Description

Welcome to your dream coastal retreat! This stunning 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath masterpiece is tucked away in the prestigious North Rehoboth community known as The Pines, just steps from Rehoboth Avenue and 5 blocks from the ocean and boardwalk. Every inch of this home has been designed for luxurious living and effortless entertaining, blending modern elegance with the relaxed charm of beach life. From the moment you step inside, the soaring 9’ ceilings, gleaming Hickory hardwood floors, and natural light set the stage for an extraordinary living experience. The gourmet kitchen is a showstopper—featuring a professional Miele 6-burner range with griddle, stainless steel hood, built-in multi-function microwave, Bosch dishwasher, deep stainless sink, Marvel wine chiller, and even a keg-orator for craft beverages at home. Custom cabinetry, solid surface countertops, and a large island with breakfast bar make this the true heart of the home, while the dining room frames picturesque views of the backyard pool. The spacious great room dazzles with shiplap accents, exposed beams, crown molding, and a cozy brick-surround gas fireplace—perfect for gathering and entertaining guests. Upstairs, the owner’s suite is a private sanctuary with a tray ceiling, shiplap feature wall, dual closets, and a spa-inspired marble bathroom with a glass shower with built-in bench and dual vanities. Slide open the doors to your private balcony and soak in the serene views of your backyard oasis. Three additional bedrooms —including a luxurious ensuite and two that share a designer full bath with a glass-enclosed shower and dual vanities—ensure comfort for all. The outdoor spaces are just as breathtaking, with a screened-in front porch and a fully fenced backyard that feels like your own resort. Take a dip in the heated 12.5’ x 25’ saltwater pool, rinse off in the outdoor shower, prep your fresh catch at the fish cleaning station, and enjoy the professionally landscaped setting. Additional features include a 1-car garage, spacious coat closet, full basement with laundry and sitting area plus plenty of storage, tankless hot water, and a 2-zone hvac system. Only 6 years young, this home is a rare opportunity in one of Rehoboth’s most desirable locations. Bike to Junction & Breakwater Trail and check out the canal transportation dock with kayak launch, stroll to Deauville Beach with tennis courts, or walk to the vibrant restaurants, shops, and nightlife downtown. This is more than a home—it’s a lifestyle, and it’s waiting for you.
