A Canalfront Retreat in South Bethan 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 façade 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.
