Panoramic Indian River Bay views, 80 feet of bay frontage, and a short 6-mile drive to Bethany Beach, Delaware. Annual property taxes are $3,200, and HOA fees are $1,200 per year. A 25-foot boat slip and golf cart are included in the purchase price, bringing the coastal lifestyle within easy reach. Situated on a quiet, non-through street in Bay Colony, this custom-built waterfront home places its most inviting living spaces directly along the bay. The impressive great room, dining area, and waterfront sunroom capture sweeping views where you will spend the most time, with window-lined walls and sliding glass doors connecting the interior to the outdoor living spaces. A dramatic two-story foyer, soaring double-height ceilings, tile and hardwood flooring, and abundant natural light create a welcoming first impression. In the living room, a stone-faced fireplace flanked by custom built-in cabinetry and display shelving provides a striking focal point. The updated kitchen combines coastal character with everyday functionality. Rich navy cabinetry, white countertops, a generous island with seating, stainless steel appliances, and a gas cooktop make cooking and entertaining a pleasure. A custom marine-life mosaic backsplash, shiplap accents, open shelving, and ample storage add distinctive style. The open layout keeps the kitchen connected to the dining and living areas. The waterfront sunroom offers another comfortable gathering space, with expansive bay-facing windows, a second fireplace, and vaulted-style ceiling details. Enjoy morning coffee, watch boats pass, or settle in for sunset over the water. The spacious primary suite opens to an upper-level waterfront deck and features uninterrupted bay views, a large walk-in closet, and an en-suite bath with dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate glass-enclosed shower. A second bedroom also enjoys private access to a bayfront balcony. Additional bedrooms, three full baths, and an upstairs wet bar with a beverage refrigerator provide flexibility and convenience for family and guests. Outdoor living includes an expansive upper-level deck, a shaded covered porch, and a waterfront paver patio with room for dining, entertaining, and gathering around the fire pit. Maintained landscaping, a stone-lined shoreline, and steps leading toward the water complete the setting. The irrigation system operates on its own well. Additional features include a laundry room with extensive cabinetry and counter space, a mudroom with built-in seating and storage, an outdoor shower, and an attached two-car garage. Bay Colony amenities include a clubhouse, swimming pool, tennis, pickleball, and a private marina, with restaurants, shopping, golf, and recreation nearby. An interesting fact: Bay Colony's last three waterfront vacant lots sold for $1.2 million, $995,000, and $950,000, offering compelling context for this home's waterfront setting.
