Property Description

Step back in time with this enchanting 100+ year old bungalow, rich in history and brimming with character. Nestled just one lot off the beautiful sands of Broadkill Beach, this modest cottage offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local heritage. The original Hearn family was built in the late 1880s. The house as it stands today was cleverly reconstructed in the early 1920s using salvaged remnants of the original home after storm damage. In the 1930s, dormers were added, creating a the dorm-style bedroom on the second floor. The first floor is comprised of a small kitchen with built-in storage, a half bathroom, and a living room that can double as an additional sleeping space. The "Captain's Quarters," or bedroom #1, also opens to the lovely wraparound porch providing the perfect spot to enjoy the saltwater breezes and scenery. This prime location offers not only a glimpse into the past but also the potential for future memories. Whether you choose to preserve the bungalow's nostalgic charm or rebuild to suit your vision, this property is a rare gem in a sought-after location. Embrace the opportunity to create new stories and experiences in this beloved beachside home. Check out the uploads for a picture history of the Hearn home.
