Local Window Treatment Experience in Sunset Bay (with Replat of Sunset Bay)
Sunset Bay is not one recorded subdivision. The county carries Sunset Bay, Replat of Sunset Bay and Villas of Sunset Bay as separate names covering the same sixteen houses, which is worth knowing before you search for anything about it. What ties them together is a build pattern: twelve construction years spread from 1986 to 2022, no production plan set, and no two houses designed to the same window schedule. Ten of the sixteen are two stories, which is unusual in a town where only 40.5 percent of single family parcels reach 2.0 stories at all. Expect roughly 18 to 32 openings on the 1,898 to 4,338 square foot range recorded here.</p><p style="font-size:16px;color:#4a5a6a;line-height:1.75;margin:16px 0 0">The pattern that defines the work is where the glass sits. On these lakefront lots the main living space and the primary bedroom both face the water, glazed as heavily as the structure allows, with a deck or a screen porch immediately outside. That single arrangement drives most of what we specify: solar control on the living space by day, and genuine darkness in a bedroom whose largest wall is glass. Cicero sits on the north east shore of Morse Reservoir, so the water lies south and west of the town, but nobody has verified orientation lot by lot and we take a compass reading at the measure rather than trusting the plat name.
We have served Sunset Bay (with Replat of Sunset Bay) homeowners through the full range of window treatment needs, from inspections and repairs to full replacements. Whatever the system, our Cicero crew approaches every project with clear communication and respect for your property.
Sunset Bay housing: sixteen houses, twelve construction years
The recorded years are 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2003, 2005, 2011 and 2022, which means this plat was still absorbing new construction thirty six years after its first house went up. That puts it in a small group of Cicero plats, alongside Cicero Shores and Morse Landing, that opened decades ago and are still recording work. Styles track the decades: late-1980s and 1990s lake traditional at the start, 2000s custom in the middle, and one 2022 modern rebuild that shares nothing structurally with its neighbors. No builder was identified for any of it. These were individually built houses on individual lots.
Ten of the sixteen parcels are recorded at 2.0 stories, and recorded residential floor area runs 1,898 to 4,338 square feet, so this is larger stock than Cicero Shores' cottage core but well short of Stillwater Cove's 8,138 square foot ceiling. Lot acreage wasn't pulled separately for this plat, and there's no isolated price band for sixteen houses. The closest published comparison for Cicero waterfront is Morse Landing, where gross assessed values run $198,000 to $1,575,800. We won't quote a Sunset Bay figure we can't source, and none of it changes the measure anyway, since the openings decide the price.
Sixteen houses, sixteen window schedules
At 1,898 to 4,338 square feet the count runs roughly 18 to 32 openings, but the distribution is what matters: the water elevation carries a disproportionate share of it. Expect mulled banks, sliding door walls with transoms above them, and a screened porch or three season room with glass on more than one side. The 1986 to 1999 houses carry arched heads and two story foyer glass, which is the specification signature of that decade; the 2022 house does not, and treating them as the same job is how a quote goes wrong. Casing follows the same split, with returns wrapped into the opening and no applied casing on most of the older houses and a clean square jamb on the newest.
Squareness runs from 3 years on the 2022 house to 39 on the 1987 one, so a three point measure is not optional even in a plat this small. Sixteen houses is also too few to support a rule about great room glass: the larger houses probably have it, and we check rather than assume. What is consistent is the bedroom problem. When the primary bedroom's largest wall faces open water, an inside mount shade leaving the 3/4 inch per side light gap Lutron publishes on a Roller 20/64 will not give you a dark room, and no amount of fabric weight fixes a gap at the edge. That's a hardware problem, so it gets a hardware answer.
Side channels and a light blocking pocket
A room darkening fabric only performs as well as its edges. On a Sunset Bay primary bedroom facing the reservoir we run side channels down both stiles and a light blocking pocket at the head, which is the only honest route to a genuinely dark room. It costs more than a plain inside mount and it changes how the shade looks on the wall, so we show it before the order rather than explaining it afterward.
Arched heads on the 1986 to 1999 houses
An arched head can be fitted with a fixed arch panel above a working shade below, or the shape can be left open and the treatment mounted above it. Fixed arch panels don't operate, which surprises people. Across Sunset Bay's 16 houses and 12 build years there's no repeatable arch template either, so every arch gets its own pattern taken on site rather than ordered from a size chart.
Door walls and where the stack goes
A sliding door wall onto the deck needs the stack cleared off the operating panel, not just off the glass. On the 1,898 to 4,338 square foot houses here that usually means mounting well above the header and running wider than the opening so the treatment stacks onto wall. Check the handle clearance too: a treatment that fouls a door handle gets pushed aside daily and shows it within a season.
Three names, one plat
Sunset Bay, Replat of Sunset Bay and Villas of Sunset Bay are three separate recorded subdivision names covering the same sixteen houses. That matters for quoting because a records search under one name misses the others, and it matters for expectations because a villa unit and a 1993 lake traditional are not the same measure. We work from the parcel's own record rather than from whichever name is on the sign.
What we specify in Sunset Bay
With sixteen houses and twelve construction years, there is no plan set to work from and no repeat order to lean on. Every Sunset Bay job is a one off, which is why we spend longer on the measure here than the size of the plat suggests. The specification concentrates on two rooms: a living space that wants the reservoir visible without the glare, and a primary bedroom on the same elevation that has to go properly dark. National pricing runs $250 to $2,600 per window on custom treatments and $175 to $800 per window on shutters, custom fabrication takes 2 to 5 weeks, and we're insured and insured with a written contract under IC 24-5-11 on anything over $150.
Room darkening roller shades with side channels
For the primary bedroom facing the water, a room darkening roller running in side channels with a light blocking pocket at the head is the product that actually delivers a dark room. A plain inside mount leaves the 3/4 inch per side gap Lutron publishes, and on a water elevation that gap reads as two bright lines at dawn. Channels add cost and change the look on the wall, so we show a sample first.
Dual shades
A dual shade puts an open band and a closed band on one roller, so the living space can hold the reservoir view through the afternoon and close down at night without a second product on the wall. Across Sunset Bay's 16 houses of door walls and mulled banks that's a lot of hardware saved. The trade to know: alignment of the bands is fussy on a wide assembly, and a wide shade will show any tube deflection at the middle.
Interior plantation shutters, composite
Composite panels belong in the rooms the reservoir makes humid: a bath, a screened porch conversion, or a three season room that swings hard between the 85.2F July average high and a 20.9F January average low. They hold a square frame in an opening that has moved over 39 years, and on the 1986 to 1999 arched heads a shutter carries the shape cleanly where a soft treatment fights it.
Sunset Bay, Stringtown Pike and the Morse Reservoir shore
Sunset Bay sits on the Cicero side of Morse Reservoir, reached from Stringtown Pike and running to the Beach Road frontage, with county GIS placing the plat near 40.103 N, 86.034 W. The recorded street names attached to it are short: Sunset Bay, Beach and Stringtown Pike itself. Morse Beach is close, and the reservoir covers about 1,500 acres with roughly 32.5 miles of shoreline and about 6.5 miles of length. Schooling is Hamilton Heights School Corporation, the same corporation serving Cicero, Arcadia and roughly 100 square miles of Jackson and White River townships, which is a different corporation from every neighboring town of comparable size.
