Property Description

Located in the award-winning 55+ community of Independence by Schell Brothers, this 2021-built pond-front home offers modern construction, designer finishes, and valuable system upgrades that set it apart from earlier-generation homes in the community. Built just five years ago, this residence provides the advantage of a newer roof, newer HVAC system, and current building standards—offering buyers added confidence and reduced near-term maintenance concerns compared to homes built in the mid-2000s. A whole-house generator delivers uninterrupted comfort and security during power outages—an increasingly meaningful feature following recent winter storms. Positioned directly on the pond, every rear window captures peaceful fountain views and open sky. The thoughtfully designed single-level layout includes 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, plus a versatile flex room ideal as a fourth bedroom, office, or hobby space. A 2-foot expanded living area enhances the open-concept design, complemented by floor-to-ceiling windows, rich wood flooring, and upgraded moldings throughout. The living room centers around an electric fireplace with custom stone surround and built-in shelving. The gourmet kitchen features soft-close cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances (oven never used), and an oversized island ideal for entertaining. The primary suite offers tranquil water views and a spa-style bath with frameless glass walk-in shower, along with direct laundry access via custom pocket door for everyday convenience. Additional highlights include custom window treatments, Honeywell UV air purification system, security system with exterior cameras, and participation in the seller’s Pay Ahead program, resulting in lower recreation fees for the buyer. For added peace of mind, the seller is including a one-year Supreme home warranty at settlement. Independence’s 24,000-square-foot clubhouse offers resort-style amenities including indoor and outdoor pools, fitness and yoga studios, sauna, ballroom, pickleball, tennis, dog park, and miles of walking trails—all conveniently located near Harris Teeter, Beebe Medical, and the beaches of Lewes and Rehoboth. Modern, efficient, storm-ready, and move-in ready—this is pond-front living with built-in long-term value.
