About This Home

As of September 2020

Come live in the National Association of Home Builders' 2018 Platinum Award-Winning BEST IN AMERICAN LIVING Bay Forest Club! Welcome to this beautiful, end-unit Stonehurst Model Villa Townhome with 3 BD, 2.5 BA, a study, a loft and a 2-car garage on beautiful Starling Road. This home - loaded with upgrades - has been beautifully decorated and maintained. It backs to a broad scrim of trees just a short walk from Bay Forest's main Clubhouse... and essentially is an easy walk to all of Bay Forest's amenities. The trees provide real privacy when you're sitting on the bluestone patio out back. Inside, you'll find upgraded wood floors, carpet in the Bedrooms and tile in the Kitchen and Morning Room which looks out on the landscaped back yard through a wall of windows. The Living Room and Dining Area share a dramatic cathedral ceiling and dormers that bring extra light into the home. (NOTE: Dining Room chandelier WILL NOT CONVEY with home.) In the Kitchen, you'll appreciate the tile floors, stainless steel appliances, beautiful cabinetry, granite countertops, under-counter lighting and a lovely backsplash of deep gray subway tiles. NOTE: a new DISHWASHER was installed in 2019, a new WASTE DISPOSAL and a new TANK-LESS HOT WATER HEATER were installed in 2018. The Morning Room opens onto the patio and the back yard, welcoming views of nature inside the home. There is a roomy Study next to the Morning Room that can serve as an additional bedroom (albeit without a closet). The large Master Bedroom is beautifully laid out with two walk-in closets and beautiful Master Bath. There is also a first floor Powder Room. Upstairs, you'll find two Bedrooms, a full Bath, a loft and storage. Depending upon the strength of a winning offer, some furniture and furnishings may convey at settlement (see list provided in Disclosures). This home is not in a flood zone but there's an irrigation system for your lawn. BREAKING NEWS, On 2/20/19, The National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) named Natelli Communities winner of its Platinum Award for "Best in American Living" as Bay Forest Club's developer at Las Vegas' International Builders' Show (90,000 attendees). The NAHB's premier residential & design award spotlights the most creative & talented industry professionals for redefining design excellence in homes & communities in the US & worldwide. Judges concluded that Natelli Communities "maximized water and green spaces and created a nice sense of micro-communities inside the natural habitat. [Bay Forest Club] has a lovely pool and resort-like amenities and the outside of the (Recreation) Barn is spectacular." So come enjoy our clubhouse with its lounge, grille, exercise facility, Women's & Men's lockers opening to 3 pools (Lazy River!). And our 4 tennis courts & pavilion, outdoor basketball nets, children's play areas, putting green, bocce lawns, horseshoe pits & fire pit. And our beautiful new 'Barn' which accommodates a basketball court, three pickle ball courts or 450 guests for NYE! The Barn opens to a Great Lawn, two new pools & a new clubhouse with exercise facility, a dance/yoga studio with resilient flooring & beautiful gathering spaces. Our Kayak Launch has plenty of spaces to park your kayak & expansive views of the Indian River Bay and Indian River Bridge. Don't forget our summer Beach Shuttle. Or the Shearwater Drive Bridge crossing directly over Collins Creek to our new Barn, Pools & Clubhouse/Gym, accommodating cars, bikes and pedestrians while uniting Bay Forest's two sections (a great place to admire our Salt Marsh). 15+ Miles sidewalks. 5 Miles Bethany Beach.
