11 SWEDES ST Dewey Beach, DE 19971

This beautiful authentic beach cottage is a rare find in the ocean block of Dewey Beach. It's the fifth house from the beach -- and that means the ocean is only a few steps from your front door! Ocean block living means gentle surf sounds, short trips back and forth from the beach and the convenience of not having a street or highway to cross when it's time to hit the beach or return home. The welcoming front porch with flower boxes and jalousie windows is the perfect spot for morning coffee or afternoon tea. 1st floor features an inviting living room and dining room with original features, full bath with claw tub, bedroom, kitchen and laundry room (with rear entrance door to the back yard). 2nd floor offers three bedrooms, a half bath, game/office/craft room and pull-down stairs to the attic. The 1-car garage (12' x 23') has a work bench, shelving and loft area. There is also a separate storage shed for beach chairs and gardening supplies. Two frost-proof outside showers are easily accessible and can be used year-round, just steps to the rear door of the home. Fenced-in back yard is perfect for gatherings and offers a paved area for grilling, as well as a separate decking area for outdoor seating. Landscaped rear, side and front yard offers many years of plantings for the new owners to enjoy. This home is being sold furnished, with some personal exclusions. Great rental potential. Settlement cannot occur prior to February 15, 2021.
