About This Home

A Bayfront Sanctuary Where Every Sunrise and Sunset Steals the Show Welcome to your private coastal retreat—where modern luxury meets timeless tranquility. Perfectly positioned on the serene shores of Broadkill Beach, this 2017 custom-built bayfront residence captures the essence of waterfront living with sweeping 360° views, seamless indoor-outdoor design, and elegant, sun-filled interiors. Wake up to the sound of gentle waves and golden light reflecting off the Delaware Bay. Step onto one of your many balconies with coffee in hand as dolphins glide by in the distance, or gather with friends on the roof top deck and beach, as the evening sky transforms into shades of coral and violet over the refuge. Every level of this home is thoughtfully designed to frame the beauty of the bay—offering sunrise and sunset views that change with each season, yet always inspire awe. Inside, over 3,000 square feet of refined coastal architecture await. With 5 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 bathrooms, this residence offers both intimate family comfort and open spaces ideal for entertaining. The inviting great room centers around a spectacular stone fireplace and flows effortlessly to multiple decks—perfect for savoring the views and sea breeze. The chef’s kitchen is a coastal showpiece, featuring high-end finishes, custom cabinetry, and an expansive island—ideal for hosting brunches or sunset dinner parties. Every detail, from designer lighting to thoughtfully curated flooring, reflects a commitment to quality, sophistication, and effortless seaside living. Outside, the 75X100 landscaped lot has been artfully designed for both beauty and function, with premium side yards, secure storage, an outdoor shower, and extensive hardscaping that complements the home’s natural surroundings. A concrete driveway with space for six vehicles ensures ample room for guests eager to share in your waterfront lifestyle. Just steps away, the sandy beach invites morning walks, paddleboarding, or kayaking across the calm bay waters. As night falls, ascend to your private rooftop deck to stargaze beneath an endless coastal sky—a signature Broadkill Beach experience found only in homes of this caliber. Whether as a primary residence or a luxury coastal escape, this rare offering promises more than a home—it delivers a lifestyle defined by peace, beauty, and connection to the water. Sellers are open to negotiating the purchase of the brand-new Kawasaki Beach Buggy, paddleboards, kayaks, and Sunfish on a separate bill of sale making for instant beach enjoyment and fun memories in the sun.
