A look through the accompanying photos will confirm this is a house that must be
seen. The front of the house benefits from a front-row view of an island featuring
ponds, waterfalls, a wall of crepes, all lit each night. This is the entrance to a recently
completed and beautiful community, the Reserves at Ocean View. High on the assets
of this home is location: A bike ride to the beach, boardwalk and the stores of
Bethany Beach; A short walk to doctors, pharmacy, eye care, physical therapy, gas,
two grocery stores, liquor and plenty of ice cream shops! Walking! Two town
parks, and two state beaches are within a short drive. Within the Reserves is a
Clubhouse with exercise room, billiards room, community/game room, and
bathrooms convenient to the sun-drenched pool and splash zone.
The house is a 4-year old coastal contemporary on a cul-de-sac. Also high on the list
of this home’s features, but low on visibility is a 28-panel solar system that is
mounted on the back side of the roof, and not apparent from the street. This system
will make mincemeat of your electric bill. There’s plenty of room to park on the
driveway. Walk down the curving paver sidewalk past recently planted landscape
beds. A welcoming foyer and hall leads you beyond a dining room featuring a trey
ceiling and large windows that look towards the island. Walk past the stairway to
the open heart of the home. A large great room with no less than 6 large windows
with plantation shutters, then a gourmet kitchen with custom tile backsplash and
oversized island. Another component of the open plan is a morning room, good for
games, quiet conversation or dining. The primary bedroom and en-suite tiled bath
are on the first floor, as are a guest bedroom, another tiled bathroom and a
bedroom/office/flex room. Walk upstairs to a bedroom with custom drapes and a
next-door full bath. Then turn to the most spacious “extra” room you’ve ever seen:
carpeted, with a walk-in closet and windows on three sides, earning it the title of
sunniest room in the house.
This is all before you get outside the house. A 9’X12’ storage shed had been added
for bikes, tools and an exit from the garage. Do your grilling on the back deck, just off
the kitchen, with plenty of room for friends and family. Down the deck steps to a
circular paver patio surrounded by perennial gardens and flowering trees. Deck
lights, stairway lights and landscape lighting make for safe and comfortable entertaining.
