Rare Waterfront Gem in Bethany Beach – A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own an exceptional piece of coastal paradise in the highly desirable Bayview Park community. Offered for the first time, this charming single-family home spans two lots, providing unparalleled panoramic bay views with the Ocean City and Fenwick Island skylines in the distance. Nestled amidst protected lands, this property combines privacy with proximity to the beach—just a short walk away.
