About This Home

As of December 2025

Welcome to 37454 3rd St, an extraordinary custom-built residence in the sought-after waterfront community of Bay Vista. Designed with timeless architecture, refined detail, and every modern convenience, this four-level home offers over 4,300 square feet of coastal luxury with sweeping views of the Rehoboth Bay and Canal. Built in 2009 and meticulously maintained, it was crafted for elegance and everyday comfort. From the grand foyer with wide-plank hardwood floors, elegant moldings, and soaring ceilings, natural light pours through oversized windows, drawing attention to water views from multiple vantage points. An elevator connects 3 levels, providing convenience and accessibility for groceries, luggage, or simply enjoying the ease of multi-level living. The main level features a spacious living room anchored by a gas fireplace and custom built-ins—perfect for quiet evenings or lively gatherings. A coastal-inspired dining area flows seamlessly into the gourmet kitchen, equipped with premium stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, a designer tile backsplash, double wall ovens, and an expansive peninsula with bar seating. A walk-in pantry and extensive custom cabinetry maximize storage, while the open design ensures the kitchen is as social as it is functional. Additional living spaces across multiple levels provide flexibility for any lifestyle, from media rooms and lounges to private offices or play areas. A ground-level suite with wet bar and additional stove creates the ultimate entertainment hub. Multiple decks extend living outdoors, offering the perfect perch for morning coffee, afternoon sun, or toasting vibrant sunsets over the bay. Private quarters include five generously sized bedrooms, each with en-suite bath. The primary suite is a retreat with tray ceiling, sitting area, expansive walk-ins, and a spa-inspired bathroom featuring dual vanities, makeup station, soaking tub, and large walk-in shower. Two additional half-baths add convenience for family and guests. Outdoors, a heated in-ground pool with waterfall feature and large gas fire pit are the focal point, surrounded by a spacious patio, two custom outdoor showers, and a fully equipped kitchen for effortless al fresco dining. Professionally landscaped grounds, multiple decks, and serene bay breezes create an unmatched coastal oasis. Practical touches include an oversized two-car garage, zoned central air, propane heat, and a tankless water heater. Upscale finishes—recessed lighting, crown molding, and premium materials—reflect the home’s enduring quality, while a fire suppression system adds peace of mind. Bay Vista offers tranquility along the water while remaining just minutes from Rehoboth Beach. Downtown restaurants, shops, and galleries are five minutes away, while the iconic Boardwalk and beach are less than two miles from your front door. Local marinas nearby open the door to endless boating and water adventures, and with no HOA, the freedom and flexibility are rare. 37454 3rd St is more than a residence—it is a lifestyle. Mornings begin with the beauty of the bay, afternoons unfold by the pool or on the beach, and evenings end with glowing sunsets over the water. Whether envisioned as a year-round residence, a vacation retreat, or a luxury rental, this home offers location, craftsmanship, and timeless coastal value.
