Property Description

*OFFERS, if any, kindly requested by Sunday Sept 13 5pm * Merriam Webster defines the opportunity of a lifetime to be "of a chance or experience, such that it does not occur more than once in a person's life." and one might argue that this residence is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity. Seven Sand Dune Drive-offered for sale for the very first time-stands as a testament to visionary architecture and family legacy. This beloved home was designed by a celebrated regional architect whose creative vision transforms every corner into a celebration of light, water, and the simple joys of Southern Delaware beach living. This streamlined, uncluttered home is a masterclass in taking full advantage of its extraordinary setting. Eschewing unnecessary embellishment, every design choice frames and enhances the water views that dominate the home's soul. From nearly every room, views of Silver Lake-create an ever-changing canvas of light and reflection. The home features six bedrooms, two full bathrooms and one half bath, with a thoughtfully designed, inverted floorplan, layout providing guest privacy while maximizing views. The guest level offers five bedrooms and two full baths. The main level of the home maintains the expansive open living space with vaulted ceiling with exposed beams, original pine flooring, fireplace and kitchen while providing nearly an entire wall of sliding glass doors to a view of Silver Lake. The opposite side of the home is where you'll find the primary suite sure to stun. On one end there is a sitting area with fireplace, access to a balcony and unobstructed views of Silver Lake, while the other end affords a large walk through closet, enormous bathroom with large soaking tub double vanity and separate shower - and if that weren't enough - you even have your own private deck with a hot tub. This home was designed for indoor and outdoor living - expansive sun decks, large screened porch for year-round enjoyment, and roof deck access for sunrise and sunset viewing complete the outdoor living experience. The ground level of this home has several storage rooms, a garage door and space to expand upon the home or add additional storage space - the ideas are endless. The home has an elevator, efficient tankless hot water heater, updated stainless appliances, and dual HVAC system. Ample parking accommodates 8+ vehicles. Situated just one house from a private beach shared between an intimate enclave of residences, this home offers direct beach access without the chaos of crowded shore communities. A leisurely walk or bike ride delivers you to the vibrant Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk and Dewey Beach's legendary dining and entertainment scene-close enough for adventure, far enough for peace. Nestled within Silver Lake Dunes, an exclusive six-home enclave at the end of prestigious E. Lake Drive, this residence commands one of Delaware's most coveted positions. This isn't just a home. This was where generations gathered, where sunrises and sunsets became daily rituals, where the sound of waves and the shimmer of lake water provided the soundtrack to countless perfect days. For the family who built and lived here, this home was never just real estate-it was a legacy of memories. Now, it awaits the next chapter with a new family ready to honor its authentic spirit and timeless appeal. It's a rare coastal masterpiece-and an opportunity that truly may only come once.
