Property description
Located in the heart of the historical district of Ocean View, DE, this sun-filled 3/4 acre lot is awaiting a new owner to build their dream home with plenty of space for any amenity imaginable such as a private pool, expansive garden or detached garage for your favorite hobby. Central Avenue was the main street within the 500 acre plantation of “Middlesex” dating back to 1688. This property rests across the street from the Historic Village of the “Tunnel-West” property which contains the “John West Park” on 39 Central Avenue. Also surrounding this beautiful lot is the Evans West House Museum of 1901 and the 1st free standing Post Office of 1889. The history rich town of Ocean View was incorporated in 1889 and now this village is lined with vibrant colored homes and depicts one of the finest coastal communities in the Mid-Atlantic. 44 Central Avenue is also steps from the Assawoman Canal and Canal Trails, Bocce Ball Courts and close to the James Farm and Bethany Tennis Club with 8 Har-Tru courts and the Big Fish Grill. Quite literally, this property is centrally located just minutes to shopping, dining, entertainment, the Indian River Bay and Bethany Beach! 44 Central Avenue is the perfect lot offering a tranquil setting with flowering trees and a new place to call home within a town that values quality of life. Cottage, shed and lot are being sold in as-in condition as this property is listed for lot value.
