Property Description

THE ULTIMATE UPGRADED COASTAL RETREAT! Experience the pinnacle of coastal luxury in this expanded Catalina build by Schell Brothers, located in the established waterfront community of Marsh Island Estates. While the base architecture is stunning, this 5-bedroom, 4.5-bath masterpiece represents an additional $350,000 in meticulous high-end upgrades invested above and beyond the original build price. Connected by a private elevator serving all three levels, the home is designed for both effortless daily living and grand-scale entertaining. The interior is a masterclass in detail, featuring 5 1/4" base moldings, elegant three-panel box wainscoting, and a primary suite with tray ceilings and specialized rope lighting. Unlike many coastal homes, this residence offers rare functional solutions, including a floored attic, specialized storage under the front porch, and custom-organized closets and pantry. The heart of the home is a chef's dream kitchen, featuring "White Ice" granite countertops, a Kohler Whitehaven farm sink, and a professional-grade Cafe stainless-steel suite with double convection wall ovens. For those prioritizing security and connectivity, the home comes fully equipped with a comprehensive smart house system, integrated alarm, and professional security cameras. Technology enthusiasts will also appreciate the dual professional home theater setups and built-in ceiling speakers with specialized sound insulation. Every mechanical detail has been considered, from the whole-house generator and solar panels to the upgraded irrigation system with its own well and a 240v car charger in the garage. The outdoor living space is a private sanctuary backing to a serene community pond with peaceful water views. Recently transformed in the fall of 2024, the rear oasis features a custom in-ground pool surrounded by professional hardscaping, a fully fenced yard, and upgraded low-voltage lighting. Relax on the ground-level screened porch with retractable screens or utilize the retractable deck awnings during sunny afternoons. Enjoy easy access to Love Creek for kayaking and fishing; the kayaks and high-end furnishings are even negotiable, providing a truly turn-key retreat. Located in a non-flood zone just minutes from the world-class dining and pristine beaches of Lewes and Rehoboth, this property delivers the ultimate coastal lifestyle.
