Welcome to Casa al Mare, a bespoke single-family coastal sanctuary in Ocean City’s prestigious Gardens neighborhood. Positioned directly across the street from the beach, this residence captures sweeping ocean views while showcasing architectural pedigree, cutting-edge technology, and timeless Shore style. Masterfully built, the home sits on a 59’ × 92’ lot at one of the highest elevations in Ocean City, offering nearly 4,000 sq. ft. of finished living space with multiple outdoor entertaining areas across three levels, 5 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms, and the convenience of an elevator. As you approach the entrance, a custom mahogany front door opens to a grand foyer with a sweeping staircase, complete with a custom stair runner and designer lighting—setting the tone for the home’s sophisticated design. The first level also includes a separate living area, two ensuite bedrooms, and a cabana bath. On the main level, the open great room impresses with a living and dining area flowing into a gourmet kitchen with Bluebell cabinetry, a Macchia Vecchia marble-wrapped hood and waterfall island, and a SubZero/Wolf appliance package. Expansive NanaWall glass doors create seamless indoor-outdoor living and frame ocean views, with Bromic heaters allowing year-round enjoyment. The dining area features custom cabinetry and an oyster accent wall that extends to a balcony with a built-in grill overlooking the rear yard. This level also offers a powder room, a laundry room with sink and custom cabinetry, and two ensuite bedrooms, including a custom bunk room.
