Beautiful canal front cottage with a private boat dock, located just a few blocks to the wide life-guarded beach in South Bethany. Situated on 2 intersecting canals, this home is full of coastal style and was designed for comfortable beach and boat living.  Constructed to take full advantage of incredible water views, the inverted floor plan brings the main living area to the upper level. The wide open great room features a knotty pine vaulted ceiling, wood burning fireplace, and 3 sets of sliding glass doors that open to a large waterfront screened porch. Also on the main floor is the primary bedroom with en suite bathroom, a guest bedroom, and a half bath plus laundry.  The lower level offers a 3rd bedroom with water views, full bathroom, and an additional family room that easily doubles as extra sleeping space.  This room opens to a covered porch that overlooks the water and steps down to the large waterfront deck, convenient for boating and perfect for entertaining. Two outdoor storage spaces offer plenty of room for all of your beach and boating necessities and the outdoor shower makes cleaning up from a day at the beach a breeze. This home also has solar panels that offer a large cost savings on energy bills. Walk to the beach or take the boat, jet ski or kayaks out for a day on the water with your dock just steps from your back door.
