Inside, the home opens to a light-filled great room with a wood-burning fireplace, hardwood floors, and expansive canal views.

A lower-level bonus room or office with full bath adds flexibility. Outdoor living shines with expansive canalfront entertaining areas, a fire pit, exterior speakers, and a private dock with a 10,000-lb. boat lift. With ample parking, quality construction, and a prime location just steps from the State Park, 138 Bayshore Drive delivers the very best of South Bethany canalfront living.
