About this home
A rare opportunity to own a distinctive custom residence offering approximately 4,200 sq ft of beautifully designed living space on 3.5 private acres in Ocean View. Thoughtfully designed & exceptionally well built, the home combines privacy, gracious one-level living, and remarkable flexibility. CR-1 zoning and an existing shared DelDOT entrance offer possibilities for residential use, business use, or a combination of both. Despite its private setting, the property is a short walk from Good Earth Market & Restaurant for coffee, lunch, dinner, and groceries, as well as Dickens Parlour Theatre. A long gravel drive winds through the wooded setting before opening to a beautifully designed circular parking area accented by a stone paver inlay. Brick steps lead to a welcoming covered front porch with a classic brick floor & custom beveled-glass front door. Designed primarily for one-level living, the home is warm, open, & filled with natural light. Generously proportioned living & dining spaces feature a gas fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry & bookcases, and a built-in bar with glass-front cabinetry. An abundance of windows frames views of the surrounding trees & gardens, bringing the outside in. At the heart of the home is an expansive kitchen designed for serious cooking, relaxed everyday living, and entertaining. Legacy all-wood cabinetry, including extensive glass-front display cabinetry, is paired with honed limestone countertops, high-end appliances, a six-burner gas range, wine refrigerator, second sink, & large center island. Centered within a charming custom tile inlay set into the oak flooring, the island creates a natural gathering place. A custom Dutch door opens directly to the screened porch. Spacious enough for living & dining, the screened porch features a vaulted beadboard ceiling, cedar-shingle walls, and peaceful woodland views. Multiple decks extend the living spaces outdoors, while a professionally designed Japanese-inspired garden adds beauty & tranquility to the private grounds. The expansive primary suite is a private retreat with a sitting room wrapped in rich wood paneling & featuring extensive built-in bookcases, cabinetry, and a Vermont Castings wood stove. The spacious primary bath includes a long double vanity, freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed shower, extensive cabinetry, and a wall of windows overlooking the trees. An oversized walk-in closet and private balcony overlooking the gardens complete the suite. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath. The partial second floor offers a spacious family room, additional bedroom, & full bath. Accessible from both the main residence and its own private entrance, this flexible space is ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, studio, or potential rental use. Built in 2004 with 2x6 exterior walls, exceptional insulation, and cedar perfection-shingle siding, the home features Andersen windows w/ transoms, 3¼" select oak flooring, substantial custom millwork, detailed moldings, five-piece window & door trim, solid-core interior doors, and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The quality and craftsmanship give the home a sense of substance & permanence that would be difficult to reproduce today. This home's distinctive design was featured in 2004 Delaware Beach Life and showcased on the Beach & Bay Cottage Tour. Additional features include a 3 car garage with carriage-style doors, central vacuum, gas grill connection, encapsulated crawlspace w/ dehumidifier, 3 new HVAC systems, a 2025 Rinnai tankless water heater, private shared well, and oversized septic system. With 3.5 private acres, there is ample room to envision an incredible pool and outdoor retreat while preserving the beauty of the wooded setting. Casually elegant and beautifully crafted, this home feels both substantial and welcoming. A rare combination of acreage, privacy, quality, flexible living space, and CR-1 zoning....
