Property Description

There are homes that simply provide a place to live, and there are homes that define a lifestyle. Welcome to 17 Sixth Street—a rare opportunity for turnkey, year-round living in the heart of Downtown Rehoboth Beach.
Thoughtfully custom built in 2015 by a highly regarded local builder, this exceptional residence blends timeless coastal architecture with impeccable craftsmanship and refined finishes throughout. Offering four bedrooms, three full baths, and one-half bath, the home provides the quality, space, and thoughtful floor plan equally suited for a luxurious beach retreat or a full-time residence.
The home features two spacious primary suites—one conveniently located on the main level and a second on the upper floor. Each offers a peaceful retreat with luxurious spa-inspired baths featuring oversized walk-in showers with multiple shower heads, Newport brass fixtures and generous walk-in closets. The main-level suite provides an especially desirable option for those seeking comfortable one-level living without sacrificing space or privacy for family and guests.
At the heart of the home, a beautifully appointed open-concept chef's kitchen serves as the natural gathering place for family and friends. An expansive center island, abundant custom cabinetry, and a spacious walk-in pantry make entertaining effortless. Just beyond, an exquisite fully conditioned sunroom, along with gracious dining and living spaces, provides exceptional flexibility for everyday living and hosting guests. Rich architectural details, light-filled interiors, custom plantation shutters and Minka fans throughout, Quality materials create a home that feels elegant yet effortlessly livable.
Beyond the walls of the home lies an enchanting private garden—an outdoor sanctuary that invites morning coffee, afternoon reading, or evenings spent entertaining beneath the stars. A spacious second-floor deck offers beautiful views of the Lewes-Rehoboth Canal and spectacular western sunsets. For the buyer seeking a seamless transition to coastal living, the residence may be offered fully furnished, creating a truly turnkey opportunity.
Perfectly positioned on charming Sixth Street, you'll quickly discover that the car becomes virtually unnecessary. Start your mornings with coffee from Rise Up or brunch at Egg—two of Rehoboth Beach's beloved neighborhood favorites just steps from your front door. From there, everything that makes Downtown Rehoboth Beach so special is within an easy stroll.
Walk to the farmers market on a summer morning. Spend the afternoon relaxing on the beach or enjoying the iconic boardwalk. Meet friends for dinner at one of Rehoboth's acclaimed restaurants, browse locally owned boutiques and galleries, or catch live music as the sun sets over town. This is a location where leaving the car parked becomes one of life's everyday luxuries.
Yet what truly distinguishes 17 Sixth Street is its versatility. Newer, turnkey single-family homes within the City of Rehoboth Beach are increasingly difficult to find below the $3M price point—particularly those designed as thoughtfully for year-round living as they are for a weekend at the beach. With two generous primary suites, exceptional storage, gracious living spaces, a private garden, and everything downtown just outside your door, 17 Sixth Street offers the opportunity to leave behind the maintenance of a larger suburban home, and embrace the upgraded lifestyle of Downtown Rehoboth.
