Property Description
UNMATCHED TRANQUILITY MEETS MODERN CONVENIENCE MEETS INCREDIBLE STYLE! THE PERFECT BEACH RETREAT! Discover your dream home nestled between the beautiful Delaware Bay and the awe-inspiring Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. This enchanting paradise boasts an expansive dock and a charming boathouse, perfect for all your boating adventures. Meticulously custom designed, the award-winning landscaping creates an unparalleled wildlife utopia, offering a truly unique and captivating environment. Unwind by the fire pit, surrounded by large quarry boulders serving as seating that has been carved out of nature. From this cozy vantage point, you will most definitely embrace the beauty and tranquility this idyllic sanctuary delivers. And that is all before you even get inside the house! Upon entering the home, you'll be struck by the abundance of natural light and sense of air that floods the space, creating a serene and peaceful atmosphere. From the moment you step inside, all your day's troubles will simply disappear. Every room in the home offers stunning views of the water and Refuge. Four spacious outdoor porches - each uniquely designed - envelopes and invites you to sit and savor the beautiful sounds of nature. The two-story great room showcases the built-in bookcases and a gas fireplace and seamlessly flows into the kitchen and dining area. Your galley kitchen features a commercial Viking range grotto, ideal for entertaining and crafting culinary delights, and also includes a spacious granite island that offers ample seating, creating a blend of comfort and functionality. The main level also includes a spacious laundry/work room, a full bath, a guest bedroom and a second space (with deck access) currently used as a TV/family room space. French doors lead to the third-floor expansive primary suite, featuring a gorgeous & spacious bathroom complete with a luxurious soaking tub and oversized walk-in shower. In addition, there are 2 walk-in closets and a kitchenette that provides the convenience for your morning coffee or refreshing beverage before relaxing on your upper deck to take in an ever-changing vista, with views that are simply breathtaking! On the ground level, you will find plenty of storage and dedicated space to cater to all your boating, birding, fishing or outdoor needs, inclusive of a generous area for parking 2 vehicles. A versatile room can be transformed into a crafting room or a workshop, offering endless possibilities for your creative needs. This exceptional and unparalleled property is located on Broadkill Beach in the charming fishing town of "Beach Plum". Broadkill Beach is set apart from other beach communities, with almost zero traffic - which is not standard in other beach towns. It's like being in a private beach community - especially on the South end. The public beach paths are not marked with signage, so beach access is only known to the residents in each block. You will find yourself on the beach…and the only footprints you will see are your own! To truly appreciate its splendor, you'll want to experience this property in person.
