Welcome to 35167 Helmsman Way, a beautifully maintained coastal contemporary residence in the sought-after Millsboro community of Stonewater Creek. Nestled on a ½ acre lot with a backdrop of mature trees, this secluded spot offers proximity to Long Neck, Millsboro, Georgetown, and miles of Delaware coastlines. The covered front porch invites you to explore the many features of this home. Inside, the gracious foyer provides glimpses of the architectural details and finishes found throughout, including rich brown hand-scraped hardwood floors, crown molding, and tray ceilings. The open floor plan of the great room is perfect for entertaining family and friends. The gourmet kitchen is a chef's and baker's delight, featuring 42” custom, crown-topped cabinetry, a glass mosaic tile backsplash, granite countertops, and a suite of stainless-steel appliances, including a gas cooktop, microwave, French-door refrigerator with base freezer, and full-size double wall oven. The center prep island, highlighted by pendant lighting, is ideal for displaying your baked goodies. Enjoy casual meals at the breakfast bar, host a dinner party in the dining area, or take the party outside to the elevated deck for al fresco dining under the stars. The sunroom is a welcome spot to enjoy panoramic nature views while enjoying your morning coffee. The two-story expanse of the living room is accented by celestial windows and made cozy by a gas fireplace. Retreat to the generous primary bedroom, offering a walk-in closet and ensuite featuring a dual vanity, deep soaking tub, luxurious stall shower with bench, and a private water closet. The home also includes two additional guest bedrooms, a hall bathroom, a private office, and a spacious laundry room with interior access to the oversized garage—all on the main level. A grand staircase in the great room leads to the substantial loft family room flex space, perfect for watching movies, playing games, or pursuing new hobbies. This level also includes a full bath, the home's fourth bedroom, and abundant walk-in storage/attic areas and closets. Originally this home had two bedrooms upstairs and the space was opened up. The bedroom currently is being used as a sewing room and sellers are willing to remove the cabinetry if desired. Located just 11 miles from Rehoboth and Lewes, Stonewater Creek offers an array of amenities, including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, playground, dog park, clubhouse, and fitness center. With proximity to Baywood Greens public golf club, restaurants, shopping, and pristine beaches, don't miss the opportunity to experience the sheer delight of this coastal retreat.
