Welcome to 37 Holly Road! Located on a quiet cud-de-sec in private North Shores, this property has not been on the market since 1969 and is a rare opportunity to acquire a waterfront property on North Shore’s Yacht Basin – either for the existing classic North Shores atrium-style home or as a redevelopment site. The location is ideal – close to the North Shores’ private beach, community pool, tennis and pickleball courts, bike trails and other amenities, and also offers a large yard behind an existing bulkhead and a private dock. With minimal boat traffic in the Yacht Basin, the dock is a great place to soak up the sun, go crabbing or fishing, and is the ideal location for launching kayaks, canoes, paddle boards and other water sports. Or keep a powerboat at the dock and explore the canal, Lewes, Rehoboth or Delaware Bays, or the nearby marshes at Gordon’s Pond. This classic waterfront atrium house features a main section with an open kitchen/living and dining area, with full height glass walls and doors that open to a large, screened atrium. The main section also includes an en suite bedroom and bath. On the other side of the atrium are 3 additional bedrooms, 2 half baths plus a separate room with shower and tub. The atrium provides great natural daylight for the living areas and bedrooms, and offers a wonderful indoor-outdoor space, perfect for relaxing, gatherings and enjoying the water view. There is also a separate cottage with central air conditioning and heat, bathroom, fireplace and enclosed porch. With plenty of off street parking, a relaxing sun deck and a refreshing outdoor shower, the home is the perfect vacation spot! This home is being offered fully furnished, if desired.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

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.
