Salt Pond home in golf community with pools, tennis, & pickleball - near beach Get ready to love this cozy, one-story home, located in a beautiful community with an 18-hole, par-61 golf course and only about three miles from the beach. Salt Pond's many amenities are a short walk from the house and include a community center with indoor and outdoor swimming pools and a hot tub (depending on the season), a fitness center, tennis, pickleball, basketball, sandlot volleyball, and more. Nearby is a launching area for small boats to access the Salt Pond and the network of canals that connect to the neighboring inlets and eventually to the ocean. Take a stroll along the tree-lined streets in the community or hike/bike/run along the nearby trails. The golf pro shop and grocery store are an easy five-minute walk, and the Delaware Seashore State Park is a five-minute drive. The house is spacious throughout, with hardwood floors. The family room has vaulted ceilings and plenty of seating space under the fan. Relax watching cable TV or pop a movie into the DVD player on either of the two TVs. If you prefer to entertain elsewhere, the three-season porch offers a pleasant seating space for lively discussions or reading under the fan. The backyard has a patio with a gas grill and plenty of room for the kids to run and play. Remote workers will appreciate the desk area in the living room and free WiFi. All of the bedrooms have fans and also mini lights over the beds to allow for easy reading. The master bedroom has a private bathroom, while the two other bedrooms share a bathroom.

With early-day sun and a pleasant view of trees and the cul-de-sac, the kitchen is a nice place to be, whether you’re preparing or enjoying a meal.
