Did you know that the perfect time to buy a beach house is actually in the winter?
It's because there is so much less competition. Because let's be honest, you're not really
thinking about buying a beach house unless we hit the summer and then all of a sudden you're like,
it would have been nice to have a beach house. So this is why I say it is the perfect time to buy
a beach house in the winter. And today I'm going to show you three homes that are all listed in
Dagsboro, Delaware. Hello everyone. Welcome back to my channel. If you are new here, I'm Jen,
your Delaware realtor. If you're interested in buying or selling in Delaware, my information
is down below in the description, but I really just want to get right on into it because you
do not want to miss these homes. And like I said, these are all listed in Dagsboro, Delaware.
If you are not familiar where Dagsboro is, it is actually on the other side of Bethany. So you
will go through Rehoboth. I mean, you'll go through Lewis and Rehoboth, and then you'll
go through Dewey and then you go over the bridge, go through Bethany, and then you will hit
Dagsboro. And Dagsboro is right next to many bodies of water. There's a lot of properties
that have water access. And what I like about Dagsboro is that it's kind of like a mixture of
old and new. So we have some older homes on the list here today, and then we have some new homes.
So let's take a look at what we got. All right. So the first one is listed for $475,000. It is
a three-bedroom, two-bath. It is 1,727 square feet. It does not have a basement, and it was
built in 2018. The HOA fee is $510 quarterly, and that includes common areas, the health club,
pier dock maintenance, snow removal, a boat slip, community center, the marina, outdoor pool,
and water and lake privileges. This one was built by Insight. If you are not familiar with Insight,
they pride themselves on being very, very energy efficient, their homes are.
Okay. So let's take a look at what it looks like on the inside. All right. So first thing I'm
seeing is we have a two-car garage. The front door sits back slightly. We do not really have
a front porch. It does have a fenced-in backyard, and it looks like we have an outdoor shower right
here. This is a spot for your trash cans. We have kind of like a white picket fence, essentially.
You do have access to the outdoor shower from the backyard. Looks like it's going to have a
little bit of a sunroom with a slider. It's really like a blank slate back here. So if you wanted
to add a patio or add a gazebo or add a small deck or something coming off of the slider,
like I said, it does have water access. If you do have a boat, bring your boat.
If you have a small boat, there is a boat ramp. Or if you want to go kayaking or
paddle boats, I mean, you can really do anything here. All right. So coming into the foyer,
we do have hardwood floors, which then goes off to carpet. The front bedroom does have carpet.
It looks like that is a queen-size bed, if not a full-size bed. Plenty of room on each side.
I really like the colors. It's very neutral so that you could bring your own pops of color or
you could paint it yourself. And then this kind of gives you an idea of what the room looks like.
It does not look like we have a ceiling fan or a rough-in for a ceiling fan. So your light switch
will control an outlet. So you will need lamps in this room. We have the hall bath. Does have a tub,
I'm assuming, behind here. And then we have one sink. The front bedroom, they're using as
like almost like a sitting room, but they have a daybed in here. So it also has carpet. Once again,
same thing. Does not have a ceiling fan, but the outlet will control the lamp. Double door closets.
Then we have the primary bathroom, double sink. I think they just by accident put this out of order.
You have the laundry room. You could take this down, add some cabinets, but you do have some
shelving right here for additional storage. The primary bedroom, this is definitely a king-size
bed. I personally would move this down slightly so you're not right up against this. But if you
have a longer dresser, it's going to have plenty of room. And this one does have a ceiling fan.
Maybe it was just the angle of that one, but it does look like this is a little bit on top of that.
Then you could put your longer dresser here. You could hang your TV. Good amount of natural
light coming. And then your primary is in the back of the house. So just know that you face
the backyard. And then you also could set this up differently. You may be able to put your bed here
up against like in between the windows.
Once again, blank slate. This is the other half of the primary bathroom. Like I said, two sinks.
You have a shower. It does have two benches and then glass doors. You could always switch
this out for a rain shower head. And then coming into the living room, you have carpet and it
looks like tile in the kitchen. I can't really tell from this angle,
but we do have a ceiling fan in the living room. It does have recessed lights and it looks like
pendant lights over top of the island. This is another angle of the family room. Two big windows.
Once again, blank slate. It is carpeted. You could always add an area rug on top. I really
like how they have their furniture set up. This is basically how I would do it,
although I would hang the TV. And then we have the kitchen has granite countertops,
black appliances. It does have the microwave over the stove. It looks like it is a gas stove.
And then we have the sink in the island. It does have an overhang where you can have
two barstools. You have an eating kitchen right next to the kitchen area. Crown molding on the
cabinets. A really good, decent amount of space of countertops. So you could do a coffee bar
right here. You could still prepare your food here. Prepare your food here. You do have a pantry.
