About this House

Coastal comfort meets resort-style living in the highly coveted Salt Pond community. This spacious single-family home offers over 2,100 square feet of bright, functional living space, perfectly positioned on a generous .22-acre lot with serene pond views. The interior is designed for effortless transitions between relaxation and hosting. The main level flows seamlessly from the inviting living areas into the dining space and out to a sprawling four-season sunroom—the ultimate spot to unwind after a day in the surf. Upstairs, you’ll find three comfortable bedrooms, including a primary suite featuring an ensuite bath and its own private deck for morning coffee. Need a bit more space? The current den can easily be converted back into a fourth bedroom, as the original closet space is already framed within the walls. Outside, the property shines with established landscaping and a backyard primed for evening BBQs in the coastal breeze. **Don't miss the "hidden" outdoor/indoor shower, a clever and convenient feature that makes rinsing off after a day at the beach a total breeze.** An attached two-car garage ensures there is plenty of room for vehicles, bikes, and all your gear. Living in The Salt Pond feels like a permanent vacation. Residents enjoy a premier amenity package including indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball, volleyball, and a fitness center. Golf enthusiasts will love the 18-hole executive course, while water lovers can launch a kayak or canoe directly into the community’s namesake pond. Located just three miles from the iconic Bethany Beach boardwalk, local boutiques, and vibrant dining, 486 Bethany Loop offers the perfect balance of a peaceful neighborhood setting and easy access to the sand. Whether you’re looking for a year-round residence or a seasonal retreat, this is your chance to own a piece of the coast.
We estimate this home will sell faster than 96% nearby.

    "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. "

    "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."

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."
