Charming Beachside Restaurant & Mixed-Use Property in Betterton, MD. 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. Restaurant & Business Opportunity. At the center of this property is Marzella's By the Bay, a beloved local restaurant that enjoys a loyal customer base and a proven seasonal track record. With 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 sale includes all the necessary equipment – ovens, refrigerated prep stations, refrigerators, and more. Currently, the owners are only utilizing 40% of the available dining space, leaving plenty of room for expansion and growth. An exciting perk: Marzella’s has exclusive catering agreements with two summer camps, serving 700 kids for 14 weeks each year. This brings in steady, seasonal business and strengthens its position as a go-to local eatery. The restaurant is truly the anchor of this property, with strong community support and significant potential for growth. Mixed-Use Income-Producing Property
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.
Additional Lot & Single-Family Home. For buyers seeking even more potential, an additional lot is available with a single-family home. This strategic lot is being offered on a first-right basis, adding even more flexibility to the investment. History & Location. This property has a rich history, as it 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. The building is not just a place to live and work—it’s a community cornerstone. The current owner is involved in daily operations and resides on the property, making this a truly turnkey business opportunity. With strong local demand, multiple revenue streams, and plenty of room for growth, this property is a rare find in a highly desirable location. Whether you’re looking 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!
