If you love discreet luxury and recognize the beauty of nature with a coastal lifestyle, you'll appreciate this true gem in the Bayside Golf Resort. Set on a private wooded lot, this exquisite home is a testament to uncompromising luxury and refined taste. The grandeur of the property begins with an elegant foyer featuring cathedral ceilings, leading to a sophisticated dining area adorned with stylish design and a refrigerator bar. This fully furnished home showcases a grand living room with a striking stone fireplace and a contemporary, chic gourmet kitchen equipped with quartz countertops and double ovens. The owners' suite offers a cozy sitting area and a dual bathroom complete with a spa tub. Four bedrooms on the second level, along with three en-suite guest bedrooms, provide ample space for visitors. The outdoor area is equally impressive, featuring a screened porch and a spacious backyard bordered by trees—plenty of room for entertaining and outdoor activities in complete privacy. There's much to admire, including the tall ceilings, bonus/flex room, and elegant lighting fixtures. Every detail, from the architectural design to the interior finishes, has been carefully considered, creating an unparalleled residential experience. This inspiring home also presents hardwood floors, an estimated 3600 sq. ft of light and airy living space, a two-car garage, and more. Just four miles from the beach, the Bayside Community boasts numerous first-class amenities, including a beautiful Health & Aquatic Center, featuring a heated 75-foot, 5-lane indoor pool and an expansive fitness center; Har Tru and pickleball courts; 4 luxurious outdoor pools, a splash zone for kids, and a waterfall hot tub; basketball, volleyball, and bocce courts; nature trails; and a kayak launch. Bayside’s new and spectacular state-of-the-art clubhouse features Signatures Restaurant, a pro golf shop, a heated practice range, and The Hammer Golf Academy. If you venture closer to "The Point" and the 38 Degrees restaurant, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy al fresco dining overlooking the Assawoman Bay and Ocean City skyline. For entertainment and music lovers, Bayside also features the Freeman Arts Pavilion, a popular "under the stars" venue offering diverse arts performances and live music.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
