About this property
NEW 3 BR/2.5BTH near Bethany Beach/home on stilts, open floor plan/1st FL Master
Blue Haven is in a newer beach community (Spring 2021) near Bethany Beach/ near the town of Ocean View /very close to the bay and beach - cottage style home on stilts, with an open floor plan with great room and first floor master! You will love being within walking distance to James Farm Ecological Preserve for a morning walk. Just a short drive to the Indian River Inlet State Park (amazing beaches and surfing at the North Inlet), and a short drive to downtown Bethany Beach.
The home was completed in May 2021. The neighborhood is a quaint beach cottage community, 19 single family homes on stilts with a nice beach vibe. The neighborhood is great for families and individuals.
Blue Haven is decorated in a coastal style making use of the home's natural light, with soft tones, and a clean aesthetic, evoking the breeziness of the beach. Basically, it feels like summer year-round inside The Blue Haven! Top quality furniture and mattresses to allow for rest and comfort during your stay. Bethany Beach, is one of the most delightful family resorts on the Delaware beach coast. Bethany Beach is famous for its kid-friendly boardwalk, evening musical concerts, wide sandy beaches, and fine dining. The Cedar Neck area of Ocean View has that old-time feeling from beach neighborhoods of years ago. The local neighborhood grocery store, quiet streets, and the neighboring James Farm Ecological Preserve offer a haven for your family that is only minutes from the Bethany Beach boardwalk.
Blue Haven may remind you of that old beach house you visited as a child, but it is a thoroughly modern update of the style. Elevated on sturdy pilings with plenty of covered guest parking and amenities such as decks and a screened in porch! Settle into a wonderful family retreat at the beach. This is the open plan you will love, with welcome eat-in kitchen, dining space for 10, and spacious bedrooms and baths. Home plan features a first floor master bedroom & bath w/luxury flooring throughout 1st floor. 2nd Floor has two additional spacious coastal bedrooms, and another full bath w/skylight. Covered front porch and rear screened in porch for your outdoor entertaining. The house also offers an outside shower. BOATS & JET SKIS ALLOWED and ample space to park under the home!
