This is very likely the very first cottage built in North Shores (except for the model), which is probably why you'll be hard pressed to find a better lot with picturesque views from the entire rear of the home and across the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal. This mid-century modern home is like a time capsule of charm and built just off center to allow the eye to capture the best possible panoramic landscape It is nestled quietly amongst the pines in the prestigious community of North Shores. The Main House features original hardwood floors, built in seating, sliding glass doors from the living room and into the 2nd primary bedroom allowing you to soak in the amazing scenery no matter where you stand. The original master bedroom is off the front courtyard and offers its own respite. Two additional bedrooms are located in the casita across the breezeway with a full bath on the outer edge of the Main House. Entertain or relax on the jumbo-sized screened porch leading into the spacious back yard. Sit on your private dock or jump on your boat and ride to the Rehoboth or Delaware Bays and Atlantic Ocean. It is located just a short walk to Gordon's Pond and along the Breakwater & Junction Trail at Cape Henlopen State Park. The community's private beach, swimming pool, tennis courts and other amenities are a stone's throw away. The town and boardwalk of Rehoboth Beach are just around the corner along with the incredible restaurants and shops.
