Property Description

Welcome to this well-maintained townhouse in the highly sought-after Mallard Lakes community—just 2.5 miles from the Atlantic Ocean! Perfectly positioned to embrace the relaxed beach-town lifestyle, this home offers peaceful lakefront living with beautiful views of the second lake and its sparkling fountain. Enjoy a quiet morning coffee or evening glass of wine on your private patio or year-round in the enclosed sunroom both overlooking the water and surrounded by coastal charm. This two-bedroom, one-and-a-half-bath home has never been rented and is being sold mostly furnished, making it a truly turnkey opportunity. The front entrance includes an outdoor shower and a spacious storage area—ideal for sandy beach gear after a day by the ocean. Inside, the first floor features luxury vinyl plank flooring, smooth ceilings, and a neutral palette that creates a clean, modern feel. The kitchen includes a breakfast bar and opens to a cozy dining area with a nautical light fixture. A convenient powder room and a brand-new (2025) stacking washer and dryer are also located on the main level. The inviting family room boasts a wood-burning fireplace with an electric insert, offering instant ambiance at the flip of a switch. Upstairs, you’ll find two spacious, carpeted bedrooms with ample closet space. All upstairs furniture is included, so you can move right in and start enjoying your new coastal retreat. The full bath offers a soaking tub, double sinks, and a skylight that fills the room with natural light. Mallard Lakes is a vibrant, amenity-rich community with a low HOA fee that includes two swimming pools, a hot tub, pickleball and tennis courts, basketball and volleyball areas, tot lots, a fishing pier, picnic areas, and even a kayak ramp for paddling or fishing in the lake. Fountains accent multiple ponds throughout the community, and direct access to Route 54 with a traffic light makes coming and going easy. You'll be within walking distance of restaurants and just minutes from Fenwick Island, Ocean City, and Bethany Beach. All this for under $350,000! Showings begin August 6—don’t miss your chance to own this peaceful, move-in-ready beach escape. Schedule your appointment today!
