A Canalfront Retreat in South Bethany 138 Bayshore Drive - Where Craftsmanship Meets Coastal Living Perfectly positioned along one of South Bethany's tranquil canals, 138 Bayshore Drive is a rare canalfront home designed and built by its owner, a custom homebuilder, who created this as his own primary residence. Elevated for peace of mind and built with enduring quality, the home blends exceptional craftsmanship, coastal beauty, and modern comfort-all within a short, easy stroll to the sand and surf. From the street, the home's understated faà ade gives way to extraordinary interior and outdoor spaces. Step inside to a welcoming foyer that opens to the great room-the heart of the home-where a wood-burning fireplace anchors gatherings and walls of windows frame serene water views. Hardwood floors flow throughout, complemented by custom blinds, recessed lighting, and a soft coastal palette. The chef's kitchen shines with granite countertops, 42-inch display cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, a ceramic tile backsplash, and stainless-steel appliances. A large center island with breakfast bar invites casual meals and conversation. The open layout extends seamlessly to the dining area and living room, leading to a screened porch overlooking the canal, where you can enjoy morning coffee with sunrise reflections or unwind in the evening to the sound of the ocean waves and breezes. The main-level owners bedroom suite serves as a private retreat with a newly renovated bath featuring a glass-enclosed shower, dual vanities, and a walk-in closet with custom built-ins. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms provide flexibility-one with an ensuite bath and two sharing a hall bath-while abundant storage keeps everything organized. The lower level adds even more versatility, offering a private office or bonus room with a full bath, enhanced by water-resistant materials and thoughtful insulation. With upgraded systems including R19 exterior walls, R38 attic insulation, a new first-floor HVAC unit, and a whole-house humidifier, comfort is ensured in every season. Outdoors, the east-facing rear elevation reveals the home's true magic: expansive canal front living spaces for dining, lounging, and entertaining. Enjoy evenings by the fire pit, music from exterior speakers, and the convenience of a 10,000 lb. boat lift with electric service at the dock. Ample parking-over eight off-street spaces plus room for two boat trailers-makes it ideal for hosting family and friends. Just a short, easy walk to the beach and the State Park, where mornings are dog-friendly and sunsets unforgettable, this home delivers the perfect blend of location, luxury, and lifestyle. Whether as a year-round residence or private coastal getaway, 138 Bayshore Drive offers the best of South Bethany living-beautifully built, ideally situated, and ready to enjoy.
