Property Description
Waterfront Coastal Contemporary Retreat Nestled along Horseshoe Drive in Millsboro, Delaware, welcome to 26438 Horseshoe Drive, a waterfront coastal contemporary retreat that offers the feeling of being away every day, yet keeps you in the heart of it all. With panoramic pond views and the ever-changing beauty of Delmarva's wildlife just beyond your windows, this home delivers a front-row seat to nature's splendor in every season. Expect the unexpected from this unassuming residence. Inside, the three-bedroom, 2.5-bath home reveals soaring wood-beamed ceilings, hardwood floors, custom built-ins, and a collection of gathering spaces designed to showcase the water from nearly every angle. Sunlit rooms create an uplifting atmosphere, while cozy nooks invite you to unwind in comfort. The covered entry welcomes you into the foyer and main living area, where a vaulted, beamed ceiling crowns the living room. From here, glass doors open to the rear yard and outdoor living space, seamlessly connecting inside and out. The dining room is accented by a custom built-in sideboard, exposed brick, and a warm wood feature wall, a perfect backdrop for memorable entertaining. The kitchen, with abundant cabinetry and expansive counter prep space, invites your inner chef to shine. Just beyond, the family room offers a raised-hearth custom seating area, ideal for curling up with a book or simply admiring the serene pond views. The primary suite, tucked away on one side of the home, offers a peaceful retreat with sweeping views and a private bath with stall shower. Two additional guest bedrooms, each uniquely styled, share a hall bath on the opposite wing. Step into the sunroom, a tranquil spot for morning coffee or catching up on emails while gazing out over the water. Outdoors, a patio and private dock extend the living experience, whether you're enjoying cocktails at twilight, fishing on a quiet afternoon, or simply soaking in the view. All of this comes with the convenience of being moments from downtown Millsboro, with its schools, shopping, dining, and medical services close at hand. 26438 Horseshoe Drive is a rare opportunity to create your own waterfront sanctuary, whether as a primary residence or weekend retreat. Come explore the possibilities and let your vision bring this special home to life.
