Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a distinctive custom residence offering approximately 4,200 square feet of beautifully designed living space on 3.5 private acres in Ocean View. Thoughtfully designed and exceptionally well built, the home combines privacy, gracious one-level living, and remarkable flexibility. CR-1 zoning and an existing shared DelDOT entrance offer possibilities for residential use, business use, or a combination of both. Despite its private setting, the property is a short walk from Good Earth Market & Restaurant for coffee, lunch, dinner, and groceries, as well as Dickens Parlour Theatre. A long gravel drive winds through the wooded setting before opening to a beautifully designed circular parking area accented by a stone paver inlay. Brick steps lead to a welcoming covered front porch with a classic brick floor and custom beveled-glass Simpson entry door. Designed primarily for one-level living, the home is warm, open, and filled with natural light. Generously proportioned living and dining spaces feature a gas fireplace, custom built-in cabinetry and bookcases, and a built-in bar with glass-front cabinetry. An abundance of windows frames views of the surrounding trees and gardens, bringing the outside in. At the heart of the home is an expansive kitchen designed for serious cooking, relaxed everyday living, and entertaining. Legacy all-wood cabinetry, including extensive glass-front display cabinetry, is paired with honed limestone countertops, high-end appliances, a six-burner gas range, wine refrigerator, second sink, and large center island. Centered within a charming custom tile inlay set into the oak flooring, the island creates a natural gathering place. A custom Dutch door opens directly to the screened porch. Spacious enough for living and dining, the screened porch features a vaulted beadboard ceiling, cedar-shingle walls, and peaceful woodland views. Multiple decks extend the living spaces outdoors, while a professionally designed Japanese-inspired garden adds beauty and tranquility to the private grounds. The expansive primary suite is a private retreat with a sitting room wrapped in rich wood paneling and featuring extensive built-in bookcases, display cabinetry, and a Vermont Castings wood stove. The spacious primary bath includes a long double vanity, freestanding soaking tub, oversized glass-enclosed shower, extensive cabinetry, and a wall of windows overlooking the trees. An oversized walk-in closet and private balcony overlooking the gardens complete the suite. Two additional main-level bedrooms share a thoughtfully designed Jack-and-Jill bath. The partial second floor offers a spacious family room, additional bedroom, and full bath. Accessible from both the main residence and its own private entrance, this flexible space is ideal for guests, extended family, a home office, studio, or potential rental use. Built in 2004 with 2x6 exterior walls, exceptional insulation, and cedar perfection-shingle siding, the home features Andersen windows with transoms, 3¼-inch select oak flooring, substantial custom millwork, detailed moldings, five-piece window and door trim, solid-core JELD-WEN interior doors, and oil-rubbed bronze hardware. The quality and craftsmanship give the home a sense of substance and permanence that would be difficult to reproduce today. Additional features include a three-car garage with carriage-style doors, central vacuum with automatic dustpan, gas grill connection, encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier, three new HVAC systems, a 2025 Rinnai tankless water heater, private shared well, and oversized septic system. With 3.5 private acres, there is ample room to envision an incredible pool and outdoor retreat while preserving the beauty of the wooded setting. Casually elegant and beautifully crafted, this home feels both substantial and welcoming—a rare combination of acreage, privacy, quality, flexible living space, and CR-1 zoning.