The dishwasher is in the island and then you do have an outlet in the island as well. So if you
are like, say you're using your Ninja to like make a protein shake, you can always put it right here
and plug it in. Then we do have a sunroom off of the eating kitchen area. It does have recessed
in the kitchen and then a ceiling fan in the, I'm going to call it a sunroom. It could be a
morning room. I mean, it's really, it's just additional living space, which is great. And
then you have a lot of windows. So you have a lot of natural light. As you can see the difference
right here, big sliding door. And then this gives you a top down view. So it looks like you're the
only one that has the fenced in yard, but you do back up to a farmland. Now I can't for sure say
that that's not going to be built at some, like, you know, have houses on it at some point, but
for right now you do build, you are backing up to a little bit of privacy. And that gives you an
idea of where you are on the street. You're kind of like almost to the bend. Yeah. So you're here
and there's like a cul-de-sac right here. And then this is the clubhouse, the outdoor pool.
That would be so nice. Look at that view. So when you're hanging out at the pool in the summer,
you have a nice view. You have a fitness center, so you don't have to worry about going to Planet
Fitness or Club Fitness or anything else like that. And then you could always hang out at the
clubhouse, gather with some friends. You could play some cards, have game night. And then that
gives you an idea of what it looks like. All right. Perfect. Like I said, that one is listed
for $475,000. It is a three bedroom, two bath. It is 1,727 square feet built in 2018. All right.
So the next one is listed for 400,000. It is a three bedroom, two bath. It is 1,620 square feet
built in 1991. This one does have a basement and it does look like it has an HOA fee of $120
annually. And it has a one-time capital contribution fee of $250.
The HOA fee includes common areas, peer dock maintenance, basketball courts, common grounds,
picnic area, dock, pier, playground, and water lake privileges. So this one also
looks like it has some water access. This one sits on 0.3 acres and this one says FHA financing
welcomed. The FHA appraisal came in at $420,000 with no repairs needed. All right. So this one
reminds me kind of like a split level. We're going to see inside, but we're going to, you know,
you know how Delaware loves their split levels. So if you are someone that maybe does not like
stairs or can't do the stairs, I would say this house is actually not for you because it does
have a good amount of stairs coming up to the front door. So we have brick stairs coming up
to the front door. Now it does have a little bit of an overhang here, so you're not going to get
rained on and you're not going to have water just kind of smacking into your front door.
You do have a garage on the bottom level. It looks like an oversized one-car garage,
but I could just totally be wrong and it could actually be a two-car garage. But right now,
to me, it's giving me vibes of a one-car garage. This is your view. So you are right on the water.
Now this one probably needs a little bit of TLC. I mean, being right next to the saltwater,
you know, things are going to deteriorate just slightly faster than they would if you were more
inland. So, you know, it may need a little bit of siding. Although for it to pass FHA
financing, I would say that it doesn't, it actually looks worse than what it actually is.
It does have a screened-in porch off the back, which is elevated. So no worries if you have,
if this, you know, if we get like a nor'easter or we do in the off chance get a hurricane,
you won't have to worry about flooding here. You do have plenty of stairs coming off of the,
actually it says decks off of two bedrooms. Okay. That's really nice. You can hang,
you can wake up and just hang out on your deck. Your front entrance, it does have crown molding.
Now this one does look like, and based off of the price, I'm going to say it probably
needs a little bit of updating, especially where it's located. So we do have the wood cabinets,
looks like they could be painted. You may be able to take out these headers here.
I think that the only thing in there, I mean, based off of what I'm seeing would be electric.
So if you could remove these and maybe put these as recess lights instead of doing the can lights,
recess lights have come a long way. We do have a granite black countertops with black appliances.
It does not look like, so you could remove this hood and put your microwave up here. You would
lose these two cabinets though. You have the sink right under the window and it does have a ceiling
fan in the kitchen. Now it does have a breakfast bar, which I call peninsula. It has electric in
the peninsula and then you have bar stools here. Another view of the kitchen, you have a dining
room eat-in area right next to the kitchen. Look at these views as you're eating dinner.
I love this. Now here's the thing. Do I think it needs to be updated? Yes. I think that the
flooring needs to be updated. I think I'm just not like a wood person. So I personally would
paint all of this like white trim. That's just me. If you like wood, that doesn't need to be done.
This is right off of the living room area. Once again, plenty of just the beautiful views. You
have a fireplace, ceiling fan in both. You have two ceiling fans in the living room area. The
living room area is located right off of that screened-in porch. So you do have a slider to go
out to the screened-in porch with all of those views. It does have electric out on the screened-in
porch with the ceiling fan. That's awesome. I would love having morning coffee out here.
