About This Home

Elegant Pond-Front Home in Bay Forest
Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 3.1-bath home, nestled on a scenic pond-front lot in the award-winning community of Bay Forest. Offering the best of Coastal living, this like-new residence features an open, light-filled floor plan with upscale finishes throughout.
Step through the covered front entry into a spacious main level adorned with gleaming hardwood floors, stately columns, and detailed crown molding. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, featuring upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a tile backsplash, center island with bar seating, and a sunny breakfast area.
Ideal for entertaining, the expansive dining room flows seamlessly into the impressive great room with soaring ceilings, a gas fireplace, and a wall of windows framing breathtaking pond views. A loft area overlooks the great room, enhancing the home's open feel. Step onto the full-length screened porch—complete with wood ceiling, composite decking, and paver walkway—for serene views of the pond and its three elegant fountains.
The rear primary suite is a tranquil retreat with recessed lighting, tray ceiling, walk-in closets, and direct access to the porch. Its spa-like bath features a large, tiled shower and granite-topped dual vanities. Also on the main level are a stylish powder room and convenient laundry area.
Upstairs, a generous loft leads to a second owner’s suite with a private bath and access to a large, floored storage area. Two additional bedrooms feature vaulted ceilings and share a Jack-and-Jill bath.
This beautifully maintained home is bathed in natural light and showcases recessed lighting, vaulted ceilings, professional paint, and model-like presentation throughout.
Voted the #1 "Best in American Living" Platinum Award Winner by the National Association of Home Builders in 2019, Bay Forest is one of Sussex County’s most desirable communities. Amenities include a clubhouse with game room, three pools (including a lazy river), four tennis courts and pavilion, basketball, putting green, fitness center, new recreation barn with indoor courts, snack bar, miles of walking trails, a kayak launch with stunning Indian River Bay views, and seasonal beach shuttle service.
Located just 5 miles from Bethany Beach, this exceptional home is perfect as a coastal retreat or year-round residence. Don't miss this rare opportunity to enjoy luxury living in an unmatched setting.
