About the Listing KWBCH01 - 3256946

Welcome to 986 Turtle Drive, an elegant coastal retreat nestled near the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Turtle Walk community, within the town limits of Bethany Beach. Ideally positioned just 1.4 miles from the Bethany Beach Boardwalk, this beautifully appointed residence pairs effortless access to the coast with a private, serene setting — including free trolley service to and from downtown Bethany, plus an included Bethany Beach parking permit. Backing directly to the Assawoman Canal, with mature trees lining the property, the home offers a picturesque natural backdrop and direct water access for kayaking or paddleboarding — all just minutes from the beach, with no HOA. Step inside to a light-filled interior where hardwood flooring, refined millwork, and timeless architectural details create an inviting sense of understated luxury. Just off the foyer, French doors open to a private home office, offering the flexibility to serve as an additional guest space when desired. The adjoining dining room is accented by classic beadboard wainscoting and flows seamlessly into the well-appointed kitchen. Designed for both everyday living and entertaining, the kitchen features stainless steel appliances, a generous center island, gas cooktop, recessed lighting, pantry storage, and direct access to the screened porch. The kitchen opens to the dramatic living room, where a soaring ceiling, fireplace, custom built-in shelving, wainscoting accents, and crown molding create an impressive yet comfortable gathering space. A main-level bedroom and full bath offer exceptional flexibility for overnight guests or multi-generational living, while abundant storage and convenient interior access to the two-car, side-load garage enhance the home’s thoughtful design. Upstairs, an open landing overlooks the living room below, showcasing the home’s airy architecture and sense of scale. The primary suite is a private retreat, complete with decorative wainscoting, a private rear deck, and an ensuite bath featuring a walk-in closet, soaking tub, separate stall shower, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms, two full baths, and a dedicated laundry room complete the upper level. The home’s inviting atmosphere continues outdoors, where multiple spaces encourage you to embrace the relaxed coastal lifestyle. Unwind on the screened porch off the kitchen, which leads out to the rear deck, outdoor shower, and private backyard — or simply enjoy the peaceful, tree-lined surroundings with the canal beyond.
