It is not everyday that a charming Rehoboth Cottage dating back to the 1900's lands on a double corner lot just steps from a marina and the bay! That's what you have with this very special and unique property located in Bay Vista on Bald Eagle Drive. As soon as you walk through the front door you will appreciate the old Rehoboth charm that rings through the century old wooden plank floors, custom millwork, exposed beams and hidden spaces both inside and out. A cozy living room with bay window and fireplace makes the perfect place to unwind. Step into the sunroom and take in the natural light that soars through the room into the farm kitchen that was recently updated with stainless steel appliances and offers a breakfast bar or eat in nook. A full dining room leads into a secret room on the front of the house fondly referred to as the library. Upstairs you'll find a beautiful owner's suite with a full bath and Juliet balcony that overlooks the massive backyard and bay views only steps away. Two guest bedrooms and a full bath round out this side of the house. From the sunroom head straight up the steps to the massive bonus room currently being used as a bedroom with two full beds. There's plenty of space for family and visitors in this quaint cottage tucked back from the hustle and bustle. Outside it gets even better. . Unique to this community and area you have a large, fenced back yard to spread out and entertain! Back here you have stunning landscaping and a very special cottage with sleeping loft. Outdoor dinner parties and firepit gatherings are certainly in your future! The community has a Marina that you can walk to and opt in for a space for your boat. Move in today and take a step back in history while still being located only minutes to the beach, boardwalk and shopping and dining and all that Rehoboth Beach has to offer.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
