271 OYSTER SHELL COVE Bethany Beach, DE 19930

Affordable single family home in sought after Salt Pond. This mostly furnished 3 bedroom, 2 bath home, with den and bonus room, nestled amongst mature trees on a large, private lot offers one level living. The cozy den with tv, and sleep sofa affords extra sleeping space when desired, but would make an excellent home office as well, or quiet retreat away from the Great Room. Take a flight of stairs from the enclosed porch up to a large bonus room above the garage with baseboard heat and air-conditioning. Currently furnished with 4 twin beds for overflow guests, this would make an excellent private home office, artist's studio, or craft room - the possibilities are only limited by your imagination!

A wide and welcoming wrap around composite porch in the front of the home is perfect for catching coastal breezes after a day at the beach, or host a crowd on the back porch, spanning the length of the home, recently enclosed with EZBreeze windows, allowing the best of both worlds - screens to keep the bugs at bay, and protection against the weather and extend its use in cooler seasons.
