1432 W Bayard Ave Dewey Beach, DE | Rehoboth By The Sea. Welcome to 1432 Bayard Avenue, an extraordinary luxury coastal residence just two blocks from the Atlantic Ocean in Dewey Beach’s most coveted residential neighborhood, Rehoboth by the Sea – bordering Silver Lake and Lake Comegys.

Built by a prominent local builder, the residence showcases architectural details rarely found in today's coastal construction, including 10-foot ceilings, solid oak hardwood floors throughout, wide staircases, custom millwork, coffered ceilings, shiplap accents, raised wood paneling, and plantation shutters. Every room reflects thoughtful design, quality materials, and extraordinary attention to detail. The expansive main level is designed for effortless entertaining, featuring a gracious living room with gas fireplace, a custom dining table accommodating up to 16 guests, and a spectacular chef's kitchen. Premium Viking appliances include a 48-inch refrigerator, 35-inch gas range, two dishwashers, freezer drawers, an undercounter ice maker, and microwave.
