Originally built in 1991, this home underwent a transformation in 2018, with nearly every detail renewed to enhance its beauty and functionality.

The inviting foyer welcomes you into a spacious living room, seamlessly flowing into the formal dining room - perfect for hosting family and friends. The gourmet eat-in kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring stainless steel appliances, custom cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, a wet bar with a beverage fridge, a built-in breakfront, peninsula breakfast bar and room for a casual dining table. Just beyond, the cozy family room invites relaxation, with glass sliders opening to an extraordinary outdoor living space.

Multiple gathering areas include a firepit, dining space, grilling station, raised garden beds, an outdoor shower, and a charming storage building. Adding a touch of Bethany Beach nostalgia, portions of the deck were crafted from reclaimed boards from the town's very own boardwalk. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite is a sanctuary, boasting a soaring cathedral ceiling, a spa-like ensuite with dual vanities, a spacious stall shower, and a walk-in closet. A private guest suite with its own bath ensures comfort for visitors, while two additional bedrooms share a beautifully appointed hall bath. The convenience of an upper-level laundry room completes this exceptional home. Residents of Cottages on Whites Creek enjoy access to a community pool, boat ramp, and kayak launch, offering endless opportunities for waterfront adventures. Whether you're spending your days on the sand or unwinding in your own backyard haven, this is coastal living at its finest. Read Less
