“Just steps from the sand in Ocean City's most coveted neighborhood, this newly built Gardens home offers the rare combination of ocean views, privacy, and effortless luxury living. Enjoy morning coffee overlooking the water, afternoons by the pool, and evenings on your rooftop deck-all within a short walk to the beach. This newly completed, custom-crafted coastal residence in the heart of Ocean City's coveted Gardens section, delivered by Michael James Custom Builders and designed without compromise. This beach block home is fully staged, with the option to purchase it fully furnished, and it's ready for its next chapter-this the Shore home you've been waiting for. Please note: Ocean City uses an equalization formula that estimates taxes around $21,500, but based on actual assessments for similar new homes in the Gardens, the actual taxes could come in higher once the City actually assesses the property. From the moment you arrive, the James Hardie shake and Azek board-and-batten exterior signals that something special awaits inside. Step into a thoughtfully designed interior where wide-plank pecan hardwood floors, soaring ceilings, and cascading natural light set the tone across every level. The chef's kitchen is a showpiece - anchored by a full Wolf and Sub-Zero appliance suite, custom cabinetry, and a layout built for entertaining. Whether you're hosting a summer dinner party or a quiet family breakfast with the ocean breeze rolling in, this kitchen delivers on every level. The outdoor living experience is equally impressive. A heated pool anchors the rear of the home, surrounded by a finished patio designed for seamless indoor-outdoor flow. From cookouts to sunset unwinding, the exterior has been conceived as a true extension of the living space. Ascend into the top-floor primary suite-a private sanctuary above it all. Ocean views frame your mornings, dual decks invite you outside, a spa-calibrated bath paired with a generous walk-in closet rounds out a retreat that rivals any luxury resort. Four additional well-appointed bedrooms and 4.5 bathrooms ensure every guest and family member is accommodated in comfort. A private elevator serves all levels. The fully integrated smart home system - featuring a home audio and a comprehensive camera security package-puts everything at your fingertips from arrival to lights out. Five bedrooms. Four and a half baths. Two car garage. Heated pool. Beach block. Fully complete. Professionally staged. 3D walkthrough available.
