If you find yourself appreciating the finer things in life... if you have an eye for quality, craftsmanship, and attention to detail... we might have found the right home for you. This designer's own home at The Portofino Townhomes in North Ocean City gives offers a refreshing take on a renovation 'done right'! ---- Completely renovated in 2025-2026, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath townhome brings together beautifully selected finishes, thoughtful design and craftsmanship that carries you seamlessly into each room of the home. The kitchen, flooring, millwork, doors and fixtures were chosen with a clear vision for how the entire home should "feel". Tiled walk-in showers bring a touch of luxury to your daily routine, while fitted closet organizers reflect the same care in places that don't always make the photographs. In short, it's a refined, elegant, and timeless twist on a coastal-design.... a rare find in our area! ----- Comfortable without being ordinary. And with new HVAC, new appliances and select furnishings included, the improvements go well beyond what catches your eye. At $649,000, that attention to detail comes with another compelling addition: your own separately deeded boat slip and new 10,000-pound Golden boat lift at the community pier on the adjacent waterfront. Inside, approximately 1,400 square feet includes an open-concept kitchen, dining and living area that flows directly onto an oversized private rear deck. Leave the doors open when the weather cooperates, bring dinner outside, or settle in with a drink and no particular agenda. This row of townhomes has an advantage you might not recognize from a map: it doesn't look directly into the backs of other townhomes. You have a quiet, cozy and private 'nook' to retreat to at the end of each day ---- Now let's be clear... expansive water views aren't the attraction here. The more private, cozy setting is. You have access to the waterfront for boating, with a little more separation when you come home. A community pool adds another option for your afternoons, while a financially strong association, professional management and proactive maintenance support the care of the community. Then there's the location. At 16 Bella Vista Lane, just across the Route 54 bridge from North Ocean City, you have an Ocean City, Maryland address without Ocean City municipal property taxes. North OC, Fenwick Island and the beach are close at hand, with a beautifully finished home waiting when you've had enough sun. Plenty of properties can give you a place at the beach. This one gives you a place that reflects your taste, your style, an appreciation for things 'done right'.. and a boat slip that opens up the rest of your day.
