Welcome to a one-of-a-kind opportunity in the peaceful and picturesque community of South Bowers, Delaware, where time slows down and generational memories are made. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle, this waterfront property offers not just one, but two distinct homes, providing endless possibilities for your dream coastal retreat. The main house is a blank canvas ready for your imagination. With renovations started but not yet complete, it offers the potential for up to three bedrooms, tailored to your needs. A one-car garage provides convenience, while the expansive wood deck is the true showstopper — leading you out to a private dock with a covered porch, perfect for fishing, boating, or simply soaking in the tranquility of the water. Whether you envision a modern coastal escape or a cozy beach bungalow, this home is your chance to bring your vision to life. Adjoining to the main house is a vintage cottage that feels like stepping into a time capsule. Full of mid-century charm and character, it’s a perfect candidate for a guest house, vacation rental, or even your primary residence. The charm is undeniable, and with a little love, it could be a showstopper in its own right. Whether you're looking for a personal getaway, a multi-generational retreat, or an income-producing property, this diamond in the rough offers a rare chance to own a piece of peaceful paradise in South Bowers. Come see the potential for yourself!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
