Description

Welcome to your own slice of paradise! This rare waterfront gem is situated on a double lot in nature-rich, historic Slaughter Beach. This turnkey, fully furnished home provides the perfect vantage point to take in all that nature has to offer. Expansive water views and the sounds of the Delaware Bay will provide a soothing backdrop for wonderful gatherings with family and friends. Step inside to discover a newly renovated kitchen that's as functional as it is beautiful with its quartz topped island, modern finishes, and stainless appliances. The kitchen flows directly into the the main living space with its breathtaking, panoramic water views and two sets of sliding doors that open to a large, welcoming deck, and screened porch. From the deck, take the stairs to your private walkway to beach. This energy star certified home features almost 2000 sq ft of living space. The upper level has 3 bedrooms -- the primary and second bedrooms feature their own private decks to enjoy a gorgeous sunrise with your morning coffee, or a quiet evening under the stars. The main level offers a "flex" bonus room for use as a den, home office, or guest use. The Town of Slaughter Beach offers a tennis court (or bring your pickleball paddles and net!), basketball court and playground for children of all ages. Birdwatching, kayaking, fishing, boating are all here -- north end of the beach offers a public boat ramp and private boat storage as well as the DuPont Nature Center to learn about local marine life . Seasonal shifts in the sand reveal fascinating reef structures which might be seen at low tide in cooler months, then seemingly disappear as sand builds in the warmer months - a reef that provides a nature haven for marine life. Great rental income opportunity - last rental season began late and doesn't represent income potential. Waterfront properties like this don't come around often these days -- come experience it for yourself!

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
