Welcome to this stunning 4,000 sq ft custom home, masterfully crafted by renowned builder Phillip Bradley and artfully designed by acclaimed architect John Mateyko. Perfectly positioned between the Atlantic Ocean and Rehoboth Bay, this extraordinary residence sits on an oversized, low-maintenance lot, offering sweeping views of the marsh and bay, with DEEDED BAY ACCESS, and just 1.5 blocks to the Ocean! Refined yet relaxed, the home blends timeless coastal charm with sophisticated modern living. The chef’s gourmet kitchen is a culinary masterpiece, featuring rich marble countertops, Ann Sacks sophisticated blue glass tile backsplash, top-of-the-line KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, including two ovens, 2 refrigerators, a food warming drawer, three dishwashers, and a spacious walk-in marble pantry that doubles as a fortified safe room. Enjoy relaxed dining on the screened porch or sip wine on the expansive deck while taking in breathtaking sunsets. The interior offers generous space for both entertainment and privacy, with a whole-house integrated music system, four beautifully appointed bedrooms, including an owner’s suite featuring a gas fireplace and sitting area, with stunning panoramic views of the water and coastal migratory birds. Host guests or relax in style across the inviting family room with gas fireplace, dining room, private den/media room, and enclosed porch with motorized retractable vinyl screens and a mahogany beadboard ceiling. Work from home in absolute tranquility from the third-floor office wing, which features three private office spaces and a conference room area with 10’ ceilings, all capturing spectacular bay vistas. After sun-soaked days on the water, refresh in your private outdoor shower or unwind in the custom sauna. Luxury finishes and structural integrity are found throughout, including Brazilian Koa hardwood floors, marble surfaces, high-quality wood plantation blinds throughout the house, a steam shower, a heated bathroom floor, a built-in makeup station with salon hairstyling drawer, and an elevator servicing all three levels. Designed for peace of mind, the home is clad in cedar siding, fitted with Andersen impact-resistant glazed windows and doors, and engineered to withstand winds up to 120 MPH. The safe room is built to endure Category 4 hurricanes. And the home is elevated 2 ft. above the 100-year flood elevation. This is more than a home—it is a rare opportunity to own an iconic coastal sanctuary where luxury meets resilience, and every detail has been meticulously crafted.
