Property Description
Designed and built by its owner—a custom homebuilder—as his personal residence, this elevated waterfront home is a showcase of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and timeless coastal style. Just a short walk to both the beach and the State Park, the property offers the rare and highly sought-after combination of protected canal frontage with easy access to the sand and surf.
Inside, the home opens to a light-filled great room featuring hardwood floors, a wood-burning fireplace, and expansive views of the canal. The chef's kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large center island, all flowing seamlessly into the dining and living areas and out to a screened porch overlooking the water.
The main-level owner's suite provides a private retreat with a beautifully renovated bath and custom walk-in closet. Upstairs, you'll find three additional bedrooms, including an ensuite guest room. The lower level offers a bonus room or office with a full bath, which could easily serve as a fifth bedroom, guest suite, or private flex space.
Outdoor living is where this home truly shines, with expansive canalfront entertaining areas, a fire pit, exterior speakers, and a private dock complete 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.
