About the Listing NRP13 - 3256583

A rare canalfront retreat just steps from the beach, this custom-built South Bethany home delivers the coastal lifestyle buyers wait years to find. Perfectly positioned along one of South Bethany’s most tranquil canals, 138 Bayshore Drive represents one of the finest canalfront homes to come to market in some time. 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.
