    What's special

    Peaceful waterfront settingAward-winning architectureDistinctive architectureProfessionally redesigned landscapingJapanese-inspired designLuxury finishesSweeping panoramic views
    Few properties can offer a setting as extraordinary as this. Perfectly positioned as a coveted Pilot Point bayfront end unit adjacent to a beach-access boardwalk, this exceptional residence captures sweeping panoramic views that are among the finest on the Delmarva Peninsula—and arguably the entire East Coast. From nearly every room and both levels of the home, enjoy breathtaking vistas stretching from Cape Henlopen and both the Outer and Inner Breakwater Lighthouses to the Cape May-Lewes Ferry harbor, Lewes Beach, Broadkill Beach, and, on clear days, the New Jersey coastline. Completely reconstructed, including new pilings and structural framework, this remarkable property underwent nearly one million dollars in renovations- completed in 2022- and received the prestigious 2022 American Institute of Architects Design Award. Its distinctive architecture and thoughtful design were also featured in Delaware Today, recognizing the home's exceptional craftsmanship, Japanese-inspired design, and harmonious relationship with its spectacular waterfront setting. Inspired by the timeless architecture and design philosophy of Japan, the residence embraces clean lines, natural materials, intentional simplicity, and a seamless connection between interior living spaces and the surrounding coastal landscape. Every detail of the adaptable three-bedroom floor plan was thoughtfully designed with uncompromising attention to craftsmanship, functionality, and timeless coastal elegance. The home is being offered partially furnished and turnkey, allowing its next owner to immediately enjoy a truly one-of-a-kind waterfront lifestyle. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive, with professionally redesigned landscaping that beautifully complements the home's award-winning architecture and stunning natural surroundings. Just beyond your doorstep, the adjacent public beach-access boardwalk leads directly to the bay, where swimming, paddleboarding, kayaking, fishing, beachcombing, and unforgettable sunsets become part of everyday life. Complementing its peaceful waterfront setting, the property is ideally located less than one mile from the charming shops, restaurants, historic and canal front attractions of downtown Lewes, steps from the Junction & Breakwater Trail, and within walking distance of Cape Henlopen State Park. Offering an unparalleled combination of architectural significance, luxury finishes, and an irreplaceable location, this is a rare opportunity to own one of Lewes' most exceptional waterfront residences—an award-winning home where internationally inspired design meets one of the East Coast's most extraordinary waterfront settings. Bunk room can be utilized as one or two bedrooms by partitioning with the shoji screens. Also room on lower level with built in closets beside master could be partitioned for use as a bedroom.
