About this home

Opportunities to own directly on the bay in Fenwick Island are few and far between. Even more difficult to find is a property that combines direct bayfront living, a private boat dock, and the ability to walk to the beach, all within one of Delaware's most sought-after coastal communities. Welcome to 1502 Bay Street. Positioned along the waterfront on the north end of Fenwick Island, this custom-built home offers something that cannot be recreated simply by building a beautiful house: its location and the lifestyle that comes with it. Imagine spending your mornings on the water, afternoons at the beach, and evenings watching the sun set across the bay from your own deck. Built in 2012 by Hugh H. Hickman & Sons, the home has been meticulously maintained by its original owners and offers 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, a half bath & multiple indoor and outdoor living spaces thoughtfully arranged to take advantage of the waterfront setting. Unlike a traditional floor plan, the main living area is positioned on the upper level, where expansive windows bring the bay into view throughout the kitchen, dining, and living spaces. The open layout creates a natural gathering place for family and friends, while multiple decks extend the living space outdoors. The kitchen features a large center island, generous cabinetry, and plenty of room for entertaining. A primary suite and two additional bedrooms complete this level. The lower level offers additional flexibility with a second primary suite, a separate living area, and convenient access to the outdoor spaces. Whether accommodating extended family, overnight guests, or multiple generations enjoying time together, the layout provides room for everyone to have their own space. Outside is where the property truly distinguishes itself. A private dock puts boating, fishing, crabbing, and exploring the surrounding waterways just steps from your door. Multiple decks, a screened porch, an outdoor shower, and low-maintenance landscaping make it easy to spend more time enjoying the coast and less time maintaining it. Additional features include a spacious garage, an elevator shaft designed for future installation, owned solar panels, and a home that has been cared for with exceptional attention to detail. Fenwick Island has long been appreciated for its small-town coastal atmosphere, beautiful beaches, local restaurants, and convenient access to both Delaware and Ocean City. From this location, you can enjoy the best of both the bay and the beach without having to choose between them. At $2,995,000, 1502 Bay Street represents an opportunity to own a direct bayfront home in a location where properties like this seldom become available. More than a place to spend the summer, it's a place to make memories for years to come
