Discover Refined Living Where Quality Meets Purpose. Welcome to your next home—an elegant blend of timeless craftsmanship and everyday functionality. Ideally situated near Lewes, Rehoboth Beach, and the historic Town of Milton, this remarkable property offers not only a superior lifestyle but also a sound investment in enduring quality. Featuring a thoughtfully designed 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout, this residence is meticulously upgraded throughout. From the premium Hardie Board siding to the Andersen casement windows, every element reflects an unwavering commitment to durability and design. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the expansive hardscaping, along with a versatile 15’ x 30’ standalone building that can be tailored to your unique needs. For added utility, a 30’ x 40’ pole barn/garage includes a dedicated office and a custom game room complete with a vintage bar—perfect for entertaining or working from home. Pet owners will find unmatched value in the professional-grade, climate-controlled 3-kennel dog run, which includes electrical service and three covered exterior runs, ensuring comfort and convenience year-round. The layout inside the main home combines style with practicality. Rich hickory hardwood floors extend through all four bedrooms, while tile flooring in the kitchen, foyer, and bathrooms ensures lasting performance. The living room centers around a cozy gas fireplace, and custom trim work adds subtle sophistication throughout. Two spacious primary suites each feature their own modernized en-suite baths and private outdoor access—ideal for multigenerational living or guest accommodations. Two additional guest bedrooms share a full bath. The chef’s kitchen is a standout, boasting custom hickory cabinetry, granite countertops, under-cabinet LED lighting, and a large island with butcher block top and built-in storage—designed for both function and entertaining. Step outside and the home continues to impress: a screened porch, composite deck with hot tub, two covered pergolas, and a newly installed privacy fence set the stage for outdoor enjoyment. A tranquil koi pond with waterfall and a stone fire pit offer the perfect setting for relaxing or hosting gatherings. An outdoor shower with hot and cold water provides added convenience for beachgoers or pet owners. Additional upgrades include: Solar panels for energy efficiency and significant cost savings, professionally encapsulated crawl space with commercial-grade dehumidifier, Brand new septic system, and a Culligan whole-house water softener. A detailed list of over $250,000 in improvements is available within the Disclosure portion of this listing. This extraordinary property must be seen to be truly appreciated.
