Coastal Comfort East of Route 1: Enjoy the best of coastal Delaware in this beautifully maintained residence, perfectly situated in the sought-after Hawkseye community. An inviting front porch sets the stage for a bright, open-concept interior where expansive windows frame serene views of the mature, park-like grounds. Designed for modern living, the home features a popular split-bedroom floor plan that provides a private primary suite retreat well-separated from the guest wing. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen and living area, offering a seamless flow for everyday comfort, complemented by a dedicated office ideal for remote work or a quiet hobby space. A bright and airy sunroom extends the living space and provides the perfect setting to relax and enjoy peaceful backyard views year-round. The living area continues outdoors to a wonderful back deck and patio, creating a private oasis within the fenced backyard for grilling, alfresco dining, or relaxing in the coastal breeze. The professionally landscaped grounds are enhanced by an irrigation system with a private well, helping maintain the lush setting with ease. Storage is never an issue thanks to the oversized three-car garage, which easily accommodates vehicles, a workshop, and all your beach essentials. Located in a premier location East of Route 1, you are just minutes from the Junction & Breakwater Trail, the historic charm of downtown Lewes, and the vibrant beaches and boardwalk of Rehoboth. Whether you are seeking a full-time residence or a luxurious coastal retreat, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy, functionality, and proximity to everything the Delaware coast has to offer.
