About this home
A singular achievement in modern coastal architecture, this oceanfront residence located within the private gated SeaDel community in North Bethany Beach was designed by Robert Gurney, FAIA — one of the most celebrated architects in the Mid-Atlantic — and stands as a landmark property in Delaware's luxury beach real estate market. Hovering above pristine Atlantic dunes, this six-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath architectural home offers unobstructed ocean views and a living experience that is genuinely irreplaceable.
The home's minimalist exterior — a refined composition of fiber cement board, stucco, and wood — gives way to an interior defined by reclaimed walnut flooring, crisp white painted millwork, and the kind of meticulous detailing that elevates every surface. This is not a beach house. It is a work of art you live in.
The chef's kitchen is outfitted with flat-panel white cabinetry and a full suite of Miele appliances, including a built-in coffee system. Fixtures throughout are sourced from Hans Grohe and Graff Designs — two benchmarks of luxury bath and kitchen hardware — ensuring every touchpoint reflects the home's uncompromising standard of finish.
Engineered to maximize its oceanfront site, the home was constructed on twenty-two existing pilings plus eight new, expanding the building envelope in full compliance with DNREC coastal regulations — a configuration that cannot be replicated under today's code. Wood slat detailing on the south facade and lower levels draws in ocean breezes naturally, while the west-facing stairwell filters light without heat gain. The result is a home that feels as though it was conceived by the ocean itself.
Indoor-outdoor living is seamless. Panoramic Atlantic Ocean views anchor every principal living space, and the boundary between the natural landscape and the interior dissolves entirely. For buyers seeking a Delaware beach home that transcends the ordinary — a true architect-designed oceanfront estate with irreplaceable design provenance — this is it....
