Upstairs, a second owner's suite, two additional bedrooms, full bath, and an oversized bonus recreation room provide ample space for family and guests. Additional features include first floor laundry room with cabinets and utility sink, a tankless water heater, lawn irrigation (with its own well and a new controller), ceiling fans throughout, a two-car garage with upgraded flooring, shelving, and workbench area, and a recently updated HVAC system and new sump pump for added peace of mind.

Bay Forest at Bethany Beach, located between the Assawoman Bay shoreline and DE-26 (Atlantic Avenue), is a coastal and resort-style Millville neighborhood with wooded streetscapes and bayfront trails. The community’s character concentrates around the Bay Forest clubhouse and pool complex, where porches, paths, and gathering lawns set a relaxed, outdoors-forward rhythm. Architecture leans coastal-craftsman with broad rooflines, screened porches, and tidy landscaping. Kayak launches and boardwalk-style walks frame daily routines around water and marsh views. Nearby, Salted Rim, Bethany Blues BBQ Pit, and Dickens Parlour Theatre in downtown Millville/Bethany add local flavor beyond the gates.
