A rare and elegant deep waterfront offering in the heart of Bay Colony, this exceptional four bedroom residence with three full and two half bathrooms captures expansive Crystal Lake views from almost every room. Set on an oversized 1.1 acre professionally landscaped lot, the property offers an extraordinary sense of privacy and tranquility, with lush gardens, mature trees, fountains, water features, and a picturesque pond overlooking Crystal Lake. A large circular drive protected by mature hedging leads to the new 2026 gated entry, covered porch, brick walkway, and beautiful double front doors. Inside, a soaring cathedral foyer with skylights opens to elegant living spaces framed by floor-to-ceiling Anderson windows and spectacular water views. Rich hardwood floors, crown molding, wide baseboards, refined architectural details, a gourmet chef’s kitchen, butler's pantry and two separate wet bars elevate the home. Enjoy the convenience of two luxurious primary suites, one on the first floor with its own private wing with fireplace, bookshelves, walk-in closet, private sitting area, and upgraded primary bath, and the second primary option on the second floor offering a separate sitting area and luxurious bathroom. Outdoors, a gazebo on the dock provides the perfect setting for enjoying all waterfront living has to offer, and features 21.5 tons of rip rap added to the bulkhead in October 2025. A truly distinctive Bay Colony estate where luxury, privacy, precise architecture, and extraordinary deep waterfront living combine.
