Experience the rare opportunity to own a stunning custom-built cedar-clad beach home in the exclusive North Shore section of Broadkill Beach. North Shore offers residents and guests-only PRIVATE beach access-peaceful, pristine, and never crowded, even on holiday weekends. Enjoy the beach by scenic boardwalk or via a 4WD/ATV entrance, where bonfires, surf fishing, dog walking, coolers, umbrellas, and tents are welcome year-round.
Set on an oversized …“-acre lot, this meticulously maintained home offers unobstructed views of the 10,000-acre Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, providing a tranquil and ever-changing backdrop of nature. Mature gardens filled with hydrangeas, roses, English boxwoods, and perennials create a lush, low-maintenance oasis thanks to the protective pine grove across the street.
Designed with light and space in mind, the three-level home features oversized windows, skylights, and an open floor plan that captures stunning views from nearly every room. The first level includes a large bedroom with walk-in closet, a luxurious full bath with a claw-foot soaking tub, and a spacious living and dining area with custom wainscoting. A mudroom and utility room with new washer/dryer complete this level-offering potential for an in-law suite or kitchenette conversion.
On the second level, a dramatic living room with 20-foot ceilings, marble fireplace, and two sliding glass doors opens to a wraparound deck overlooking the refuge and gardens. The adjoining dining area with built-in corner cupboard also connects to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The chef's kitchen features custom dovetailed cabinetry, quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and a hand-painted Folk Art mural by a local artist. The primary suite offers garden views, crown molding, and a spa-like bath with ceramic tile and walk-in shower.
The third level features two spacious bedrooms with high ceilings, ample closets, and a shared full
bath. Outdoors, multiple boardwalks, sitting areas, and water features provide serene spaces for relaxation or gatherings. A custom-built shed and outdoor shower with hot and cold water complement the home's design, while the white marble rock driveway accommodates up to five vehicles.
