Located in the highly desirable Bay Forest community, this beautifully furnished coastal retreat offers over 3,000 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, blending elegant finishes with relaxed coastal charm.

Dramatic Main Living Spaces

A light-filled foyer welcomes you into the home and flows seamlessly into a striking two-story great room. Featuring a coffered ceiling, a wall of windows, and clerestory windows above, the space is bathed in natural light and designed to feel open and inviting. A lofted mezzanine overlooks the living area, enhancing the airy architectural design.

Gourmet Kitchen & Dining

The open-concept floor plan connects the great room to a beautifully appointed gourmet kitchen. Granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a cooktop with hood fan, wall oven, built-in microwave, and walk-in pantry create both style and function. A large island with double sinks, pendant lighting, and seating for four serves as the centerpiece for gathering and entertaining. Just beyond, the dining room offers direct access to the covered rear porch—perfect for seamless indoor-outdoor living.

Main-Level Owner’s Retreat

The primary suite provides a serene escape on the main level, highlighted by a tray ceiling, plush carpeting, and a spacious walk-in closet. The spa-inspired ensuite bath includes dual vanities, a large tiled step-in shower with bench and glass door, a private water closet, and natural light from a well-placed window.

A main-level guest bedroom with full bath, along with a laundry room featuring a utility sink and a functional mudroom, completes the first floor.

Upper-Level Flexibility

Upstairs, the mezzanine overlooks the great room and leads to three additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms. A versatile bonus room with glass pocket doors offers flexibility as a media room, office, or playroom, accommodating a variety of lifestyle needs.

Outdoor Living & Community Lifestyle

Outside, the landscaped front yard includes a welcoming covered porch and a convenient outdoor shower. The backyard is designed for gathering and relaxation, featuring an expansive hardscaped patio with a stone-encased firepit, sitting wall, and grill enclosure.

Residents of Bay Forest enjoy resort-style amenities including a clubhouse with entertaining spaces, library, dining room, and fitness center. Outdoor amenities feature a pool with lap lanes and kiddie pool, putting green, playground, tennis, bocce and horseshoe courts, kayak launch marina, and beach shuttle service. Rentals are permitted with a seven-night minimum, adding investment potential for second homeowners.

Ideally located just minutes from downtown Ocean View and the beaches of Bethany Beach, this home provides easy access to coastal dining, shopping, entertainment, boating, and scenic trails.

This is refined coastal living in one of Sussex County’s most sought-after communities.
