Introducing a stunning Schell Brothers Waterford residence, perfectly situated on a .75-acre lot, east of Route 1 in Lewes, Delaware. Designed with timeless curb appeal, the exterior presents multiple roof peaks, shake and vertical siding, charming window boxes, manicured landscaping, and a welcoming covered front porch. A three-car side-entry garage with epoxy flooring and a screened-in porch at the back of the home complete the thoughtful exterior design. Inside, a neutral coastal palette and engineered hardwood flooring flow throughout the main living areas, enhanced by remote-control Hunter Douglas blinds and plantation shutters. The heart of the home is a beautiful gourmet kitchen, showcasing 42" soft-close cabinetry with illuminated display cabinets and underlighting, Quartz countertops, a classic subway tile backsplash, and premium stainless-steel appliances including a 6-burner Wolf gas range with custom hood and pot filler, plus a GE Monogram side-by-side refrigerator with dispenser. The expansive island accommodates seating for six, while the adjoining dining area offers views to the lovely, screened porch, ideal for indoor-outdoor entertaining. The kitchen and dining areas open to a dramatic two-story living room, highlighted by floor-to-ceiling windows and a magnificent stone gas fireplace with raised hearth, mantel, and flanking built-ins. The space is hardwired for a mounted television, ensuring seamless enjoyment of this central gathering area. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat, featuring a tray ceiling, crown molding, a cozy sitting area, and dual walk-in closets. Its spa-inspired ensuite bath offers dual vanities, a makeup vanity, freestanding tub, tiled walk-in shower, and private water closet. A second ensuite bedroom and a French-door home office complete this level. A spacious laundry room with Quartz counters, crown-topped cabinetry, sink, and front-loading washer and dryer provides access to the garage. Upstairs, a turned staircase with wood treads leads to a generous family room with access to a balcony, serving as the hub for three generously sized ensuite bedrooms, each designed with comfort and privacy in mind. Adding exceptional versatility, the home also features a 2,285 sq. ft. unfinished basement with walk-out stairs to the backyard, a sump pump, and rough-in plumbing for a future bathroom-ready to be customized into additional living, recreation, or storage space. Beyond the home itself, the east-of-Route 1 location adds immeasurable value. Residents enjoy quick and convenient access to the historic charm of downtown Lewes, with its boutique shops, fine dining, and cultural attractions, as well as the scenic Lewes Beach and Cape Henlopen State Park. The coastal lifestyle here offers opportunities for biking along scenic trails, kayaking the waterways, enjoying pristine beaches, or simply savoring the relaxed pace of life along Delaware's treasured shoreline. This Schell Brothers Waterford home is a showcase of refined design and craftsmanship, thoughtfully blending everyday comfort with timeless style. With spacious interiors, exceptional finishes, and easy access to the coastal attractions of Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, it offers the ideal setting to enjoy life at the shore.
