This quintessential waterfront Broadkill Beach cottage is a treat for those who love the charm of original beach cottages. This home, built in the 1930's, retains much of that old world character, including huge screened porch overlooking the Delaware Bay, large front deck, and even porch shutters that close the home up tight for difficult weather. 2010 renovation included new metal roof with floored attic, new wiring, new pergo flooring, gas fireplace, large built-in dining area bench with storage, and bathroom. Easy to convert of the bedrooms into a second bath. Outdoor shower, beautiful landscaping, and huge kitchen and built-in dining room table for those great gatherings of family and friends at the beach. Beautiful new beach from recent beach replenishment, with beach access point is directly in front of this home.