You have the primary bedroom with two walk-in closets, okay, and a ceiling fan.
Once again, does need to be updated. I don't know why there's two ceiling fans. I would probably
remove that one and just do... Yeah, I would probably remove this one and just do one.
Once again, flooring does need to be updated in the bedrooms as well. Plenty of room though. This
is most likely a queen-size bed. Could get a king-size bed in here and still have plenty of
for your dressers. And then you do have a private deck. I can see you could put like
some planners here to give yourself some more privacy if you would like. You do have the
primary bathroom, which I would update this. I would probably just do a stall shower. I don't
really need a jetted tub, but that's just me. If I was going to do a jetted tub, it would be a
freestanding jetted tub. I would remove the medicine cabinet, do a mirror, update the light
fixture, and remove the border. And then this is that view of the double wall or double closets.
Oh, I'm sorry. This is bedroom number two. So bedroom number two, it looks like you have double
closets. Looks like this is a pretty decent-sized bedroom as well. I would remove the border,
update the ceiling fan, paint the walls. And then I think this is a great option as well.
To me, this is just as big as the primary. So you have plenty of room in here. You also have
a slider to your own private deck. Once again, we just talked about this. You could add some things
to make this a little bit more private if you would want to. And then bedroom number three,
once again, remove the border, update this slightly, and this would be a great third
bedroom option. And it has its own closet. And then this is the hall bath. This does have the
tub. And then it just has one sink, medicine cabinet. Once again, update the same things I
said about the primary I would do here. You do have the washer and dryer in the hallway.
They look like they're pretty old, so they do need to be updated as well. And then we have the,
oh, it's a community floating dock. You could always fish off of here. You could crab off of
here. You could also kayak, plenty of different options. You have the community playground,
a picnic area. You could always hang out and have like a 4th of July party here,
community basketball court. And then you have a walk-in storage area, which is actually unfinished,
but it could be a bonus room. Oh, that's great. So if you do need to store any of your Christmas
decorations or even any of just extra things that you may have, that's perfect. And then it does
have a basement with a rough-in for a bath. So if you wanted to finish this at some point, oh,
it is a two-car garage. So two-car garage, two ceiling fans. I don't know why you wouldn't use
ceiling fans down here. Three ceiling fans. I'm sorry. One, two, three. Lots of, oh my gosh. No,
there's four. That's one, two, three. And if you can't see this right here, it's four. Wow. I don't
think you need that many ceiling fans. I think that's a lot. I don't think I've ever seen so
many ceiling fans in a house in my life. Blackwater Village is where this house is located.
And then this is the open floor plan. And then this just gives you an idea of the four-year area
and then the hallway. I think these are just slightly out of order. No worries.
Does have a filtration system. And then that, yeah, four ceiling fans within that short amount
of space. All right. And then this is giving you an idea of where you are and where the community
dock is. All right. So like I said, that one is listed for $400,000. It's a three-bedroom,
two-bath, 1,620 square feet. All right. So the last one is listed for $575,000. It is a
four-bedroom, three-bath. It is 3,000 square feet built in 1991. This one does not have a basement
and it has an HOA fee of $350 annually. This one sits on almost a half acre. So I'm just going to
give you a heads up. This one does need a little bit of TLC. So this is part of an estate and they
just reduced it from 650,000 to 575,000. The trustees have never lived in the property. So
they do not know a lot about this home. But the reason I want to show you is because you can
always find homes that need a little bit of TLC and you can get sometimes a better deal on them,
especially in the winter, especially if the family is just trying to sell it.
And this one I feel like has a lot of potential. This is why I wanted to show it to you. So we do
have a three-car garage. It has a U-shaped driveway. It does sit right off of the water.
So if you are someone that would like to live on the water, this might be the perfect house for
you. It has plenty of windows, lots of skylights. I'm seeing it probably needs, I can't tell if this
is the tree or if this is like the siding right here, but I think it's just the tree I'm seeing
that's brown. But I would say, yes, this tree does need to be cut back slightly because it is
overhanging on the, over top of the roof. And when you have trees that are over top of the roof,
a lot of times it will lower the life expectancy of the roof. You are right in a cul-de-sac,
so you're not going to have a lot of people driving by. And you are right on the water.
So if you are someone, like I said, that has a boat or likes to go fishing or kayaking or
anything else like that, this might be the perfect house for you. And there's not many people in this
neighborhood. Sorry, I know I'm going a little fast. I just want to get to the inside of this
one. You could build a dock right here too. Imagine hanging out on this deck with this view.
