Built by the peninsula's premier builder, Schell Brothers, this never-lived-in, move-in-ready Chesapeake model is loaded with upgrades, and is offered cheaper per sqft than most recent new builds are closing. This fully-wired smart home includes custom window treatments, 5" hickory flooring throughout the first-floor living areas, a chef's kitchen with maple cabinetry, and quartz countertops and all GE Monogram appliances, including 36", 6-burner natural gas stove, 48" counter-depth refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher. The grand living room features a stone surround gas fireplace and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the tree-lined backyard, and the first-floor owner's suite includes a luxury bath with rough-in for potential bathtub. Additional first-floor highlights include a front study and a second rear bedroom, full hall bath, walk-in pantry and mudroom with W/D hook-up. Wood risers lead to the second floor, which offers a large loft, second ensuite with large walk-in closet, 2 additional bedrooms with shared bath, and a spacious bonus room. The finished basement includes a media room, an additional bedroom, 1 full bath, laundry room with additional W/D hook-up, and a rough-in for a wet bar. This premium wooded lot offers rare privacy, with no homes directly behind you and serene views of protected open space that will not be developed under the approved community plan. The backyard is larger than most and ideal for entertaining, with a raised back deck and ample room for a future patio, fire pit, or hot tub. Eight doors down is the fully completed pool and clubhouse featuring fitness center, outdoor pavilion with fireplace, indoor game area, indoor and outdoor bar spaces and separate BBQ area. In addition to the clubhouse, lounge and bar area, pool, and grilling stations, you’ll enjoy year-round access to pickleball, tennis, and basketball courts, pocket parks, and “The Thicketâ€â€”a one-of-a-kind outdoor retreat with gazebos and hammocks for rest and relaxation. Welches Pond is nearly fully built, features natural gas and is conveniently located just 5 miles from both Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, offering easy access to all the attractions of the Delaware beaches. The $765 quarterly HOA fee covers homesite lawn cutting, general community maintenance, and upkeep of amenities. Buyers are required to pay a one-time fee of $1,000 to the reserve fund and $1,000 to the working capital contribution fund.
