About this home

Welcome to 5 Kewanee Street, an exceptional coastal retreat ideally positioned just three homes from the beach in sought-after South Bethany. Offering the quintessential beach lifestyle with the Atlantic Ocean only steps away, this spacious five-bedroom home combines an enviable ocean-block location with generous living spaces, multiple outdoor areas, and the convenience of an elevator. From the moment you arrive, the home's classic coastal architecture and inviting curb appeal set the tone. Inside, a bright and airy floor plan is filled with natural light and designed for effortless beach living and entertaining. Take the stairs or elevator between levels and discover a spacious living room highlighted by a soaring vaulted ceiling, creating an impressive sense of openness while maintaining the relaxed atmosphere of a coastal retreat. At the heart of the home is a well-appointed kitchen featuring abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large center island, and stainless steel appliances, including a Sub-Zero refrigerator. Whether preparing a casual lunch after a morning on the beach or entertaining a house full of family and friends, the kitchen flows naturally into the surrounding living and dining spaces. A Generac whole-house generator provides added peace of mind. Outdoor living is an essential part of life at the beach, and 5 Kewanee delivers with spacious decks ideal for morning coffee, afternoon relaxation, and evening cocktails in the ocean breeze. Upper-level ocean views provide a wonderful reminder of just how close the water truly is. The home offers five bedrooms, providing plenty of accommodations for family and guests. The spacious primary suite serves as a private retreat with an en-suite bath and walk-in closet, while the additional bedrooms offer comfortable spaces for extended family and weekend visitors. And then there is the location. With the beach just a few doors away, spontaneous mornings on the sand, evening walks along the shoreline, and days spent swimming in the Atlantic become part of everyday life. Bethany Beach's shops, restaurants, boardwalk, and entertainment are also within easy reach, while the quieter setting of South Bethany offers a welcome escape from the crowds. Whether envisioned as a cherished family beach house, a year-round coastal residence, or an investment property, 5 Kewanee Street presents a rare opportunity to own an ocean-block home just three homes from the beach in one of Delaware's most desirable coastal communities.
