About this home

Looking to start your Delaware beach story with a million-dollar water view without the million-dollar price tag? You need look no further. Welcome to Altavista, your paradise nestled on a quiet cul-de-sac in the very desirable community of High View, known by locals as Long Neck's best kept secret for waterfront living. Views like this come along every once in a while, but never at this price. This 1,400 square foot home, built in 1997, has been beautifully maintained by the original owners, including a new roof in 2020, and comes fully furnished making it a perfect full-time home, weekend getaway, or investment property. The quiet community has a public pier and is just minutes from everything you could need. Bring your toothbrush, your friends, a martini shaker, and let the relaxation begin. The sunny open concept kitchen, living and dining areas have tons of natural light, vaulted ceilings and expansive and unobstructed breathtaking views of the Indian River Bay. There is a large open deck with retractable awning overlooking the water, making the perfect spot to grill or just hang with friends for the evening after a day at the beach. If you prefer, there is also a cozy screened porch with ceiling fan overlooking the beautiful view. Back inside there is a huge laundry room, a spacious owner's suite with attached full bath, large closet with organizing systems, two additional large bedrooms, an additional full bath, as well as ample storage throughout the home, including an attic. There is also plenty of storage space under the deck, perfect for all your beach toys, as well as lots of parking for family and friends. You have a lot to choose from on the market right now, but not with this view, and not at this price. If you are looking for your perfect getaway in southern Delaware, start your search at Altavista.
