About This Home

As of July 2024

Welcome to 34818 Capstan Lane in Bay Crossing, a 55+ community near Lewes and Rehoboth Beach. This 3000 square foot home sits on a gorgeous community pond with a trail/path to community pool just out back. Walk from the covered entry into the expansive center foyer with a large dining room & a library/flex room at the front of the home. The large, first-floor owners' bedroom leads to the en suite master bath with walk-in shower and soaking tub. Off the bath are the generous walk-in closet and private WC. The large gourmet kitchen features all stainless-steel appliances including range with oven, dishwasher, french door refrigerator/freezer, and informal breakfast area with updated hardwood flooring. The kitchen opens to the high-ceilinged family room with a gas fireplace and to the sun room. Walk out double doors from the sun room into the amazing four-season room with ceiling fans, skylights, a mini-split for heat/ac and tile flooring - which spans the back of the house. In the family room is a stairway to the second floor which features two guest rooms, ample closets and a full bath. Upstairs there’s also a loft living area - perfect for an office or guest/TV area. All carpeting was just replaced and the paint touched-up and there are ceiling fans throughout. Please ask your agent for the list of upgrades and updates including: new roof, hot water heater, AC unit, solar panels, carpet throughout, Nest thermostat and even a mini-split for heat/AC in the garage if you want to turn that space into a hobby/workshop room. Outside the four-season room is a hardscape patio that leads to the landscaped back yard and which faces the stunning community pond with a walking path and benches. The first floor also offers a laundry room with a washer/dryer, utility sink and storage. Bay Crossing offers a number of options for entertainment and fitness. Outside the clubhouse is the spacious heated pool and just steps away are the pickleball/tennis/bocce courts. The Clubhouse boasts a large fitness room with equipment, a pool table and a library. And your HOA fees cover so many services: front and back lawn maintenance, trimming and mulching of shrubs in the front of your house, garbage and recycling collections, irrigation, and snow removal. Don't miss the opportunity to make this lovely property your new home! Schedule a showing today as this one won't last!
