About this home

Where beach and nature meet, this elegant coastal home was constructed with high quality finishes and features by well-known local builder. All appointments and details were carefully and meticulously chosen to accentuate the luxury feel and still keep that beach cottage charm. Designed with easy beach living in mind, the ground level offers two garages, a large room that could be a gym or spacious game room, and an elevator that provides easy access to all 3 levels. The middle level of this home offers an additional living room with a wet bar and 3 bedrooms, one of which being a master en-suite. Walk up to the third main living level and be greeted by soaring ceilings, natural light, shiplap details surrounding the gas fireplace, and a perfect blend of gourmet kitchen and dining/living area. This level also brings you to the exquisite master bedroom suite and additional second bedroom. Multiple decks and balconies off both the front and back of the home provide ample space to gather inside or out. This impressive home is within walking distance to downtown and will be finished in time to enjoy the summer of 2022 in North Bethany! With no HOA rules, this home has excellent daily or weekly vacation rental income potential. Agent is owner.
