Impeccable coastal Craftsman architecture, more than 6,000 square feet of beautifully finished living space, and an extraordinary pond-front setting define this exceptional Schell Brothers Chesapeake home in sought-after Welches Pond. Classic dormers, board-and-batten detailing, standing-seam metal roof accents, and a gracious covered front porch create a striking first impression, while a side-entry two-car garage maintains the home’s polished curb appeal. Inside, impressive scale is balanced by warm, inviting spaces designed for both everyday living and entertaining. The main level centers around a spectacular two-story family room, where a soaring stone fireplace, custom built-ins, and a dramatic wall of windows frame sweeping views of the landscaped grounds and fountain-dotted ponds. The adjoining kitchen features warm wood soft-close cabinetry, granite countertops, display cabinetry, gas cooktop, tile backsplash, generous center island with seating, and walk-in pantry. A spacious dining room continues the views and includes a custom wet bar with wine storage and additional cabinetry. The main-level primary suite offers two walk-in closets and a spacious ensuite with soaking tub, walk-in shower, separate vanities, private water closet, and patterned tile flooring. A second main-level bedroom suite with private bath and walk-in closet provides exceptional flexibility. A dedicated office, powder room, and mudroom/laundry complete the main level. Upstairs, an open loft overlooks the family room, while three additional bedroom suites each offer a private bath and walk-in closet. A second office/flex room opens to a private deck overlooking the ponds. The fully finished walkout lower level expands the living space with areas for media, gaming and recreation, a substantial built-in wet bar, full bath, and additional bedroom. Outdoor living is truly exceptional. A multi-tiered terrace overlooking the ponds features a stone fireplace, dedicated dining and gathering spaces, cocktail pool, outdoor shower, extensive landscape lighting, in ground irrigation system with separate well, and screened porch, creating a remarkable setting for indoor-outdoor living. Welches Pond residents enjoy a clubhouse, outdoor pool, fitness center, indoor and outdoor bars, game room, pavilion, pickleball, tennis and basketball courts, parks, walking paths, hammocks, gazebos, and a kayak launch on Love Creek. With Lewes and Rehoboth Beach just minutes away, this extraordinary property combines exceptional scale, sophisticated living, and a spectacular coastal setting.
