Elevated coastal living defines this exceptional Schell Brothers Craftsman style home, where an extraordinary collection of luxury upgrades, beautifully curated finishes, and expansive living spaces come together against a spectacular natural backdrop. Classic Craftsman architecture is given a refined coastal presence with welcoming dormers, standing-seam metal roof accents, and a covered entry. Inside, the attention to detail continues with soaring ceilings, seamless luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, a serene neutral palette, and premium fixtures that immediately establish the level of finish found throughout the home. The main level centers around an expansive kitchen, dining area, and great room, where walls of windows capture beautiful views toward Fresh Pond State Park with no rear neighbors. The chef’s kitchen is exceptionally appointed with a Sub-Zero refrigerator, six-burner Wolf gas range, oversized center island with seating, crisp white double-stacked cabinetry with illuminated display cabinets, and a sophisticated gray subway tile backsplash. The pantry is further enhanced with a custom storage system. A designer lighting fixture distinguishes the dining area, while the great room is anchored by a striking fireplace feature wall with mantel, custom cabinetry, and built-in shelving. The main-level primary suite offers impressive scale and a spa-inspired ensuite bath with dual vanities, extensive cabinetry, an oversized tiled walk-in shower, and two walk-in closets. Additional main-level spaces include a dedicated office with tray ceiling, recessed lighting, and built-in window seating; a laundry room; guest powder room; and an entry closet also outfitted with custom organization. A screened porch with vaulted ceiling and skylights takes full advantage of the private setting and tranquil views, while the adjoining deck features a high-end grill with dedicated gas-line hookup. An extra-wide staircase leads to the upper level, where a generous landing with a built-in window reading nook transitions to an expansive loft/flex space overlooking the great room. A separate TV/family room offers a dedicated entertainment experience with surround sound and a 100-inch home theater system. The second floor primary suite is appointed to a similarly high standard, with a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, beautiful views, two walk-in closets, and a private ensuite featuring dual vanities and a tiled walk-in shower with built-in bench. Two additional bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet, share a full hall bath. The upgrades extend well beyond the primary living spaces. The immaculate extended garage features a custom organization system with slat walls and storage cabinetry, complemented by a durable Polyaspartic epoxy floor coating. Additional enhancements include custom window treatments with motorized shades, HydroShield treatment throughout, a reverse-osmosis water system, two Toto toilets, extensive upgraded lighting and fixtures, and an inground landscape irrigation system. Offered mostly furnished with select exclusions, the home is exceptionally well equipped and truly turnkey. Located in Marlin Chase, an intimate Schell Brothers community of just 75 homes in Ocean View, residents enjoy a clubhouse, pool, pickleball court, dog park, playgrounds, walking trails, and a picturesque pond with fountains. Just minutes from Delaware’s beaches, dining, and recreation, this extensively upgraded residence stands apart for its thoughtful customization, premium finishes, and impressive collection of enhancements, equally suited for sophisticated year-round living or a refined coastal retreat.
