Property Description
YOUR PERSONAL LEWES RESORT Just minutes from downtown Lewes and the beach, yet tucked away in complete privacy, this extraordinary estate delivers a true resort-at-home lifestyle. Set on a beautifully landscaped, tree-lined property, this exceptional residence offers more than 5,500 square feet of heated living space combining luxury, comfort, and endless entertainment opportunities. A stunning courtyard fountain, covered double front porch, and grand foyer create an unforgettable first impression. Inside, rich hardwood flooring, exquisite crown moldings, and a dramatic two-story great room with a coffered ceiling and gas fireplace establish an elegant yet inviting atmosphere throughout the home. Designed for both everyday living and grand-scale entertaining, the main level includes a private executive office, formal dining room, and an exceptional gourmet kitchen. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring premium granite countertops, dual islands, extensive tongue-and-groove cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, Wolf cooktop with warming drawer, Thermador double wall ovens, and Bosch dishwasher. The luxurious first-floor owner's suite serves as a private retreat, complete with a custom mantel gas fireplace, direct deck access, an expansive walk-in closet with custom built-ins, and a spa-inspired bath with jetted soaking tub and custom-tiled shower. Upstairs, guests and family will enjoy an incredible entertainment level featuring a private theater room with included media seating, a spacious billiards and game room with custom wet bar, an adjoining family room, four generously sized guest bedrooms, two full baths, and access to the charming second-story front porch. Step outside and discover a backyard oasis that rivals a five-star luxury resort. Spend summer days relaxing in the private saltwater pool, soaking in the hot tub, or entertaining from the fully covered outdoor kitchen. As the sun sets, gather around the impressive stone wood-burning fireplace on the expansive paver patio or enjoy a friendly match on your private bocce ball court. Additional outdoor amenities include a dining pergola with lighting, lush professional landscaping, custom walkways, a covered deck, screened porch with ceiling fan, and a large custom storage shed. Car collectors, boating enthusiasts, and hobbyists will appreciate the property's remarkable garage capacity. A rare combination of an attached three-car side-entry garage and attached two-car front-entry garage provides abundant space for vehicles, watercraft, beach equipment, storage, or workshop space. Ideally located just moments from the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal, Lewes Beach, scenic bike trails, boutique shopping, and acclaimed restaurants, this property offers the very best of coastal Delaware living. Adding even more value, this remarkable estate is offered below its recent appraised value, presenting a rare opportunity for immediate equity and an unmatched luxury lifestyle in one of Lewes' most desirable locations.
