Exceptional Coastal Retreat in The Salt Pond Community. Welcome to 305 Walkabout, a meticulously maintained, custom-built 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath home perfectly positioned pondfront in the highly sought-after community of The Salt Pond in Bethany Beach. The home's wonderful location within the Salt Pond is central to the clubhouse, amenities, and the Birdies Snack Bar – Simply Perfect! Designed for effortless living and entertaining, this exceptional property offers thoughtful updates throughout and the convenience of a private elevator to all levels. This lovely home is ready for you to move right in and start living your best life at the beach! Blending contemporary coastal style with bright, open spaces, the main floor features an inviting covered entry that leads to a gracious foyer and a spectacular great room crowned by a soaring two-story vaulted ceiling, anchored by a handsome gas fireplace. Refinished and richly stained hardwood floors (2020) extend through the open-concept kitchen and living areas, complemented by fresh interior paint (2021). The gourmet kitchen is fully equipped for culinary inspiration with abundant granite counters, crisp 42” white shaker cabinetry, a generous peninsula breakfast bar, and recently updated appliances including a new refrigerator (2024), dishwasher (2023), garbage disposal (2022), and a Speed Queen washer and dryer (2022). Adjacent to the dining area, a cozy bonus room wrapped in tranquil pond and treetop views provides the perfect spot to relax or entertain. From here, step out onto the updated main-level TimberTech deck (2024) overlooking a fully fenced, private backyard with three gates (2020), an irrigation system, and lush landscaping refreshed in 2021. The spacious yard offers plenty of room to create your ideal outdoor oasis, from an extended patio to an outdoor kitchen. Back inside, the formal living room off the foyer invites coffee, cocktails, and conversation. A spacious bedroom with walk-in closet, a generous hall bath with walk-in shower, a convenient half bath, laundry area, and interior access to the oversized two-car garage complete the thoughtfully designed main level. Upstairs, retreat to the large primary suite, a true sanctuary with a serene sitting area, walk-in closet, oversized storage room, and a beautifully appointed 5-piece bath featuring a soaking tub, dual-sink vanity, and glass stall shower. The suite offers direct access to the private upper TimberTech deck (2023), a peaceful spot to enjoy morning coffee while watching Delaware’s wildlife. Additional updates elevate this retreat, including new plantation shutters, crown molding, and trim (2020). Two additional bedrooms are each uniquely appointed and share a spacious hall bath. Recent improvements ensure peace of mind, with two new HVAC systems (2020), a fully encapsulated crawlspace with sump pump (2020), and a new front Walpole lamp post (2021). Beyond your doorstep, The Salt Pond community surrounds you with resort-style amenities just a short stroll away, an 18-hole executive golf course, indoor and outdoor pools, a toddler pool, tennis and pickleball courts, a clubhouse, playground, shuffleboard, and beach access for kayaks and canoes. All of this is minutes from the Atlantic coast beaches, the Bethany Beach boardwalk, boutique shopping, and vibrant dining.
