Description
Tucked within the quiet Banks Harbor Marina community, just 4 miles from the Bethany Beach boardwalk, this classic Cape Cod blends timeless craftsmanship with thoughtful updates and a garden that feels like a private retreat. Lovingly maintained and solidly built, the home offers a warm, traditional layout — with an inviting living room, a sunny den or sunroom with French-style windows, and a well-designed kitchen refreshed with newer cabinets, granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, and stainless steel appliances. A convenient washer and dryer closet sits right in the kitchen for everyday ease. There’s an owner’s bedroom and full bath on the first floor, along with a second bedroom nearby. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms feature the charming character of dormer windows and angled ceilings, plus another full bath. Beautiful luxury vinyl plank flooring and quality Advantech subflooring speak to the care invested here, as do the updated windows, doors, and tile finishes. Step outside and you’ll find the true soul of this property — a beautifully landscaped yard with a deck, outdoor shower, screened gazebo, and winding flagstone paths leading to peaceful sitting areas under the trees. It’s a space made for simple pleasures: morning coffee, a good book, or evenings around a firepit (not included). An irrigation system and well water make caring for this lush landscape easy and affordable. The detached garage is ideal for motorcycles, golf carts, or a workshop, and the long driveway offers plenty of space for guests, RVs, or boats — with no community restrictions to worry about. A marina and boat ramp are right in the neighborhood, and grocery stores and conveniences are just a short drive away. With its enduring quality, relaxed character, and beautifully curated gardens, this home has been cherished — and it shows in every detail.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
