Property Description
Welcome home to 38851 Grant Ave - a stunning canal-front masterpiece moments from Delaware's most scenic beaches near Fenwick Island. While others wait on permits, punch lists, and construction timelines, this move-in ready coastal gem is available right now. No waiting. No dust. No delays. Just pure, polished waterfront living - with a private dock, deep-water access to the Assawoman Bay, and a maritime lifestyle starting day one. This exceptional seven-bedroom + den, three full and two half-bathroom residence spans nearly 4,500 square feet across four thoughtfully designed floors. Only four years young, it lives and feels brand new - without the often overlooked new construction upgrades like custom closets and $12,000 worth of custom window coverings that are already installed in this home. An inverted floor plan maximizes views at every turn. Take the elevator to the third floor and prepare to have your breath stolen - a bespoke, magazine-worthy designer kitchen anchors the living and dining spaces, featuring Crystal cabinetry, quartz surfaces, a Thermador and GE Monogram appliance package, and clever kick-toe drawers that keep everything effortlessly organized. Just past the kitchen, a custom built-in bar commands attention: leathered marble, custom millwork, and a curated Marvel chiller suite - mini fridge, 100-bottle wine fridge, and a continuous ice maker - because your guests deserve better than lukewarm rosé. These spaces flow seamlessly to a large screened and covered porch with custom vinyl inserts for year-round use, ceiling fans, and sweeping canal views that make every evening feel like a getaway. The primary suite occupies its own wing on this level, offering an oversized bedroom, custom walk-in closet, designer bath, and sliding glass doors opening to a private canal-view deck. A linear fireplace anchors the living room, with a private office and powder room tucked neatly around the corner. The second floor hosts four secondary bedrooms, two full baths, a den perfect for an office, and a generous outdoor deck. The top floor flex space - ideal as a seventh bedroom or bonus room - opens to a rooftop deck with breathtaking bay views. On the ground floor, an insulated two-car garage with game room space rounds out one of the most versatile floor plans on the Delaware coast. Outside you will find a lush, but manageable, yard, large covered patio space, outdoor shower and a dock that has electricity - perfect for sunbathing or watersports - providing access to the deep waters of Assawoman Bay. Built with structural substance to match its style: 47 pilings, a four-story fire suppression sprinkler system, maintenance-free siding, composite decking, and VertiCable railings - structural details that protect your investment for decades. Minutes from Fenwick Island State Park, world-class dining, boutique shopping, and the beloved Freeman Stage outdoor concert venue. The Cape Windsor community adds a pool, tot lot, and picnic area. This is Coastal Delaware living at its absolute finest. Call it yours today - no waiting required.