This is so nice. Looks very calm and peaceful. And then this is the deck that goes to the backyard
right here. And then yes, I do think that the deck needs a little, you know, love and so does
this platform right here. All right. So coming in, we have double doors. We have this huge window.
That might be a little difficult to cut the grass there. I would worry about falling in.
Just be careful. I believe this is the primary bedroom. So it does look like this is a king-size
bed. I mean, it's really a blank slate. You do have the skylights, plenty of windows, two closets,
ceiling fan, and recessed lights. It does have carpet in the bedrooms. I want to say that this
is the primary bath. So you have an updated primary bath, updated with tile and the light
fixture. And then the shower tub area sits back in the back of the bathroom. And then you also
have the kitchen area, which it has shaker white cabinets, a pantry right here, backsplash already
done for you. We have an electric stove, does not have the microwave over top of the stove.
So you will need to add that. You have stainless steel appliances. They put a toaster oven in.
I personally think just this kitchen just needs to be slightly reworked.
I wouldn't have the refrigerator right in the middle. I would somehow figure out if I could
put this refrigerator over here and move these cabinets down. I'm trying to think. Yeah. I would
give myself just a little bit more countertop space, honestly. But it is tile in the kitchen,
which opens up to the living room, which has a fireplace with the ceiling fan. And we also have
the two skylights. And we also have the eat-in kitchen area. We have plenty of windows. We have
a slider. And this is why I wanted to show you this house. Wait till you see what is, you can
see this kind of in the background. It does have, it looks like different flooring in the living
room area, which then opens up to another living room area. Going a little out of order here again.
Back to the front, three-car garage. If you have lots of toys, boats, RVs, I mean ATVs,
what else do people have? Motorcycles, so many things. This one has an indoor pool,
which is absolutely insane. I was not expecting this when I first started looking at these homes.
Do I think it needs a little TLC right here? Because I can see the windows definitely need
some love. Yes. But it has an indoor pool. So it's like your own private oasis.
So if you or someone is looking for an indoor pool, this might be the house for you.
I also think that these skylights also need a little bit of love.
And as you can see, this needs love right here too. But we do have a, is this another,
I think this is another living room area right off of the pool.
So lots of sliders to get into this pool area. Yes, it is. And a nice view if you are
hanging out in the pool or if you're hanging out in the living room. We have bedroom number two.
Once again, this one is in the front of the house, does have a ceiling fan,
has carpet in the bedrooms. This is the same room, does have a closet, needs a door.
Looks like they updated the bathrooms. So this one is the hall bath. It does have a
seat right here, glass doors. It has a spiral staircase if that is something
that would interest you. I know that brings a lot of character to a home.
Ceiling fan in this room as well. And there's a slider to get to the pool. So if you wake up and
you're like, I want to go for a dip, this might be the perfect house for you. And then we have
another bathroom, which has a garden tub, stall shower. I think this might be off the primary.
I'm really sorry. I'm not sure where this is. I think this is the walk-in closet.
And then yes, this room needs a little love. But it looks like the pool area,
like the pool is in good shape. This actually might be the perfect house if you do fix it up.
And then you could always do Airbnb or rent it out weekly for people to visit during the summer.
And then we do have a separate dining room area. So it does look like this house just keeps on
going. I mean, I think it did say it was 3,000 square feet. So keep that in mind. We do have
this kind of overlook here. I feel like this could be reworked to make this look a little
bit more grand. And then we do have this mural already. I mean, if that's something that you
like. Otherwise, you could always paint over it. This is why I'm saying I think this would be
a great Airbnb. Have you seen those houses that have like themes? This might be it. And it already
has the pool in there for you, which brings even more attention to your house. I can't tell if
I think this might be an electric fireplace. I don't think it's actually... Yeah, because this
is behind this. So this could be removed if you don't want the fireplace. I do see lots of
potential. Oh, I see why they did this here. It's because of the kitchen. I personally would have
probably put the refrigerator over here and move these over. And then another bedroom.
All right. So like I said, that one is listed for $575,000. It's a four-bedroom,
three-bath. It is 3,000 square feet. It has an indoor pool. And honestly, like I said,
I think it would make the best Airbnb if you are someone that is looking for a potential
rental. All right. So there you have it. There are three different properties all located in
Dagsboro, Delaware. So whether you're looking to move to the beaches or you're looking for
a place to rent out, I mean, Dagsboro really does have it all. It's a mixture of old and new.
And also it is very close to Bethany Beach. So you can go to the Bethany Boardwalk or you could
go up Route 1 and go to the Rehoboth Boardwalk. I mean, there's plenty of things to do in Dagsboro.
