About This Home
As of May 2023Looking for luxury at the beach? Look at this beautiful, waterfront Schell Brother’s Athena home which is perfectly positioned near a quiet cul-de-sac in the popular Ocean View community of Sunset Harbour! Just 1.5 miles from Bethany Beach and situated on the White Creek Canal where you will experience incredible sunsets and spectacular sweeping water views!
The character and charm of this four-bedroom, five bath home is showcased by landscaped grounds, multiple balconies in the front and back, and an attractive coastal style exterior. Water access is easy, just step out your back door to your own private boat dock where you can imagine the family boating trips, kayaking, jet skiing, swimming, crabbing, and fun filled summer days!
The interior living space has been thoughtfully designed in this three-story home accessible by an elevator to all levels. The top-level provides a stellar vantage point of the surrounding scenery, water and coastal habitat views from a private screened porch overlooking the canal. Enjoy an open concept layout combining the dining area, living room and a spacious kitchen which is ideal for everyday living and seamless entertaining. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, 42” inch warm wood toned cabinets, under counter lighting, stainless steel appliances, a gas range and a central entertainer’s island with a breakfast bar for casual meals. Adjacent to the kitchen is a lovely guest room with an ensuite bath and a private balcony offering fabulous water views. Take the turned-staircase downstairs to a spacious home office area embellished by a soaring vaulted ceiling, an impressive feature ceiling fan and custom built-ins. The second level hosts three additional bedrooms, two with water view balconies, including the primary bedroom with an ensuite bath.
The lower level of the home offers more living and entertaining options with a spacious family room, full bath and laundry room. Transition through transom glass sliding doors to an expansive wrap-around deck complete with a retractable awning, outdoor shower and access to the heat-resistant dock. This exceptional home also features a north-side storm shutter and a security system.
Residents of Sunset Harbour have access to a beautiful community pool and clubhouse, complete with fishing/crabbing pier and boat ramp. A boater’s paradise with easy access to the bay and ocean. Enjoy a short bike ride or drive to Bethany Beach, Delaware’s State Park trails and a fun boat ride to sand bars and restaurants on the intercoastal waterway from Lewes down to Ocean City – coastal living at its best!
