Property Description
Designed and built by its owner—a custom homebuilder—as his primary residence, this elevated waterfront home showcases quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and timeless coastal style. Just a short walk from the beach and State Park, it offers the highly sought-after combination of protected canal frontage with easy access to sand and surf. Inside, the home opens to a light-filled great room with a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, and expansive canal views. The chef's kitchen features granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless-steel appliances, and a large center island, flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas and out to a screened porch overlooking the water.
The main-level owner's suite offers a private retreat with a renovated bath and custom walk-in closet, while upstairs includes three additional bedrooms, including an ensuite guest room. A lower-level bonus room or office with full bath adds flexibility. Outdoor living shines with expansive canalfront entertaining areas, a fire pit, exterior speakers, and a private dock with a 10,000-lb. boat lift. With ample parking, quality construction, and a prime location just steps from the State Park, 138 Bayshore Drive delivers the very best of South Bethany canalfront living.
