The long-awaited final release at The Colony is here! Introducing one of just seven remaining opportunities in this highly anticipated reopening of The Colony in Bear, Delaware. Perfectly situated North of the Canal off Route 896 and located within the sought-after Appoquinimink School District, these limited homes are expected to sell quickly. Best of all, this home is scheduled for a Fall 2026 move-in, allowing you to enjoy a brand-new home before the holidays.
Situated on one of the community's premier homesites, 340 Appleford Drive is among the select few that accommodates the desirable morning room extension, creating even more light-filled living space. A welcoming foyer opens to a versatile flex room, ideal for a home office, playroom, formal living room, or dining room. The heart of the home showcases an open-concept design where the gourmet kitchen, spacious great room, and sun-filled morning room seamlessly flow together—perfect for entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is beautifully appointed with 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, a large island, and wide-plank flooring that extends throughout the entire main living area. A cozy fireplace anchors the great room, while a first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath offers exceptional flexibility for guests or multi-generational living.
Upstairs, you'll find four additional bedrooms, including an expansive primary suite featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a luxurious en suite bath. Three generously sized secondary bedrooms—one with an oversized walk-in closet—share a centrally located full bath, and the conveniently located second-floor laundry room makes everyday living effortless.
The finished basement provides even more functional living space with a large recreation area, an additional full bathroom, and abundant unfinished storage for seasonal décor and everyday essentials.
With an unbeatable location, exceptional included features, and only seven homes remaining in this long-awaited final release, this is a rare opportunity to become part of one of Bear's most desirable communities. Schedule your tour today—these homes are not expected to last long.
