garage has room for a workshop or hobby space. Beautifully scaled landscaping with irrigation make yard work minimal. Located on "Beach Cove" just off the Indian River Bay, with easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, restaurants and shopping are available by boat! You'll need to jump on the waiting list for a boat slip in the private community marina if boating is one of your passions. There's also community tennis and pickleball for the enthusiast. Tucked away from resort traffic and crowds, enjoy low HOA fees of $1200/year along with DE low property taxes. Also an owned solar power system further lower your living expenses. This home has loads of storage with a large storage room off the primary bedroom, shelving in the garage plus a large additional shed and a secure area to keep water toys next to the perfect breezy hammock location. All this and located within a few minutes of Bethany, Fenwick and Rehoboth Beach. This well constructed and maintained home offers incredible value with a priceless location and views NOTE: Closet off of 4th BR is plumbed as a full bath so could easily be converted to create a second owner's suite complete with fireplace.

    "Started in the 60’s long before subdivisions and sewers came in. Sadly the mobile homes have gone they way of chicken houses. Now there are 2-3 story town houses replacing them. Can’t beat the privacy and view. Happy to have lived here for over 50 years before the great influx!"

    "We looked all around the DE beach area for a nice conventional home in a marina community, important for our boat useage. We wanted something upscale, quiet, and close to the amenities, without any significant crime worries. We found all that in Whites Creek Manor, and were fortunate to find an available house. We have a boat slip with a lift a very short walk away, with an easy run up the creek into Indian River Bay. We can easily ride our bike to the beach, which eliminates beach parking issues. The supermarkets are very close. The community pool is well run. The population is mostly "life experienced", few kids that are not grandkids, but that is fine for us, our youngest finished college a year ago. They can enjoy nearby Dewey or OC's night life when they visit. Taxes are incredibly low compared to where we lived previously. Utilities are a bit more, but the low taxes more than offset that. We love walking around the neighborhood, everyone is friendly, and takes good care of their homes. If you are this type of person, you would love it here. "
