Welcome to refined coastal living in the highly sought-after Hawthorne community—where thoughtful design, exceptional craftsmanship, and a true sense of neighborhood come together. This exquisite 5-bedroom, 3-bath residence, built in 2021 by Insight Homes, showcases the coveted Nelson model and offers approximately 3,674 square feet of beautifully curated living space. Every detail has been carefully considered to deliver both elegance and everyday comfort. From the moment you enter, you are greeted by an inviting, light-filled interior enhanced by custom wainscoting, soaring vaulted ceilings, and an expanded living and breakfast area designed for effortless entertaining. The heart of the home is the elite gourmet kitchen—featuring striking quartz countertops, a butler's pantry, premium finishes, and a newly installed Thermador dishwasher—perfectly blending form and function for the most discerning chef. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat, highlighted by tray ceilings and a spa-inspired en suite bath that offers both privacy and sophistication. Additional bedrooms provide flexibility for guests, home office space, or multigenerational living. This home is further distinguished by an impressive array of upgrades, including a two-foot garage extension, enhanced recessed lighting throughout, a cozy fireplace, whole-house generator, dual-energy hybrid system, and a comprehensive water treatment system—delivering peace of mind and efficiency year-round. An extra beverage refrigerator—whether it's a dedicated wine chiller or a drawer for the kids' sodas—is a massive lifestyle upgrade. It frees up precious room in your main fridge for groceries and keeps guest foot traffic away from the cooking zone. A butler's pantry acts as a transition zone between your kitchen and dining room, keeping the main kitchen counters pristine while guests are over Outdoors, the lifestyle continues. Backing to serene, wooded views, the property offers exceptional privacy and a beautifully designed outdoor living space complete with a screened-in porch and integrated sound system—ideal for quiet mornings or evening gatherings. Located within Hawthorne—known for its tree-lined streets, vibrant community atmosphere, and resort-style amenities—this home offers the perfect balance of tranquility and connection, just minutes from Milton, Lewes, and the Delaware beaches. This is more than a home—it is a statement of coastal luxury living at its finest. See the video!
