27279 18TH BOULEVARD

If you've been searching for that contemporary, coastal, custom home that can easily host a multi-generational family reunion and yet can easily be enjoyed as a cozy and intimate retreat, perfect for a couple's relaxed life-style, welcome home. Ideally sited on a coveted premium lot with expansive water views of protected wetlands and the Peninsula's championship golf course, this sensitively designed home marries distinctive architectural features with nature's beauty, offering a front row seat for close-ups of Delaware's native wildlife.
The professionally landscaped front yard cottage garden greets you upon arrival. It's anchored by two River Birch trees and alive with colorful native perennial and pollinator plants, stone accents and low voltage lighting to create night-time drama. Once inside the spacious foyer, includes many custom architectural details, like board and batten wainscoting, shiplap accents, coffered and tray ceiling designs, crown moldings, and wide-plank, hand-scraped hickory hardwood flooring. Window treatments include remote-controlled, hard-wired, pirouette electronic shades and contemporary 2 1/2" blade shutters. Designer light fixtures enhance the home's coastal charm. Sonos built-in ceiling speakers allow you to play whatever music your heart desires. The great room's exceptional features include a dramatic two-story wall of windows that flood the home with natural light and a soaring two-story stacked stone gas fireplace flanked by custom built-in cabinetry accented with lighted display shelves behind glass paneled doors.
The first floor boasts two primary suites. The main owner's suite, a tranquil retreat focused on the spectacular views, features a sitting area, tray ceiling, a shiplap accent wall, dual custom walk-in closets, and a large spa-inspired bath. The second owner's suite features a wall of windows offering sweeping views of the golf course, wetlands, local wildlife and also has a walk-in closet and an ensuite bath. Centrally located as part of the great room, the kitchen is anchored by a generous quartz-surfaced island faced in shiplap, providing a natural gathering spot. GE Monogram stainless steel appliances, including a 48" side-by-side refrigerator, a six-burner gas range and a suite of professional grade appliances that complete the space. Soft-close custom 42" cabinets are topped with lighted display areas that add another unique design detail. Two pantries, one a walk-in, and a large farmhouse sink enhance the kitchen's easy functionality.
Whether you're ready to relax on the family-sized screened-in porch with coffee or cocktails to watch the wildlife and golfers, or to entertain a boisterous crowd, the 30' long deck adds extra space to accommodate everyone. You may decide to take advantage of the space below the deck to add an outdoor kitchen, additional seating, a garden bursting with herbs and cutting flowers, or even a private pool.
The carpeted staircase leading to the second floor is lined with shiplap wainscoting to protect the wall from the possibility of visitors' luggage scrapes. A generous loft space, central to the second floor with an extra-large walk-in storage closet, provides a welcoming area for family gathering and games. The rest of the second floor continues the home's thoughtful coastal design with four additional bedrooms, three of which have walk-in closets and enjoy ensuite baths. One of the baths is designed to serve two bedrooms and the loft. The largest bedroom also includes a sitting area and an "office" area outfitted with high-speed internet access to support remote work.
The multi-zoned, fully-carpeted finished basement offers another entirely separate gathering space complete with surround sound in the TV area, a pool table area, a game and party area and plenty of additional open space for the-sky's-the-limit family entertainment possibilities. In addition, the basement contains three large storage rooms
