Charming Beachside Restaurant & Mixed-Use Investment Property
SBA Loan Eligible – Only 10% Down | Below-Market Interest Rates
Welcome to an exceptional opportunity to own a thriving restaurant and mixed-use building located in the heart of Betterton, a charming waterfront town in Kent County, Maryland. This property is not just a place to dine, but a hub of community life, offering both a bustling restaurant business and multiple income-generating spaces.
Property Highlights include: A spacious 2,392 sq. ft. dining area, the restaurant is fully equipped and ready to operate. It boasts a beer and wine license, which can easily be upgraded to a full liquor license. The current restaurant has great relationships with local camps. We are proud to have the opportunity to serve many\ of their over 700 campers and counselors each year. This brings in steady, seasonal business and strengthens its position as a go-to local eatery. In addition to the restaurant, the building features three apartments, each with its own unique charm and appeal:
Apartment #1: This spacious 1-bedroom, 1.5-bath unit offers 1,761 sq. ft. of living space, featuring beautiful hardwood floors and a full kitchen. With its separate entrance (in addition to access through the restaurant), this apartment could serve as a banquet room for events, an office, or a private residence. It also includes a convenient laundry room.
Apartment #2: A generously sized 3-bedroom, 2-bath apartment with 1,771 sq. ft. of living space. It features a private side entrance, a rear deck, expansive hardwood floors, and a full kitchen with a laundry room. This nearly new unit has barely been lived in, making it a fresh and inviting space.
Apartment #3: A cozy 2-bedroom, 1-bath unit, offering 1,452 sq. ft. of living space. With rear private access and a patio area, this apartment is perfect for those seeking a peaceful retreat and is also accessible through the restaurant.
History & Location: This property has a rich history, as was previously the Betterton Fire Hall and now offers 7,200 sq. ft. of usable space. It’s located in a prime location, just half a mile from the beach, offering the perfect blend of local charm and business opportunity. Whether you want to expand your restaurant business, invest in a mixed-use building, or simply live steps away from the water, this property offers something for everyone. Don’t miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity to be part of the thriving Betterton community!
Due to the high volume of inquiries about this property, we request that you DO NOT contact the restaurant owner directly. They are in high season and need to be able to answer their phone for take-out orders. Serious inquiries only – this rare beachside investment won't last long!
