...71 Anchor Road offers a truly unique opportunity to own one of the original homes in North Shores, one of Rehoboth Beach’s most coveted waterfront communities. Set along the canal and overlooking protected wetlands, this special property offers a peaceful setting, beautiful open views, and unforgettable sunsets, all just minutes from everything that makes the Rehoboth Beach lifestyle so exceptional.

The existing mid-century modern beach home offers five bedrooms and three full bathrooms, providing plenty of space for family and friends. The open-concept kitchen, dining, and living areas create an inviting gathering space, while the wide screened porch extends the living space outdoors and overlooks the generous canal-side yard. It’s an ideal setting for relaxed summer days, and evenings spent watching the sun set over the wetlands.

Life in North Shores comes with an enviable collection of amenities, including a private community beach, swimming pool, and tennis courts, all just a few blocks away. Gordon’s Pond and the scenic trails of Cape Henlopen State Park are easily accessible by foot or bicycle, while Rehoboth Beach’s renowned restaurants, boutique shopping, entertainment, and boardwalk are only minutes away.

While there is plenty to appreciate about the home as it stands today, the greatest opportunity may lie in the land itself. With its canal-front setting, protected views, generous yard, and coveted North Shores location, 71 Anchor Road offers a rare canvas for creating something truly your own. Build a new home designed around the way you want to live, entertain, and enjoy the beach for years to come.

Opportunities like this are exceptionally hard to find, offering a canal-side setting with protected open views, access to a private beach community, and the distinction of a North Shores address.

71 Anchor Road isn’t simply an opportunity to own a home in Rehoboth Beach; it’s an opportunity to create your next chapter in one of the area’s most extraordinary settings.
