About This Home

As of April 2025

Welcome to 8475 New Hope, a stunning craftsman-style retreat set on a secluded 2-acre lot overlooking a tranquil pond. Offering the perfect blend of privacy and natural beauty, this picturesque home provides a peaceful escape while remaining just 20 minutes from both Ocean City and Salisbury. Thoughtfully designed to harmonize timeless elegance with modern comfort, this exceptional property is a true sanctuary. A long, circular driveway and mature landscaping set the stage for the striking curb appeal. The home’s exterior showcases multiple gabled peaks, shake siding, stone accents, and a welcoming covered front porch—an idyllic spot to enjoy peaceful morning coffee. A spacious side-entry two-car garage seamlessly integrates into the home’s design. Step through the handsome double wooden entry door with a transom window above into an inviting foyer that exudes warmth and sophistication. The main living areas are graced with beautiful wood-look porcelain tile flooring, enhancing both style and durability.
The heart of the home is the expansive gourmet kitchen, a true showpiece featuring gleaming quartz countertops, a chic tile backsplash, craftsman-style white soft close cabinetry with elegant crown molding and under-cabinet lighting. A sprawling island offers plenty of space for casual dining and entertaining, while high-end appliances—including a convection cooktop, range hood, and wall oven —cater to the most discerning chefs. Thoughtful details, such as two appliance garages—one on the countertop and another tucked within the island with a pull-out and pull-up mechanism—keep the space both functional and pristine. A dining area bathed in natural light sits adjacent to the kitchen, highlighted by a statement chandelier. Just down the hall, a walk-in pantry offers even more convenient storage options. The open-concept design flows effortlessly into the spacious living room, where floor-to-ceiling windows frame calming views of the countryside and pond. A striking coffered ceiling and a dramatic stacked-stone fireplace add warmth and character, while a set of transom doors leads to the front covered porch, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor living experience. The main-level primary suite is a private oasis, complete with a tray ceiling, a generous walk-in c custom closet featuring built-in shelving, hanging spaces and drawers. The spa-like en suite bath has modern tiled flooring, dual vanities and a custom walk-in tiled shower. Also on this level, the well-appointed laundry room is outfitted with an Energy Star LG ThinQ washer and dryer, as well as built-in storage lockers, offering both convenience and organization. A private home office exudes sophistication with elegant wainscoting that add character to the space and provides the perfect space for remote work. A stylish powder bath completes the first floor. A beautifully crafted turned staircase leads to the upper level, where a large family room provides the perfect space for game nights and movie marathons. Two additional bedrooms—one with an en suite bath—offer comfortable accommodations, while a spacious exercise room provides the flexibility for a home gym or hobby space. This exceptional property features an energy-efficient geothermal system, providing year-round comfort with lower utility costs and environmentally friendly heating and cooling. The property is also equipped with four hardwired security cameras, providing added peace of mind. Outdoor living is just as spectacular, with a charming porch off the kitchen leading down to a handsome paver patio, perfect for summer gatherings. The property is also equipped with four hardwired security cameras, providing added peace of mind.
