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 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.
