What's special

Whole-house water filtration systemBuilt-in atmos surround soundEpoxy garage floorPremium lot

UNBEATABLE VALUE & QUICK MOVE-IN!! Do you love nature and want a private lot backing to open space? THIS IS THE PLACE! Built in 2024 like new. Why wait to build and pay for aftermarket upgrades? Priced below replacement cost - building the same home today would cost more. Annual taxes only $770!! Yes - you read that correctly $770/year! Upgraded Schell Brothers built home in Lightship Cove on a PREMIUM POND FRONT LOT that is also next to large open space with unbeatable sunsets (see the pics!) and tranquil pond, tree and fountain view - giving you maximum privacy. The trees behind the community are protected. Expanded Layout: 2-foot extensions in the living and dining rooms, plus a gourmet kitchen with a custom designer backsplash and extra storage under the island! Custom Screened Porch: Built with high-visibility "invisible" screening to maximize air flow and pond views. (It really makes a difference!) Luxury Extras: Primary closet organizers by California Closets, whole-house water filtration system, epoxy garage floor, and built-in Atmos surround sound in the family room. Location & Amenities: Located just 15 minutes to Downtown Lewes and Cape Henlopen beaches, under 1 mile to the Lewes-Georgetown Bike Trail, and close to Bayhealth Urgent Care. Take advantage of low Delaware taxes alongside resort-style amenities at The Beacon, including a pool, pickleball courts, tot lot, fire pit and crab shack. Smaller 97-home community (NOT 55+) designed for laid-back coastal living with scenic pond views and preservation land, avoiding the crowded feel of larger beach-area developments. Perfect home for those looking to downsized or start their new home journey in the beach area.
