A rare find……waterfront home situated on almost a full acre bordering the town of Bethany Beach. This home is nestled directly on the Assawoman Canal in the quiet community of Ocean Way Estates, which is located only 1.5 miles from the beach and boardwalk and backs up to the community of Turtle Walk in Bethany. Where else can you find this much land in this location? You can even launch a kayak, canoe, or paddle board right from your own backyard! Home is just steps from the Bethany Beach Trolley stop, making it easy to walk, bike, or trolley to the beach, shopping, or your favorite restaurants. The large horseshoe driveway allows plenty of space for your out-of-town guests. Bring your imagination to make this 3 BR, 2.5 BR rancher your dream beach home! Property being sold AS-IS, WHERE-IS, no guarantees or warranties. Inspections will be at the Buyer's expense and for informational purposes only.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.
