Description

LOT VALUE just a 2.5 block walk to the beach! An exceptional opportunity to build your dream beach home, ideally situated on a quiet, private dead-end street with only six homes. This property is all about location and possibility.
Located outside the incorporated limits of the Town of Dewey Beach, the property is subject to Sussex County zoning and building requirements rather than Town of Dewey Beach regulations. Current county regulations allow for a building height of up to 42 feet, offering exciting potential to design a substantial new coastal residence and take advantage of this sought-after location.
The existing one-story home is being sold for lot value and prov
ides the opportunity to start fresh and create a home designed specifically for today’s beach lifestyle. Enjoy the privacy of a tucked-away residential street while remaining just a short 2.5-block walk from the sand and ocean, with Dewey Beach dining, entertainment and recreation nearby.
A rare combination of privacy, proximity to the beach, and Sussex County building potential — bring your vision and create your dream home at the Delaware coast. Buyer to independently verify zoning, setbacks, building height, lot coverage and all redevelopment requirements with Sussex County.
