Description
Ocean block home in the coveted area of Rehoboth Beach known as The Pines. A rare offering, this home is located on one of the most picturesque and certainly one of the widest streets in all of Rehoboth. Most homes lining this street have the charm of "Old Rehoboth", each one unique, beautifully maintained and updated. You'll find inviting front porches; picket fences; cedar shakes; flags flying; hydrangeas and roses - reminiscent of a time gone by, desirable and welcoming. And perhaps most enticing,...Ocean block home in the coveted area of Rehoboth Beach known as The Pines. A rare offering, this home is located on one of the most picturesque and certainly one of the widest streets in all of Rehoboth. Most homes lining this street have the charm of "Old Rehoboth", each one unique, beautifully maintained and updated. You'll find inviting front porches; picket fences; cedar shakes; flags flying; hydrangeas and roses - reminiscent of a time gone by, desirable and welcoming. And perhaps most enticing, its location, steps from the Atlantic. Hear the ocean from every one of the homes on this block. This home, parts of which date to 1933 has an interior charm of a home of that era, although has undergone additions and updates in years since. Rarely occupied in recent years, 25 Pennsylvania offers buyers two different opportunities, depending on individual desires. If you are someone who is captivated by cottage charm , with smaller, defined living spaces; bead-board ceilings; built in bookcases; a wood burning fireplace for chilly nights, you may want to keep this home just as it is, sprucing up the exterior that needs to be refreshed. The front screened porch is where you will feel the ocean breezes and hear those ocean waves, a sound that never gets old. The spacious rear screened porch is framed by an extraordinary mature magnolia and pine, as well as other trees, providing shade and privacy. There is a small primary bedroom on the first floor with full bath. Bookcases flank the fireplace in the front sitting room. Bead-board lines the ceiling. A large cottage kitchen eating area was added to the home in 1992. Imagine hosting large gatherings of family and friends here, spilling out onto the inviting rear screened porch. Upstairs you'll find 3 additional bedrooms, two small and one very large with sitting area. The upstairs bedrooms share a full bath with tub/shower combination. At the top of the stairs you'll find a real treat as you exit onto a large second story composite deck overlooking the back yard. Eat lunch, read a book, sunbathe or take a nap- it feels as if you're in a tree house. A long driveway allows for ample parking for at least 3 cars. Additionally, there is a large out building for storage of bikes, beach toys and more. Attached is a large outdoor shower. An alternative, at this price, if you are dreaming of a new, modern home this is your chance to make that dream come true. Out with the old and in with the new on this 50' by 100' foot lot, a rare opportunity in the ocean block. You decide, but either way, you won't be sorry. Pennsylvania Avenue is the last street beyond the north end of the boardwalk that is lifeguarded in the summer, being adjacent to state park lands. Enjoy its proximity to the boardwalk, shops, restaurants and all Rehoboth has to offer as well as Gordon's Pond at the Henlopen State Park and the Breakwater Junction Bike Trail, with stunning views over glades leading to Lewes and beyond. Home is being sold in "AS IS" condition.
