Property Description
Perched along the shores of the Delaware Bay, this exceptional waterfront property offers breathtaking sunsets, panoramic bay views, private beach access, and an unmatched coastal lifestyle. Recent major improvements make this exceptional bayfront property a truly rare offering. Updates include a new 50' x 10' enclosed, heated saltwater lap pool attached directly to the home, expanded living room, remodeled kitchen, new three-level bayfront decks, fully paid-off solar energy system, whole-house backup generator, new paver driveway and garage floor, major bulkhead and waterfront improvements, and professional landscaping throughout the property. Located in the waterfront community of Fortescue, this extensively improved bayfront residence offers approximately 3,600 square feet of living space with 4 bedrooms, including 2 primary suites, 3.5 bathrooms, multiple living and entertaining areas, and spectacular Delaware Bay views and sunsets. The centerpiece of the home is the newly constructed enclosed, heated saltwater lap pool, connected directly to the residence and designed for private swimming, exercise, therapy, relaxation, and entertaining while enjoying beautiful waterfront views. The main level features a remodeled kitchen with granite countertops, quality cabinetry, a built-in wine cooler, and expanded living and dining areas overlooking the bay. The main-floor primary suite offers private deck access, waterfront views, a spacious closet, a jetted tub, and a separate shower. Upstairs, the second primary suite features exceptional bay views, a private office area, and a kitchenette. Two additional bedrooms and a full bathroom provide comfortable accommodations for family and guests. The finished lower level includes a kitchen and bar area, full bathroom, recreation and exercise space, direct pool access, and entry to the attached two-car garage. Outside, enjoy three levels of waterfront decks, a 65-foot bayside bulkhead, additional side bulkheads, a fenced yard, private stairs leading directly to the beach, and sweeping views across the Delaware Bay. The bayfront community of Fortescue is benefiting from more than $36 million in major infrastructure improvements, including public sewer anticipated to be available in 2027, supporting the future of this historic waterfront community. True bayfront opportunities are increasingly rare - they simply do not make properties like this. Offered fully furnished, this distinctive turnkey property is ideal for seasonal living, extended family, entertaining, or a private waterfront retreat.
