An exceptional opportunity awaits in one of the Lewes/Rehoboth area’s most coveted bayfront communities—Bay Front at Rehoboth. Known for its expansive half-acre ± homesites, thoughtful preservation of mature trees, privacy-oriented home placement, abundant wildlife, and resort-style amenities, this waterfront enclave offers a lifestyle unlike any other. Residents enjoy a spectacular pool overlooking the bay and protected wetlands, a community clubhouse ideal for gatherings, a fully equipped fitness center, and a scenic nature trail that feels like a private sanctuary for bird and nature enthusiasts. Launch a kayak from the community beach, unwind with a glass of wine at the private waterfront gazebo, or simply savor the serenity that defines easy coastal living at its finest. Impeccably maintained and perfectly positioned on a private corner lot, this Schell Brothers Catalina Model offers three levels of thoughtfully designed luxury. With 4 spacious bedrooms and 3.5 baths, the home was designed to embrace its natural surroundings. The main living level is filled with light, featuring expansive picture windows that frame tranquil views of trees and wetlands—where sightings of cardinals, ospreys, herons, and even deer are part of everyday life. The dining area flows seamlessly onto a generous screened porch, creating an elevated indoor-outdoor experience. The spacious kitchen is both elegant and functional, showcasing classic cream toned cabinetry, gleaming granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, a prep island, breakfast bar, and a large walk-in pantry with a dedicated coffee station—perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. A main-level bedroom with en-suite bath and customized walk-in closet completes this floor. The third level is dedicated to 2 additional bedrooms and 1 bath along with a roomy primary suite. This sanctuary features a tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and a spa-inspired bath with soaking tub. Step onto the private sun deck for peaceful mornings or sunset relaxation where you catch a glimpse of the Rehoboth Bay! The ground level offers a two-car garage, ample storage, and a conditioned flex space currently used as a fitness room, workshop, and art studio yet easily adaptable to suit your personal lifestyle needs. Outside, the private yard, oversized storage shed, and dedicated golf cart parking provide thoughtful finishing touches to this truly exceptional home.
