BIG BAY VIEWS! Take a front-row seat to panoramic sunrises and sunsets, and enjoy refreshing sea breezes from your rear patio that leads directly to the Delaware Bay. You'll even have a perfect view of the iconic Lewes Beach Fourth of July fireworks! This spacious, custom-built home-only six years young-offers everything you're looking for in a coastal retreat. Bright, open living spaces and a large gourmet kitchen make it ideal for entertaining family and friends. Among the many numerous exceptional features throughout the property, the open concept gourmet kitchen features premium luxury appliances - Viking ovens and warming drawer, Miele Espresso Machine, oversized Thermador refrigerator and wine cooler, Mercury range with induction cooktop and 3 ovens, and a built-in ice maker - perfectly set-up for hosting gatherings. In addition to the 180-degree bay views visible from the main living area, you can open the expansive wall of Marvin bi-fold doors to create the epitome of indoor / outdoor living & entertaining! This space is further enhanced by deploying the series of Executive motorized screens to enclose the very large back covered patio into an enticing and practical screened-in porch - adding 500 sq feet of additional living and entertaining space. The luxury and conveniences continue with electronic Elan / Nice window shades and a TV / stereo / sound system - controlled with remotes and a AP driven by a multi-rack computer system. The owner's suite is a true sanctuary, featuring hardwood floors, a walk-in closet, a luxurious en suite bath, and a private bayfront balcony with infinity-like water views. With four additional bedrooms (two upstairs, two downstairs), there's plenty of room for guests to relax in comfort. From this peaceful stretch of Lewes Beach, you can stroll to the Lewes Yacht Club or bike to downtown restaurants and shops. This is truly a stunning, must-see house - your Delaware beach dream begins here!
