Townhomes Unveiled

FENWICK — McKee Builders unveiled its luxury townhomes at the grand opening of The Grove last weekend. The grand opening weekend offered a glimpse into the charming community in Fenwick Island off Route 54, a little over two miles from the beach and close to area attractions.

McKee debuted two spectacular decorated models, The Turner and The Dawson. The Turner offers four bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 2,342 square feet of luxury living space. Priced from $329,900, The Turner features a first-floor master suite with laundry and guest bath on the first level, and a connected living room and kitchen that is perfect for socializing. The Dawson offers three bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 1,907 square feet of luxury living space. Starting at $299,000, The Dawson features an open floor plan that connects the great room, dining and kitchen areas.

The Grove will feature 61, two-story townhomes ranging from 1,800 to 2,200 square feet. Homes will have three bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a one-car garage.  Master bedrooms are available on the first or second floors. Also, homeowners can meet their neighbors and make new friends at the community fire pit, a social space with a relaxed beach “vibe.”

“The Grove is uniquely positioned to provide buyers with semi-custom new construction in an intimate community,” said Frank McKee, Jr. “Low monthly costs make it easy for buyers to realize their dream of owning a beach home in the beautiful and tranquil setting at Fenwick Island.”
