Introducing 3 West Farmington St., a Waterfront Coastal Retreat in Fenwick Island. Nestled just a short stroll from the pristine Atlantic beaches and situated along a serene canal on the bayside, 3 West Farmington St. is the epitome of coastal living in the vibrant community of Fenwick Island, Delaware. From the front, this home’s charming cottage-style façade may seem unassuming, but step inside and you’ll discover a spacious, thoughtfully designed interior perfect for entertaining and hosting family and friends, and spacious enough for larger party rentals. The welcoming front living room flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, a culinary haven featuring butcher block countertops, sleek white cabinetry with bold black hardware, and stainless-steel appliances. The cozy breakfast bar is ideal for casual mornings before heading to the beach. This end of the home also includes two uniquely styled guest bedrooms and a hall bathroom with all the essentials to make visitors feel at home. Beyond the kitchen, the main gathering spaces await. A generous dining area offers direct access to the expansive outdoor decks, while the adjoining living room invites you to relax, watch a movie, or engage in a game night with loved ones. The home’s layout continues with another guest bedroom, two well-appointed bathrooms, and a second guest bedroom with its own powder bath. Step through the atrium and sliding glass doors to your own private fenced-in paradise. The elevated deck offers multiple zones for lounging, dining, or simply enjoying cocktails while the bay breezes sweep through. As a true waterfront gem, the property also boasts a private 24-foot dock, granting easy access to the bay for boating adventures and beyond. After a day on the water, rinse off in the outdoor shower, then gather with family and friends on the deck to savor the stunning sunsets—reminding yourself why this waterfront retreat is the perfect escape. The main home was built in 1979 while the rear was built in 2002.
