This home is the epitome of "business in the front, celebration in the back," with breathtaking views from nearly every room and outdoor areas designed for pure coastal living. Upon entering, you're greeted by a light-filled living room with floor-to-ceiling windows on three sides, framing panoramic vistas that stretch for miles. Elegant barn doors open to reveal the heart of the home—the great room, featuring an open-concept family room, kitchen, and dining area. Bamboo floors unify the space, while a stunning Palladian-topped picture window, crown molding, and beadboard accents infuse the area with character and coastal charm.

Outside, the recently installed paver patio extends to the new bulkhead, creating multiple zones for relaxation and entertainment, including a “Splash Pad”—making you the envy of all the grandparents! Say goodbye to trailing your boat or jet ski, as this home’s private dock allows you to park them right at your doorstep. Whether it’s an early morning fishing trip, a spontaneous outing on the water, or even breakfast in Lewes or Cape May, you’re ready to set off in moments, with no traffic in sight. And with the beach just a two-minute walk away, the outdoor experience here is nothing short of exceptional. From alfresco dining in the spacious screened porch to watching the harbor’s activity, every moment is an invitation to coastal living at its finest. Recent updates include a new HVAC system, tankless water heater, garage door, bulkhead, screened porch, and programmable thermostat. Located on the mouth of the Murderkill River, you may easily access the charming town of Bowers Beach, which offers a lively port town atmosphere with restaurants, boat launches, and sandy beaches. The current owners have meticulously maintained this home, ensuring it remains a stunning and inviting coastal haven.
