Description

Walk in and say wow! New in 2004, this architectural award winner is designed around a heated pool tucked into an expansive private second-story deck. The bold, colorful interior is packed with unique, playful touches, high-tech lighting and decorative arts, creating a fun and refreshing counterpoint to the surrounding neutrals of sand and seascape.

Situated on Delaware’s southernmost island beach, just steps from the ocean, this house boasts three master suites, a bedroom with two sets of bunks, a bedroom with a set of twins, a den with a queen-size sleeper sofa, and a den with two (single) chair futons. Luxury appointments include natural hardwood floors, a complete home theater system, a wonderful open-concept kitchen with two refrigerators and two ovens, five TVs with DVD players, and a wet bar in the second-level den, adjacent to the pool.

Features and Amenities

Area Overview - Fenwick Island

Delaware’s southernmost beach destination, Fenwick Island is nestled between the Atlantic Ocean and Little Assawoman Bay. Defined by its natural boundaries, the quiet coastal community offers the best of both worlds, with just a few blocks separating the tranquil bay inlets and docks on one side and the ocean breakers and pristine beach on the other. Rare magic is defined at sunrise and sunset; at Fenwick Island, both can be viewed over the glistening waters of the Atlantic.

The best of both worlds aptly describes the atmosphere at Fenwick, too. A favorite among families and adult vacationers seeking escape from seaside kitsch and commercialism, Fenwick offers low-key, unspoiled beaches and recreational activities without isolation. You’ll find convenient access to shops, fine and casual dining, celebrated boardwalks and entertainment within minutes. Ocean City, Maryland, Fenwick’s action-packed antithesis lies just a few miles south.

For more than 75 years, Fenwick has been known as a fisherman’s paradise. You’ll see early risers on the beach at daybreak casting for bluefish, rockfish and flounder.For birdwatchers, hikers and other outdoor enthusiasts, the island boasts a 344-acre state park — one of the most beloved stretches of protected coastline on the Atlantic — complete with bathhouses, food service and handicap access to the beach.
