Description

Architecturally stunning describes this designer getaway in “The Pines” neighborhood of Rehoboth Beach. Perfectly positioned within .25-mile of the ocean, this exceptional home is a superlative blend of an ideal coastal setting, timeless style, coastal sophistication, and energy efficiency. The property comprises a main home, guest cottage and detached garage designed by the award-winning SEA Studio architecture firm and constructed by Beachwood in 2019. Situated on an oversized 75’x 100’ parcel, the main house of 38 Oak Avenue features 3,229 sf of heated living space including 4 bedrooms, 4 full baths, 2 half baths, casually elegant living spaces, and a fully finished basement. Upon entry, clean lines, neutral color schemes, tasteful décor and floor to ceiling windows make a dramatic impression. Floating, reclaimed wood shelving, exposed beams, wide plank hardwood flooring, and shiplap accents are just a few of the elements carried throughout the home. The gourmet kitchen is complete with a commercial grade 6+ burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigeration, dual dishwashers, dual sinks, wine fridge, oversized island, and crisp, white quartz counters. The kitchen area is connected to the natural environment by an oversized glass door which opens to a cypress deck perfect for alfresco dining overlooking the meticulously landscaped yard. The first level living room is very comfortable with a gas fireplace and NanaWall system that leads to the cozy screened porch. The second level is host to 4 bedrooms complete with beautifully tiled en-suite baths, and the lower level is host to a media room, home gym, laundry room, and half bath. The separate 370 sf guest house consists of a beautiful living area, 1 bedroom, 1 full bath, laundry, sleeping loft, and kitchenette. The exterior features include an elevated deck, fire pit area, dual outdoor showers, privacy fencing, exquisite landscaping with lighting, ample parking, and detached garage for all your beach toys. While this home is visually striking the systems are equally impressive. The solar system offsets the home’s energy consumption, Sonos sound, and the Control4 smart home technology allows the owner to manage the systems of the home remotely. This award-winning home offers extreme convenience to Rehoboth’s gorgeous beaches, state parks, boardwalk, restaurants, and all the amenities of downtown. This home will certainly leave a lasting impression!

    "Very dog friendly area, almost everyone says hi to the dogs. They pet shops almost everywhere and mobile groomers are an option too. we just don’t have a dog park that’s a little cheaper than the one in Lewes. NY has dog parks that are free which is really great. "

    "I think rehoboth May have started out as, or had recently been kind of a popular retirement area, so the population seems to to be very geriatric. There are some younger couples around town and I do see children, but not as many I am used to seeing in Berlin, MD where I lived previously. The area does seem to be safe as far as crime rates and criminal activity goes, but the traffic here is almost absurd. Outlet markets are everywhere and people come to rehoboth in swarms to shop "
