Property Description
JUST REDUCED!
Own a piece of Delaware History!!
This very unique bay front property sits upon the equivalent of 2 Bayfront lots and was originally part of the Slaughter Beach Hotel dating back to the late 1800's. The current owners ancestors bought this property 100 years ago and have enjoyed it through many generations! The large parcel includes 1.26 acres on the Delaware Bay with 175.78 feet of direct beach frontage.
The home/hotel was completely renovated, by relocating, stripping the interior and elevating it onto pilings to have a better Bay View. The former hotel was stripped down to the studs and completely rebuilt, leaving as many original features of the structure as possible (see the attached history) . It now stands 3.5 stories tall and includes, an elevator providing access to the first 3 floors, wrap around deck, living area off the kitchen, open floor plan with panoramic Delaware Bay views from each side of the home! The ground floor includes 2 living spaces as well as a second kitchen with a full bath and sauna, laundry, storage, whole house generator and new HVAC. The 2nd floor is the primary living, dining and kitchen area with a full bath. The 3rd floor provides 3 bedrooms - 2 of which have direct bay views and the 4th floor (former attic) boasts a open beam bay front loft bedroom with a private sun deck overlooking the Bay. The oversized climate controlled, detached garage with a finished office space and potential 2-story dwelling area provides extra conditioned living area and massive storage.
The home was painted in early June, the elevator and whole house generator serviced and, every window in the home has been recently replaced with A-Series Anderson windows! The heating and cooling systems in both home and garage have been recently replaced and upgraded, as well. Bathroom fixtures are also new!
Slaughter Beach is incorporated as a town with their own fire department, beach pavilion, recreational park including tennis/pickleball courts, basketball courts, playground equipment and over sized public parking area. The Cedar Creek marina at the North end of town provides indoor boat storage, marine services and easy boating access to the Delaware Bay through the Mispillion Inlet,. The DuPont Nature Center and public boat ramp are located across the Cedar Creek Bridge to the North.
