Buying Waterfront in Delaware

 

For so many, living on the water is a dream! 

There are countless options to make that dream become a reality in Delaware. 

Along with spectacular oceanfront properties, which for many are more expensive than anticipated, there are stunning options along bays and creeks that are not a second choice, but rather second to none. 

Imagine waking up overlooking the open bay of Assawoman, Indian River or Rehoboth. 

Walk out your back door and kayak on the Dirickson Creek or White’s Creek or watch a heron glide along the water while crabbing for dinner and watching the sunset on the bay. 

Keep your mind open and take a look at the possibilities...

The home is served by public water and public sewer and is located near Bethany Beach without placing you in the middle of summertime congestion. Enjoy convenient access to local restaurants, shopping, recreation and the beach, while returning home to the privacy and slower pace of waterfront Ocean View. Whether enjoyed as a primary residence, coastal retreat or the setting for a future vision, properties offering this combination of water frontage, southern exposure, cul-de-sac privacy and open water views rarely become available.
