22545 Ocala Way – A Curated Coastal Retreat in Saddle Ridge
Introducing 22545 Ocala Way, a one-of-a-kind residence nestled within the intimate, thoughtfully designed community of Saddle Ridge, a boutique enclave of just 81 homes by Schell Brothers, ideally situated between Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. Rooted in the land’s equestrian heritage, this charming neighborhood is a collection of custom homes, each with its own character. Here, a distinctive blend of Craftsman design, rustic accents, and coastal farmhouse style comes together to create a home that is as inviting as it is unforgettable. From the moment you step into the foyer, a sense of warmth and sanctuary unfolds. The great room is a true showpiece, where transom-topped, stacked picture windows stretch across the rear of the home, filling the space with natural light while framing the serene wooded backdrop beyond. Rich hardwood flooring, crown molding, tray ceilings, and curated lighting details elevate the home’s architectural appeal, while thoughtful bump-outs expand both the living and dining areas, enhancing the sense of openness and flow.
Anchoring the living space is a stunning floor-to-ceiling stacked stone fireplace with a raised hearth, both grand and welcoming, creating the perfect setting for gathering. The gourmet kitchen continues the home’s refined aesthetic, showcasing 42” custom display cabinetry, granite countertops, and a suite of stainless-steel appliances. Undercabinet and pendant lighting add both function and ambiance, while the center island with breakfast bar seating invites casual dining and conversation. Whether hosting in the dining area or enjoying al fresco meals on the screened porch, this home is designed for effortless entertaining. The primary suite is a private retreat, highlighted by a tray ceiling, and additional bump-out sitting area where you can enjoy the peaceful wooded views, dual custom walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a frameless glass shower with bench, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a well-placed laundry room offer convenience and flexibility for family or guests. Upstairs, a spacious loft-style family room provides an additional gathering space, along with a versatile office or potential fourth bedroom. A generous bonus area offers endless possibilities, whether envisioning a future bedroom, bath, or hobby space, the opportunity to expand is already built in. The finished 2-car garage offers additional storage, and epoxy floors, ideal for keeping it clean. Outdoor living is equally exceptional. The rear yard offers rare privacy, backing to tranquil woods that create a picturesque, ever-changing backdrop. The screened porch invites quiet mornings and crisp autumn evenings, while the thoughtfully landscaped grounds, accented by vibrant pollinator garden beds, attract year-round visits from Delmarva’s native birdlife, bringing nature right to your doorstep
Saddle Ridge enhances the lifestyle further with resort-style amenities including a community infinity pool, fire pit, grilling area, and a covered gathering space. The clubhouse offers a bar, billiards, meeting room, and cozy library, perfect for connecting with neighbors or unwinding after a day at the beach. Located just minutes from the best of Coastal Delaware, you’ll enjoy easy access to the charm of Lewes, the natural beauty of Cape Henlopen State Park, the scenic Junction & Breakwater Trail, and the vibrant energy of Rehoboth Beach. With both Lewes Beach and Rehoboth Beach approximately seven miles away, coastal living is always within reach.
