29 Candlelight Ln, Rehoboth Beach, DE 19971

Light, cheerful, and full of coastal personality, this 2-bedroom, 1-bath home in Colonial East has been thoughtfully modernized while keeping the easygoing charm that makes it such a fun place to be. Inside, a playful coastal palette keeps things bright and carefree, the original kitchen cabinetry has been refreshed with paint, and vinyl replacement windows bring in plenty of natural light. Some of the less glamorous but very important improvements have already been taken care of, too, including PVC plumbing, a new electrical panel, newer HVAC, and a newer water heater. One of the best spaces in the house is the wonderful sunroom, with windows all around and its own portable AC; it’s the kind of room that practically asks for a morning cup of coffee, an afternoon book, or a table full of friends and a deck of cards. Outside, pretty landscaping gives the home a welcoming feel, while the patio offers a great spot for grilling and relaxing after a day at the beach. There’s also a storage shed with room for beach chairs, umbrellas, bikes, and all the other gear that seems to multiply when you live this close to the coast. The A-frame roofline and vinyl siding complete the tidy, appealing exterior. And then there’s the location. Colonial East sits east of Route 1, tucked behind Panera Bread and remarkably close to just about everything. Walk to the movies at Midway, outlet shopping, restaurants, and more, or hop in the car for a short drive to Rehoboth Beach, Lewes’ Savannah Beach, or Cape Henlopen State Park. Lawn mowing and trash pickup are included, leaving a little more time for the reason you’re here in the first place: to enjoy life at the beach. Colonial East is a leased-land community, and offers a pool, playground, and community center for residents to enjoy. Park application and approval are required, including credit and background checks and verification of income and/or assets.
