Impressive beach cottage located on a nearly half-acre wooded lot in the private community of Middlesex Beach, just a short walk to the Ocean and minutes from the Bethany Beach boardwalk! Enter this sprawling coastal retreat through the beautiful atrium with screened skylights and continue through glass doors to the inviting great room with a wood burning fireplace and exposed wood beam vaulted ceilings painted a crisp white. This home offers the ideal layout for entertaining with a desirable open floor plan that combines the living spaces with the dining area and kitchen, and multiple sets of French doors that open to the large atrium. The kitchen features granite countertops, tiled backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and a large walk-in pantry. There is additional living space with built-in bookcases at the entrance of the primary bedroom suite that would be the perfect spot for a reading nook or home office. Enter the primary suite which features a gas fireplace, huge walk-in closet, access to a cozy screened porch, and a large bathroom with dual sinks and tiled walk-in shower. There is an additional en-suite bedroom with full bathroom and a third spacious bedroom and full bathroom, both with easy access to the central atrium. Cleaning up from a day at the beach or out on the boat is easy with two outdoor showers. An air conditioned shed with an extra freezer makes a great workshop or could easily be converted to a game room for the kids. The oversized 2 car garage with a second refrigerator has a large storage area above that could easily be converted into additional living space. Walk just a few short blocks to the lifeguarded beach or drive over and utilize the private parking spaces as a resident of Middlesex Beach. Situated on a quiet non-thru street and nestled among mature pine trees, this is the perfect location to feel tucked away from the crowds yet close to the beach, boardwalk, restaurants and entertainment.
