Owning a waterfront property comes with its own perks, among them a view that is priceless, your own private beach and a natural place to conveniently anchor your boat at the local marina -- it's unfiltered access to the best part of this home. Just imagine having easy access to a secure 45' floating dock with water and electricity, membership at the Cripple Creek Golf Club, tennis courts, swimming pools, and easy access to the Bethany Beach Boardwalk (just 6 miles away). This is the best of two worlds with picturesque views of the Indian River Bay, dolphin sightings, or simply relaxing with sunset toasts at a cozy fire pit. Or, if you prefer, enjoy easy access to award-winning restaurants, vibrant shopping or summer fun with energetic nightlife. With this perfectly situated home on the coast, you'll feel at ease knowing every detail has been custom built and thoughtfully designed around its surroundings -- including breathtaking water views that connect the interior to the seascape. Thanks to the architect's vision, the windows are so well positioned it's like being on a cruise ship -- all you see is water. Along with this successful design, you'll appreciate the light-filled, open floor plan that's discretely divided for privacy, yet free flowing and intimate for a couple but just as easily can accommodate a crowd. If your dream home also includes a quiet neighborhood where you can catch lively nature right from the breezy entryway, then Bay Colony is your town. This is the place where you can enjoy first-floor living or combined casual luxury where you can connect with family and friends with 5+ bedrooms (two owners' suites), 6+ bathrooms, elevator, superb gourmet kitchen, two Bosch dishwashers, Sub Zero refrigerator, Viking stove with Miele convection/steamer ovens, and a fully equipped butler's pantry. This impressive home also offers a home theater, game room, exercise room, office/flex room, central vacuum, 3 fireplaces and a sauna shower. To combine more luxury, you'll appreciate the 3 car garage with one bay large enough for a boat. With a spacious and innovative floor plan, luxury and comfort has been considered in every detail, including Amish crafted kitchen cabinets and bookcases, 3 new GEOthermal systems, outdoor hot-tub hookup, 2 Rinnai tankless water heaters (energy efficiency at its best with a total cost of $3300 in 2022), and an 80-watt generator that serves the entire house. You can also relax and enjoy a cup of coffee/tea at the local farm to table visit Hudson's General Store for unique shopping options, or take in entertainment at the nearby Dickens Parlour Theater. Or, stay home and enjoy the Bay Colony amenities.
