Description

Don’t miss this rare, one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a true piece of paradise on the coveted North Shore at Broadkill Beach. This exclusive section of Broadkill offers a private, Resident-Only Beach that is serene, Dog-Friendly, and perfect for relaxation or recreation. Enjoy Private Access For 4WD Vehicles, surf fishing, and evening bonfires. This rare cedar-clad, Custom-Built Beach home has been meticulously maintained and is situated on a Double-Wide Lot and double-deep lot, spanning 1/3 of an acre with unobstructed, Breathtaking Views Of The 10,000-Acre Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge—a nature lover’s dream. This wildlife sanctuary, part of the North American Atlantic Flyway for migratory birds, makes the home a mecca for bird watchers, with autumn skies filled with snow geese and frequent sightings of bald eagles perched on bald cypress trees. The towering loblolly pines surrounding the property provide natural cooling in the summer, while the manicured landscaping and gardens are truly remarkable, featuring hydrangeas, English boxwoods, roses, and other low-maintenance perennials reminiscent of the finest homes on Cape Cod. The beach home itself offers Three Expansive Levels with an open floor plan and hardwood floors throughout. On the ground level, you’ll find oversized windows that overlook the lush rose gardens, a large living and dining area with custom Wainscoting, a spacious bedroom fitting a king-size bed with a walk-in closet, and a Luxurious Bathroom featuring a Clawfoot Enameled Soaking Tub. There’s also a mudroom (which could easily be converted into a kitchenette), perfect for transforming the ground floor into a mother-in-law suite. Ascend the wide wooden staircase to the main level, where the living room stuns with its 20-foot ceilings, two skylights, and huge architectural windows that offer panoramic views of the refuge. Two sliding glass doors open to a wraparound deck, ideal for enjoying stunning sunsets and outdoor entertaining. The dining room, featuring a 30-foot ceiling and a built-in corner cupboard, also opens to the deck, while the kitchen dazzles with custom dovetailed cabinets, quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, and a hand-painted mural by a local artist. The main level also hosts the Primary Suite, with crown moldings, expansive windows, and a bathroom with ceramic tile, a walk-in shower, and a walk-in storage closet. The third level is equally stunning, featuring High Ceilings in the two large bedrooms, which are designed to accommodate queen-size beds. Both rooms boast extra-large windows with garden views and architectural charm, and they share a central bathroom with ceramic tile and a combination shower and tub. Flooded with natural light, the home’s many Anderson windows and skylights create a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. Outdoor Living is at its finest here, with boardwalks, water features, and space perfect for family dinners, fireside chats, or quiet early mornings. A large, custom-built shed offers ample storage for bikes, kayaks, and beach gear, and the custom outdoor shower with a sitting bench provides the perfect place to rinse off after a day at the beach. The driveway, made of white marble rock, comfortably fits 4-5 cars. This home also boasts an excellent rental history, making it ideal for those seeking an investment property that can accommodate large gatherings. And the best part? You’re just a 5-minute stroll from the wide, private, sandy beach. Your coastal oasis awaits—this is truly Broadkill Beach living at its finest.
