Welcome to one of the finest homes in the gated community of Bethany Lakes, located less than 1.5 miles to downtown Bethany Beach. This 5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Toll Brothers home sits on the best lot in the neighborhood, offering picturesque pond views and a backdrop of mature arborvitaes that create a true private oasis. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the thoughtful design and exceptional care that has gone into maintaining this home. Dual staircases, including one with a chairlift, make the layout convenient for all. Hardwood floors in the foyer and kitchen set a warm tone, while the great room impresses with soaring cathedral ceilings, abundant natural light, and a striking floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that anchors the space. The kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring granite counters, a glass tile backsplash, glass cabinetry, a gas cooktop, double ovens, and an island with a perfect view of the pond. A formal dining room, casual eating area, and sunroom provide versatile spaces, while the expansive screened porch overlooks the fountain pond and your private saltwater in-ground pool.

The primary suite is a retreat of its own, complete with a reading nook, tray ceiling, large walk-in closet, and a spa-like bath featuring a walk-in shower and a Kohler walk-in tub with jets and heated seating. A second suite with a private balcony also enjoys pond and pool views. Three additional oversized bedrooms provide plenty of space for family, guests, or even a recreation room. High-end draperies, custom valances, zebra shades, plantation shutters, and ceiling fans throughout add comfort and style. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with dual decks, an outdoor shower, and beautifully landscaped grounds.
