This South Bethany home offers the best of coastal living, with a private backyard dock and the ocean just a few blocks away! Set on an oversized canal-front lot along a quiet street with no through traffic, 205 W 10th Street is a well-maintained and updated beach house with generous… Read More outdoor living spaces. An electric jet ski lift complements the private boat dock, and the canal leads to the open bay. Viewed from the water, the cottage's deep blue siding and crisp white trim stand out against a backdrop of mature pines. Inside, the great room opens beneath a soaring vaulted ceiling with exposed wood beams. Oversized gable windows bring daylight deep into the room. A wood-burning fireplace with a floor-to-ceiling stone surrounds the seating area, and warm hardwood floors carry through the main level. Along the canal side, sliding glass doors bring the water into view and open to the upper deck. The dining area shares the vaulted ceiling and waterfront outlook, with pendant lighting over the table and easy access to the deck for meals outdoors. The living and dining areas sit side by side, so conversation can carry from the table to the fireplace. The updated kitchen has white Shaker-style cabinetry, granite countertops and stainless-steel appliances. A broad, curved center island with a built-in cooktop gives guests a place to sit and chat while meals come together, and the surrounding counters leave room for prep and serving. Just beyond the island, a sitting area beside the canal-facing windows offers a sunny spot for morning coffee. With the dining area just off the kitchen, the island can double as a place to set out food and drinks when friends are over. Four bedrooms and four full baths make it easy to host overnight guests and give everyone space to unwind at the end of a day. One light-filled bedroom has hardwood floors and a full bath featuring a glass-enclosed tiled shower and a white vanity with drawer storage. A staircase from the great room leads to the loft, which offers a flexible space for a home office, a reading area or a quiet retreat. On the canal side, two levels of decking give outdoor gatherings room to spread out. Cable railings along the upper deck preserve sightlines to the canal, and a broad set of steps leads down to an expansive waterside patio deck. There is room below for both a dining table and a separate lounge area. A walkway leads from the patio through a gate in the white waterfront fence and directly to the dock, making it easy to carry gear down to the boat. Come back from a cruise on the bay, tie up behind the house and head straight to the patio for dinner. On quieter mornings, take a kayak out along the canal or settle into a chair and watch the boats go by. The attached garage and separate outdoor shed offer plenty of room for beach chairs, bikes and boating gear. A semicircular driveway provides off-street parking for five vehicles, making it easy to have guests over. The home is offered furnished, so you can begin enjoying it while making it your own. South Bethany's lifeguarded beach is a few blocks away on foot, giving you the option to leave the car at home. With its desirable location, generous outdoor living areas, charming architectural details, and direct connection to the water, this home presents a wonderful opportunity to experience the relaxed elegance and timeless appeal of coastal Delaware living.
