Discover a rare opportunity to own a stunning custom-build cedar-clad beach home in the highly sought-after private community North Shore section of Broadkill Beach. This exclusive community offers private beach access for residents and guests, a dog-friendly environment, and the perfect setting for 4WD vehicles, surf fishing, and bonfires. Set on a spacious 1/3-acre lot, this meticulously maintained home boasts unobstructed views of the 10,000- acre Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, offering a tranquil and picturesque backdrop. The beautifully landscaped gardens, featuring hydrangeas, English Boxwoods, roses and other perennial plants, create a serene oasis that requires minimal upkeep. With three levels and an open floor plan, this home maximizes natural light and stunning views from every room. The first level features a spacious living and dining area with custom wainscoting and oversized windows that overlook the rose gardens. A large bedroom, complete with a walk-in closet, can easily accomodate a king-size bed. The luxurious bathroom includes a claw-foot soaking tub surrounded by tumbled marble and ceramic tile. Additionally, a mudroom and utility room with new washer and dryer are on this level, with the mudroom offering the potential to be transformed into a small kitchen or pantry- ideal for an in-law suite. A wide wooden staircase with custom wainscoting leads to the second level, where you'll find a dramatic living room with 20-foot ceilings, skylights, and expansive architectural windows. A marble fireplace and two sliding glass doors open onto a wraparound deck, offering breathtaking views of the refuge and unforgettable sunsets. The dining room, featuring a 30-foot ceiling and a built-in corner cupboard, also opens to the deck, creating seamless indoor-outdoor living. The chef-inspired kitchen boasts custom dovetailed wooden cabinets, quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, and brand -new stainless steel appliances. A hand-painted Folk Art mural of the refuge by a local artist adds a unique touch to the space. The primary suite is a tranquil retreat, offering crown moldings, large windows with views of the side gardens, and a spa-like bathroom with ceramic tile, a walk-in shower, and an expansive storage closet. The third level features two spacious bedrooms, each with high ceilings, large windows, and ample closet space, creating a peaceful environment for rest and relaxation. A shared bathroom, featuring ceramic tile and a combination shower/tub, completes this level. Throughout the home, oversized windows, skylights, and an open layout flood the space with natural light, blending indoor and outdoor living. The gardens, with beautiful water features and boardwalks, offer a serene setting for family gatherings, fireside chats, or quiet moments of reflection. Every room provides a unique view of the gardens, water features, and stunning sunsets. Additional amenities include a custom-built shed for beach equipment, kayaks, and bikes, as well as a large outdoor beach shower perfect for rinsing off after a day at the beach. The white marbled rock driveway accommodates up to 4-5 cars, providing ample parking. And best of all, the wide, private sandy beach is just a 5-minute stroll away.
