Description

Welcome to a rare find in a private Bayfront community—an inviting coastal retreat tucked away on a picturesque lot overlooking the tranquil marshlands. With over $20,000 invested in professional landscaping, the backyard has been transformed into a secluded sanctuary, spacious enough to add a pool or simply enjoy as your own peaceful escape. This thoughtfully crafted, energy-efficient, three-level home blends elegance with comfort, boasting high-end finishes and exceptional attention to detail throughout. Sunlight pours through every window, creating a warm and airy ambiance across the home. The main level serves as the heart of the home, featuring a gourmet kitchen with granite countertops and a stylish backsplash, a large great room with a cozy fireplace, an open dining space, and a generous screened porch that effortlessly extends your living and entertaining area outdoors. A secondary master suite on this floor offers privacy and includes its own balcony—a perfect morning coffee spot. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a tray ceiling, spa-inspired bath, two walk-in closets, and a private balcony where you can unwind to the sights and sounds of nature. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath complete this level. On the lower floor, (partially finished) you'll find entry from the garage, along with a versatile room currently used as a home gym and workshop, featuring French doors that open to the backyard and a 12x20 shed. Stacked closets on each level—along with garage access—provide the option to install a future elevator. As a resident, you'll enjoy exclusive access to your own private bay beach with kayak storage and a gazebo, a stunning marshfront pool, and a vibrant clubhouse filled with activities. Hop on a golf cart or enjoy a short stroll to all the community amenities. Best of all, you’re just minutes from Rehoboth Beach and shopping—close enough to enjoy everything, yet peacefully removed from the hustle and bustle of seasonal crowds.
