OCEAN CITY — The stunning new home at 827 St. Charles Place is the perfect blend of timeless coastal beauty and modern amenities fit for a large family and friends.
The 3,200-square-foot home features six bedrooms and six full bathrooms ideally situated on the sunny side of one of Ocean City’s most desirable Northend streets.
“Thoughtfully designed to blend timeless, Old World charm with the luxury and convenience of brand-new construction, this exceptional home is spread among three beautifully appointed levels,” listing agent Scott Kirkpatrick said.
The building is impressive, sporting curb appeal aplenty with its design featuring ground-to-roof square pillars — brick at the base topped by cedar shake — and mahogany porch ceilings. A set of composite steps rises on the right to the main entrance.
A grassy yard and mulched beds with shrubs lines the home on each side of the staircase to the porch.
“Begin your experience on the oversized, classic Ocean City-style front porch — perfect for enjoying the sunshine and coastal breeze,” Kirkpatrick said.
Inside is an expansive great room designed for effortless entertaining, featuring a spacious living area with a gas fireplace on the left and an extensive wet bar with cabinets and a beverage cooler to the right.
Multiple windows, including two flanking the fireplace and another double set alongside the dining area, make the space light and bright.
Just steps away, the kitchen features abundant cabinets with quartz tops and a large center island with a sink, dishwasher and room from four to five stools.
“The gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing Taj Mahal quartzite countertops, Medallion custom cabinetry, an oversized center island and a premium Thermador appliance package,” Kirkpatrick said.
A hallway off the kitchen leads back to a conveniently located powder room just inside the door to the covered back porch.
Back in the great room, board-and-batten wainscoting adds architectural character throughout and along the stairs, while a shiplap fireplace accent wall and crown molding complete the sophisticated coastal aesthetic.
A custom oak staircase leads to the second and third floors, with an elevator providing convenient access from the garage level to the top floor.
The second level features four spacious bedrooms, each with its own private bathroom, along with a laundry room and both front and rear decks. The bathrooms are beautifully finished with frameless glass shower doors and quartz vanity tops.
The front bedroom has a private deck, while the two in the rear share the back porch.
The top floor offers two additional primary-sized ensuite bedrooms and bathrooms — one in the front and the other in the rear — along with a second sitting area complete with a wet bar and beverage cooler.
“Private decks off both bedrooms provide beautiful views and the perfect place to unwind,” Kirkpatrick said.
Additional features include engineered wood flooring throughout, custom closets with laminate shelving, an enclosed outdoor shower, rear alley access and parking for four vehicles, including one enclosed garage space.
“With its exceptional craftsmanship, generous living spaces, premium finishes, elevator, multiple decks and sought-after location, the home delivers the quintessential Ocean City experience with the luxury of a brand-new home,” Kirkpatrick said.
Ocean City is one of the most popular shore resorts on the East Coast, featuring an oceanfront boardwalk filled with hundreds of shopping, dining and entertainment venues, as well as miles and miles of pristine beaches.
A great location doesn’t only mean beachfront or bayfront on this 8-mile-long island — there are 10 distinct neighborhoods, each with its own characteristics.
The beach and boardwalk — 2.5 miles of oceanfront entertainment, restaurants, thrill rides and souvenir shops — get most of the attention in this seaside resort, but the island has much more to offer.
An award-winning downtown stretches from Sixth to 14th streets along Asbury Avenue and has expanded onto other nearby streets, offering more than 100 shops and cafes.
There’s also the popular watersports district around Third Street on Bay Avenue, where the brave can rent powerboats, go parasailing, join the crew of a pirate ship and take a kayak tour of the back bays. Private and party boat fishing tours are also available.
The Northend contains many of the island’s historic homes. It’s heavily residential but there are many mom-and-pop shops and corner cafes that are traditional stops for families for generations.
Extending from North Street to Sixth Street, the Northend is an eclectic blend of single-family, duplex and triplex properties. The boardwalk begins its 2½-mile span here.
The 14-story Gardens Plaza, the tallest structure on the island, sits on the Boardwalk in the very center of the Northend. In addition, it contains the Historic District, from Third to Eighth streets and Ocean Avenue to Central Avenue. Designated as such by Ocean City’s Historic Preservation Commission, the district seeks to maintain the look and feel of classic island architecture.
The property is listed for $4.925 million with Scott Kirkpatrick of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices, Fox & Roach Realtors. Call (609) 602-0500 or email scott.kirkpatrick@foxroach.com for more information or to set up a tour of this wonderful home.
