Secluded Waterfront Oasis with Private Dock! Tucked away on a cul-de-sac in Ocean View, this stunning 5 bedroom, 4.5 bath retreat is all about the views - panoramic water vistas from nearly every window. Nestled along the shores of White’s Creek, which is recently dredged, this home is a dream for boaters, kayakers, paddleboarders, and nature lovers alike. Watch herons glide across the water from your 70-foot private pier or unwind on the newly expanded screened porch and deck, featuring maintenance-free decking and railings. You’ll practically live on this porch, it’s that perfect! Designed for entertaining and relaxation, the waterfront backyard and hardscape patio are a showstopper with uplighting, a firepit, and outdoor kitchen area. There’s even space for a plunge pool. After a day on the water or on the beach, rinse off in the outdoor shower—a summertime essential. The irrigation system keeps the landscaping looking its best. Inside, the open-concept design fills the home with natural light, allowing you to soak in those breathtaking views while still offering plenty of private spaces to relax and unwind. The fully renovated kitchen is a blend of classsic beauty and special touches, boasting a Thermador gas range, quartz marble countertops, a cast iron apron sink, open shelving, wine fridge and custom lighting. The stunning backsplash adds a perfect finishing touch. Elegant hardwood floors and a custom stair runner add warmth and character, while solid wood doors and custom window treatments elevate the space. A gas fireplace completes the cozy yet sophisticated living area. The main level features one of two ensuite primary bedrooms, offering more incredible water views, a slider to the waterfront deck, and a walk-in closet. A second bedroom on this level, currently used as a comfortable den with built-ins, provides additional flexibility. Upstairs, the spacious landing overlooks the living and dining rooms, leading to two guest bedrooms and a hall bath. The main primary suite is lovely, with a wraparound waterfront balcony, walk-in closet and bath featuring a tiled shower and jacuzzi tub. The lower level is the perfect retreat, with spacious recreation room and a separate family room, ideal for hosting guests or enjoying game or movie nights. The oversized 2.5-car garage provides ample storage for all your beach and boating gear. All this, just minutes from the beach, restaurants, shopping, John West Park, and Assawoman Canal Trail. This magical setting is coastal living at its finest.
