Description

Perfectly positioned just one and a half blocks from the beach, this exceptional 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath canal-front residence in Fenwick Island offers a rare blend of refined coastal elegance, effortless waterfront living, and an unbeatable walkable lifestyle. Designed with a light-filled inverted floor plan, the home captures breathtaking sunset views over the canal and features multiple levels of outdoor living, including expansive water-facing decks and a private rooftop deck—ideal for sunset gatherings and evening entertaining.
The main living level showcases a vaulted great room anchored by a striking stone-surround gas fireplace, creating an inviting yet sophisticated atmosphere. The open-concept gourmet kitchen is equipped with Sub-Zero refrigeration, stainless steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, a butler’s pantry with a small drink/wine refrigerator, and a kitchen sink with a dedicated filtered water system. The space flows seamlessly onto spacious decks overlooking the canal, enhancing indoor-outdoor entertainment.
The lower-level welcomes guests with a tiled entryway leading to a beautifully appointed secondary living space complete with a wet bar (sink and beverage refrigeration) and sun-filled lounge—ideal for relaxed evenings by the water. Throughout the home, inlaid oak hardwood flooring, designer lighting, ceramic tile, plush carpeting, and plantation shutters throughout reflect meticulous attention to detail. Multiple well-designed closets are found throughout the home, including large center closets pre-framed for future elevator installation, along with a spacious utility storage closet in the carport area—perfect for bikes, beach chairs, and coastal gear.
Outdoors, the property unfolds as a private waterfront retreat. Thoughtfully designed hardscaping includes slate patios, Trex decking, a serene koi pond and water feature, and an expansive covered entertaining area beneath the home featuring a custom-built bar, a brand-new seven-person hot tub, and a private outdoor shower designed for complete privacy. With direct canal access from the backyard, you can step effortlessly from patio to boat, jet skis, or paddleboards.
Additional comfort and convenience features include central air conditioning, plus a separate ductless heating and cooling system in the sunroom, allowing for year-round enjoyment. The home is equipped with smart-home technology throughout, including Ring security cameras, smart thermostats, smart locks, and smart smoke alarms—all accessible remotely. An EV (Tesla) charging station is conveniently located in the carport, and propane lines are already in place to both outdoor decks for optional future fire pit installation.
Beyond the home, enjoy the convenience of walking to exceptional local restaurants, boutique shopping, mini golf, and coastal attractions, making this property ideal as a primary residence, second home, or investment opportunity.
This luxury canal-front home near the beach offers timeless design, exceptional indoor-outdoor living, modern amenities, direct water access, and a vibrant walkable location, an extraordinary opportunity to own a premier Fenwick Island coastal retreat.
