What's special
Welcome to Your Ultimate Oasis: A Resort Lifestyle Awaits You. Step into your very own paradise where every day feels like a vacation. Nestled within a lush three-quarter-acre waterfront property, this extraordinary haven offers the tranquility and luxury you've always dreamt of, just a mere 12 miles from the pristine shores of Rehoboth Beach. It's truly the "best of all worlds." This sprawling ranch-style home, being offered "fully furnished & turnkey," is a testament to grandeur and elegance. Located in The Sanctuary at Bayfront at Rehoboth, the name alone speaks volumes about the exclusivity and serenity of this community. Picture yourself driving your golf cart to the Bay Beach, where you can launch your kayak or SUP for your very own "Salt Life" style of exercise or birdwatching on the water. This isn't just a home; it's a gateway to a lifestyle that celebrates the beauty of nature. Inside, a true gourmet kitchen awaits, equipped with every culinary convenience you could desire, including a built-in cappuccino maker. The special granite countertops accentuate the open-concept design, creating spacious areas perfect for hosting those memorable family gatherings. The circular great room offers breathtaking waterfront views, complemented by the warm glow of a gas fireplace. The kitchen seamlessly flows into an inviting porch, featuring a second two-sided fireplace, equally enjoyable whether you're indoors or outdoors on the patio. From there, you'll overlook the pristine pool, cozy fire pit, serene water features, and expansive wetlands. The outdoor scene is further elevated by a majestic, natural fountain adjacent to your private heated saltwater pool, complete with a "fast lane" feature for your laps. Plus, your peace of mind is assured with a secure fence that allows the kids and pets to roam freely. The primary suite is a sanctuary of its own, complete with a comfortable sitting area and an office space boasting endless views. The primary bath invites relaxation with its spacious tub and oversized shower. Many guest bedrooms feature built-in TVs for extra convenience. Additionally, there's a second living space that could easily transform into a formal office, offering flexibility to cater to your family's needs. As you step out to the patio, you'll discover a built-in grill and beverage fridge, making outdoor entertaining a breeze. The community itself is a gem, featuring a beautiful clubhouse with a kitchen, meeting rooms, and space for celebrations. A fitness center, community pool, and playground offer additional amenities, all overlooking the picturesque Bay. While the community as a whole boasts generous lots, this property stands as one of the largest in the entire community and particularly in The Sanctuary. You haven't truly experienced the best of beach living until you've explored all that this home, property, and community have to offer. Embrace the tranquility and resort-style living at a fraction of the cost compared to many other communities. Come and live life to the fullest here – your dream lifestyle awaits!
