About This Home

As of September 2025

One-of-a-Kind FEE SIMPLE-NO CONDO DUES-Luxury Townhome in the Heart of Dewey Beach.
This extraordinary, completely reimagined residence has been renovated to the highest standards—no expense spared and no detail overlooked. This is the only townhome in the community with this unique, custom-designed layout. Every inch of space has been thoughtfully utilized to create the most functional and stylish home possible. Featuring 4 spacious bedrooms, a loft with two queen beds, 2 full baths, and 1 half bath, all fully tiled, updated, and sparkling. The custom kitchen is a chef’s dream, complete with quartz countertops, two refrigerators, new stainless steel appliances, a water filtration system, and an open floor plan that flows seamlessly into the living and dining areas. A large wet bar makes entertaining effortless, also equipped with its own water filtration system. Step outside to the 15' x 20' rear deck—perfect for gatherings—or rinse off after the beach in the outdoor shower. The property comes fully furnished, so you can move right in and start enjoying coastal life. Major updates completed in the last 3 years include a new roof, windows, doors, water heater, and even a new foundation. The home has been renovated down to the studs, with the crawlspace fully encapsulated and dehumidifiers installed within the walls throughout for superior climate control. High-end touches include Schluter Ditra under all tile for durability and comfort, Trex decking, and an electric car charger. Additional highlights: Bay views from the third floor
Large bedrooms for comfortable living
Encapsulated crawlspace with advanced moisture control
Outside shower
Just 2 blocks from The Starboard and 3 blocks from the beach.
Walk to restaurants, shops, and everything Dewey Beach has to offer
This is more than a home—it’s a luxury coastal lifestyle. Turnkey, fully renovated, and ideally located, it’s truly one of Dewey Beach’s finest offerings. This unit has never been rented under the current owner, but many of the units in this community get $5,000 to $5,600 per week during summer months.
