About this home

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.

Why this home stands out

This 1976-built home sits on a generous lot near the water's edge of the Lynnhaven River area. Five thousand square feet gives you room to spread out—four bedrooms and three full baths mean everyone gets their own space. The layout reflects classic mid-1970s design with potential for updates. You're minutes from two major military installations and steps from waterfront parks and trails.

BAY COLONY and the Virginia Beach real estate market

East Bay Shore is a quiet, established neighborhood where tree-lined streets meet waterfront access. Homes here tend toward larger lots and older construction, giving the area a relaxed, spacious feel. You'll find a mix of single-family residences set back from the road, with water views and natural green space nearby. Virginia Beach itself is a sprawling coastal city with strong military presence and year-round recreation. The barrier islands and oceanfront lie east; downtown and Naval Station Norfolk are south. Getting around is easy on major roads like General Booth Boulevard and I-264. Anyone comparing homes for sale in 23451 will notice this zip code's proximity to both NAS Oceana and Dam Neck Annex, plus the natural beauty of First Landing State Park just minutes away.

What's nearby

Bay Colony Park is a short walk—less than half a mile—with playgrounds and green space. The best trail head in First Landing and Long Creek Trail are both under a mile away, perfect for hiking and nature walks. Surf Club Ocean Grille sits less than a mile north if you want dinner without the drive. You're in a neighborhood where water access and outdoor recreation are part of daily life.

For different buyers

About nine minutes to NAS Oceana and twelve to Dam Neck Annex. VA loan financing is straightforward in this area. The home's size and lot give you room to settle in without a major renovation before moving day. Established neighborhood with good road access to base.

Room to grow

A large lot opens up options for a yard project or outdoor living space. Anyone comparing homes for sale zoned for Cox High School or homes for sale zoned for Linkhorn Park Elementary School will appreciate the room this address offers.
