Description

A Waterfront Retreat Creekside in South Bethany At the very end of Petherton Drive, nestled peacefully along one of the Jefferson Creek's canals, discover a rare opportunity to own a distinguished coastal retreat, situated on a corner lot, where your backyard opens to Assawoman Bay, and the ocean lies just minutes away by boat or bike. This gracious three-level home boasts over 3,750 square feet of inspired living and entertaining spaces designed to celebrate its exceptional waterfront setting. With 5 bedrooms, 3 full and 1 half baths, the home comfortably accommodates many guests, the seller has hosted over 20 guests on a regular basis, making it a dream for extended family gatherings, a second home getaway, or an incredible rental investment opportunity. A covered entry welcomes you inside to a sunlit interior recently refreshed with a crisp, coastal palette, featuring new carpet, fresh paint, and the solid architectural elements of hardwood flooring, natural wood millwork, and an open floor plan that allows the scenery to shine. The main living level is a haven for gatherings. A spacious kitchen stretches across the back of the home, with generous granite prep spaces, 42-inch custom cabinetry, a gas range, double dishwashers, and a substantial center island, with pullout drawer storage solutions. An adjacent scullery is perfect for party prep, keeping everything neat and polished, ensuring the heart of the home, the gourmet kitchen remains as beautiful as it is functional. Connected yet distinct, the living and family rooms are divided by a beautifully crafted staircase-creating dual zones for relaxation or entertaining. A gas fireplace adds warmth and charm, while the adjoining sunroom is wrapped in glass and offers breathtaking views of the canal, creek, and beyond. Dine at the breakfast bar, gather in the cozy dining nook, or step outside and let the views steal the show. Upstairs, the primary suite is an expansive sanctuary. It features a sitting area, private balcony access, multiple closets, and a large ensuite bath with two vanities, a soaking tub, and walk-in shower. A charming loft landing just outside the suite is perfect for a reading nook, office, or lounge-also with access to a scenic upper-level balcony. Two additional guest rooms, a full hall bath, and a spacious laundry room with utility sink and folding area complete the upper level. The entry level opens up even more possibilities, offering two more bedrooms and a full bath-creating a flexible space for guests, a recreation zone, or even a private suite setup. From the expansive wraparound deck to the private dock, you'll enjoy front-row seats to the serene waterscape and direct access to Jefferson Creek, the Assawoman Bay, and even the Atlantic Ocean beyond. Two outdoor showers are ready to rinse off after days spent on the boat or lounging by the beach, and an extended oversized storage area is perfect for all your beach gear, tools, and boating accessories. Whether you're seeking a coastal family compound or a waterfront investment property with excellent rental potential, 163 Petherton Drive delivers space, scenery, and a rare lifestyle opportunity. While some finishes offer an opportunity to personalize and elevate, the location, layout, and waterfront access are simply unmatched. Schedule your private tour today, or better yet, come by water and dock at the front door of your new South Bethany getaway.
