About this home

Cool! Cool! Cool! Step back in time with this charming vintage Delaware Bay cottage nestled in the quiet, secluded community of South Bowers Beach. This two-story retreat is full of nostalgic character, featuring a main level with kitchen, dining, and living areas designed for simple coastal living. The enclosed front porch offers scenic views of the Delaware Bay, along with nearby fisheries, local eateries, and charter boats. Outdoor enthusiasts will love kayaking along the Murderkill River, surrounded by peaceful marshland and abundant wildlife. Step right out your front door to the dock and head out for crabbing, fishing, or hunting adventures. This property presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation and investment, with strong potential as a seasonal getaway or year-round retreat. A small garage provides additional storage, and the location is ideal—just a short scenic drive to Milford for shopping, dining, downtown events, and local pubs. For a fun outing, paddle across the river to JP’s Wharf or Bayview for waterfront dining and live music. South Bowers Beach is a quaint coastal community east of Route 1, where farmland and natural beauty remain preserved. This diamond in the rough is brimming with possibilities and could truly become a home for all seasons. Property is being sold as-is. Exterior photos have been enhanced by AI to show a sunny day.
