Charming waterfront beach cottage just a few blocks to the ocean with a boat dock just outside the back door. Well maintained and ready to enjoy, with lots of features to enjoy such as a breezy screened porch, waterfront deck, and ideal location. Just big enough to share but easy to maintain with a low maintenance - no grass yard, everything on one level, and LOW taxes and NO HOA fees! Enjoy for a few years and then add a second story like so many neighboring homes or remove and build new. Newer homes selling in the $800 - $900,000. range in the area. Or keep as is, a great beach cottage. Dock, deck and bulk-heading recently replaced, oversized lot, outside shower, and charming sunny bedrooms will be appreciated. This is turn key to enjoy this summer and priced very reasonably. Beach living like you remember and a fantastic investment too. Delaware is booming - retirees are flocking here, lock in your location now with low interest rates in an amazing Southern DE beach town.
