About This Home

As of September 2025

Welcome Home to Paradise!
Just over 2,000 feet from the wide, sandy shores of South Bethany Beach and nestled along a serene canal with direct bay access, this stunning home truly offers the best of both worlds. Whether you're boating or paddling from your backyard dock or strolling to the beach with a good book and a chair, your hardest decision of the day might be choosing which to enjoy first... or doing both!
Built in 2015 by the renowned Charlie Zonko in one of his final masterful projects, this home is a true gem. Impeccably maintained and in pristine, like-new condition, its high-end finishes and tasteful design create a luxurious yet relaxed coastal retreat. It's a place where you can unwind, recharge, and make lasting memories with friends and loved ones.
The home is thoughtfully designed across three levels, all connected by a spacious elevator for ultimate convenience. The third floor is the heart of the home, featuring the main living areas and a gourmet kitchen outfitted with top-tier Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances. High ceilings, expansive windows, and sliding doors flood the space with light and frame beautiful views of the canal below.
Gather in the open-concept great room by the wood-burning fireplace, enjoy cocktails at the wet bar with wine fridge, or dine al fresco on the screened porch or open deck—perfect for catching sunrises, sunsets, and the peaceful sounds of the water.
The second floor is designed for comfort and privacy, featuring:
A second primary suite with en-suite bath
Two additional bright and spacious bedrooms
A shared full bath
A bonus living area with a wet bar and microwave
Access to a large deck overlooking the backyard and canal
On the first floor, you'll find a beautifully tiled foyer, generous storage, and convenient access to the outdoor shower—ideal for beach days.
Throughout the home, you’ll find real hardwood flooring, plush carpeting in the bedrooms, and elegant tilework in the bathrooms and some common areas. Every detail speaks to craftsmanship, comfort, and class.
Whether as a year-round residence or a seasonal escape, this home is a showplace designed for those who appreciate the finer things. Come make your beach dreams come true. Live the Lifestyle You Deserve!
