Rarely available, premier North Shores perimeter lot backing to state parkland with Ocean views! This is the only property of its kind on the market. Enjoy unobstructed views of the Atlantic Ocean, Cape Henlopen State Park and the protected wetland sanctuary of Gordons Pond. Bring your imagination, and your architect, to take advantage of this fantastic opportunity to build your custom dream home in Rehoboth Beach. The peaceful privacy of this .34 acre parcel will sooth you. Watch the sun rise, and gaze at the stunning views as sunlight dances across the natural vista just outside your new home. The lot offers room to build an expansive new enclave, or conceivably breathe new life into this unique 1990's home, past its heyday. From the second and third floors of the existing house, the Atlantic Ocean can be seen off Whiskey Beach. The current structure offers porches, verandas and balconies to connect with the surrounding nature. A three story spiral staircase allows direct access to the primary suite and the outdoor elevator can bring groceries, beach coolers and dinner guests from the parking area to the second floor porch and third floor deck. The existing 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath home is rich with character, awaiting renovation and is being sold "as is" with no warranties expressed or implied. Currently, the kitchen, living and dining areas along with the primary suite are on the top floor with the best vantage point of the surrounding scene. Four (4) additional bedrooms and two (2) guest baths are located on the level just below. Parking, storage and outdoor showers are on the ground level. The prestigious coastal community of North Shores has 24 hour private security, its own beach patrol lifeguard crew for the private Ocean beach, a community pool, tennis courts, and a marina with pier and boat launch just off the Lewes Rehoboth Canal. Gordons Pond / Whiskey Beach literally abuts this parcel, where the Junction Breakwater bike trail takes riders (and walkers) through Cape Henlopen State Park to Lewes and the Delaware Bay. The property is priced at lot value. The Board of North Shores has "first right of refusal", although rarely exercised

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
