Rarely does a home offer this combination of setting, craftsmanship, privacy, and convenience. Perfectly positioned on one of the most distinctive homesites in the highly sought-after Villages of Five Points East community, this immaculate custom residence captures sweeping pond and tree-line views, beautiful natural light, and an exceptional sense of privacy, all just minutes from historic downtown Lewes and Delaware's renowned beaches. Custom designed and built by Lessard Builders, a respected local family-owned custom builder, the home showcases quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and high-end finishes throughout. A welcoming front porch opens to an impressive interior where soaring vaulted ceilings and oversized windows immediately draw your attention to the beautiful views beyond. Oak hardwood flooring extends throughout the main living areas, complementing the home's warm and refined coastal character, spinning over 4,100 square feet. At the heart of the home is a beautifully appointed kitchen featuring stainless steel appliances, granite countertops, a tile backsplash, gas cooktop, custom walk-in pantry, and oversized breakfast-bar island ideal for casual gatherings and entertaining. The adjoining dining area and light-filled great room, anchored by a stone fireplace with custom oak mantel, create an inviting space where the landscape becomes part of the interior experience. One of the home's most enjoyable spaces is the expansive four-season sunroom. Complete with its own dedicated split-system HVAC, it provides a comfortable year-round retreat! Outdoor living is equally exceptional. A sprawling rear patio creates an impressive setting for entertaining, centered around a large gas fire pit featuring a premium custom high-flame Crossfire burner from Montana Fire Pits. With an expansive rear yard, tranquil pond views, and preserved acreage beyond, the outdoor setting offers a rare combination of openness, natural beauty, and privacy. Adding to its truly unique setting, the property backs to Ard Na Gréine, approximately 88 acres of preserved land protected by the Sussex County Land Trust, creating a scenic natural backdrop that is increasingly difficult to find this close to Lewes. The spacious first-floor owner's suite is thoughtfully separated from the guest accommodations and offers a relaxing private retreat with a double vanity, zero-entry tiled shower, and expansive walk-in closet. Two generously sized guest bedrooms are also located on the main level, along with a versatile study ideal for a home office, library, den, or additional sleeping space. Upstairs, a spacious family and game room provides exceptional flexibility, accompanied by two additional bedrooms and two full baths. A mudroom with laundry provides everyday convenience, while the oversized, fully insulated and finished two-car garage features coated flooring and currently accommodates a 2-inch-thick slat pool table and mounted television. A conditioned crawl space, accessed by an interior staircase and offering five-foot ceiling heights, provides an extraordinary amount of easily accessible storage and flexible recreational space. The home is further enhanced by an extensive collection of premium upgrades, including a dual-zone geothermal HVAC system offering exceptional energy efficiency and remarkably low utility costs, solid wood doors throughout home interior, lawn irrigation supplied by a designated well, industrial-grade dehumidifier, professional stonework and landscaping, and numerous additional custom details throughout. From the property, enjoy convenient access to the Georgetown-Lewes Trail and the ability to walk or bike to the Villages of Five Points town center, with its restaurants, shops, fitness facilities, and everyday conveniences. Community amenities include two swimming pools, four tennis courts, eight pickleball courts, a clubhouse, jogging paths and scenic walking trails.
