Delaware Waterfront Homes for Sale

Delaware

Delaware is located in the northeastern portion of the Delmarva Peninsula and is just 96 miles long. It ranges from 9 miles to 35 miles across, totaling 1,954 square miles. That makes Delaware the second smallest state after Rhode Island. Estimates rank the population of Delaware as 45th in the nation, but 6th in population density, with more than 60% of the population in New Castle County. Delaware is divided into three counties. While the southern two counties (Kent County and Sussex) have historically been predominantly agricultural, New Castle County has been more industrialized.

The State ranks second in civilian scientists and engineers as a percentage of the workforce and number of patents issued to companies or individuals per 1,000 workers. The history of the State's economic and industrial development is closely tied to the impact of the DuPont family, founders of the DuPont Corporation, one of the world’s largest chemical companies.

Delaware also grows a great variety of fruits and vegetables and is a U.S. pioneer in the food-canning industry. Corn, soybeans, potatoes and hay are important crops. Delaware's broiler chicken farms supply the big Eastern markets, and fishing and dairy products are other important industries.

Delaware was one of the 13 colonies participating in the American Revolution and on December 7, 1787, it became the first state to ratify the Constitution of the United States, thereby becoming known as “The First State”.

Since almost all of Delaware is a part of the Atlantic Coastal Plain, the effects of the ocean moderate its climate.

Delaware has 14 state parks with over 20,000 acres.

Bethany Beach Treasure

Bethany Beach, Sussex County, Delaware


Step into 2 Connor Lane, where luxury and genteel living from another time still can be found. This is the most private home in Bethany Beach, yet just a short walk to the beach, boardwalk and shops in town. Originally constructed in 1959 from the finest materials as a large custom rambler, this home was relocated and renovated in 1990 to its present location, where it sits on three town lots right on the water on the Bethany Loop Canal. This beautiful and unique property is available for the first time in over 50 years, having been the family home for a prominent local Bethany Beach family since 1970. The home is situated right on the water's edge on the quiet and peaceful Loop Canal, providing a view and ambience that exists nowhere else. It is one of only a few homes that directly abut the Loop Canal, and is by far the largest and closest to the water of any. The location of the foundation and the lot coverage ratio would not be allowed under current regulations, and thus this home is literally incomparable to any other property in Bethany Beach. Originally custom built for personal comfort and for entertaining, this 5-bedroom, 3-full bath haven is designed to accommodate all your relaxation and entertainment needs. The two very large common spaces in the main part of the home offer plenty of room to relax, gather and entertain guests. Beautiful old growth cherry hardwood floors adorn the main areas of the home. Adding to the uniqueness of this property is a gigantic 5 bay garage, offering a massive amount of storage and parking. The primary suite, complete with a large sitting room facing the waterfront, provides a serene, private oasis for you to unwind after a day of enjoying the sun and sand. The large upper deck provides plenty of opportunity to enjoy your view while enjoying the sea breeze. Positioned on the desirable East side of Route 1, you are just 2 blocks from the famed Bethany Beach boardwalk, pristine beaches, delectable restaurants, and charming boutique shopping. Tucked away in a quiet cul-de-sac of homes, this property offers both tranquility and accessibility—an ideal combination. What's more, this canal front home presents an excellent rental potential, making it an attractive investment opportunity. Whether you're seeking a year-round residence, a vacation getaway, or an income-generating property, this home has it all. This is your chance to obtain an absolutely unique and incomparable Bethany home. Don't miss this life changing opportunity to lock in a luxury Bethany Beach lifestyle for your family's next 50 years.
