Beach-cottage charm on Bethany Dr.! Tucked off quiet 1-lane no-thru option street is this sunshine-yellow siding exterior 3/4 BR/2bath home edged with ocean-blue shutters and framed by white-railed covered front porch that borders scenic canal and is enveloped in peaceful nature. Delightful curb appeal invites all to step inside to soothing seafoam green-painted interior with extra-large ceramic-tile floored hallway. Just off hall is spacious BR with light, polished hardwood floors, marina-colored blue paint and roomy 2-door closet. Steps beyond is 1st-level full bath with ceramic-tile floor, bump-out circular cherry vanity and aqua-marine paint. Great for easy showering after day-long beach time! Floor plan opens up to all-natural light, seemingly endless airiness and triangle of space, all interconnected. Updated kitchen features gorgeous new-trend gray cabinets that are finished with blend of black, gray and white granite countertops. SS appliances blend perfectly with cabinet color, and curved center island does dual service with additional 2-stool seating and multiple cabinets. Open shelving, perfect for adding splash of color and whimsical beach d cor, flanks sink and window. Countertop juts out, effectively joining kitchen to living space and offers bonus-bar seating bordering DR. Just off kitchen is sizable, conveniently-located tile-floored laundry room. Kitchen is seamlessly open to DR just beyond and FR adjacent, making already roomy main space even larger and brighter! Ceramic-tile floor subtly shifts to hardwoods and vaulted ceiling DR/FR blend encompasses back of this beach-themed home. 2 skylights paired with 2 ceiling fans provide all-day natural light and a never-ending cool breeze. Roomy DR has dual window on back wall, offering clear views to canal beyond, and FR features beach-inspired ambiance and abundant space for collection of comfortable furnishings. Glass sliding doors with built-in interior shades grace back wall, while exposed all-hardwood turned staircase hugs the wall leading to upper level, which touts circular floor plan and was designed to cleverly maximize space. Light hardwood-floored BR in deep turquoise paint boasts walk-in closet and dual ladder that grants access to upper loft sleeping area with dual transom-type windows with views to water and overlook to FR. Pocket door from this BR leads to Jack-and-Jill aqua-marine painted full bath with ceramic tile floor, cherry vanity with bump-out basin and tub/shower combination. 2nd set of pocket doors leads to another hardwood-floor BR with angled ceiling and white-washed ceiling fan. Rounding out upper level is delightful sitting/reading/computer area with -wall overlook to main space below. Generous screened-in porch with ceiling fan to help keep the heat of the rays at bay sits off back of home with ample space for set of wicker furniture and dining set, making this the valued venue where one can easily escape to relax and recharge. Beautiful panoramic view of canal, just steps away, is crowning jewel to an already-amazing alcove of serenity! Steps lead down to both back yard and access to canal, and where all can take advantage of outdoor shower. Enjoy the day kayaking or canoeing, take a ride to nearby beach or shops, and enjoy waterway views and calming pace of life. This conveniently-compact, chock full-of-charm cottage is a favorite in Frankford!
