1.26-acre "homestead" offers all the privacy you crave, but is only 15 miles from the public beach at Broadkill or 20 miles to the Lewes public beach, with the Cape Henlopen State Park just 1.5 mile further if you want to surf fish or explore those beaches & the Park's trails. And Dover is only 30 miles north for a quick commute if you work in Kent County. The home features a formal living room with hardwood floors and a nearby powder room for the comfort of your company & you. The sunken family room also has hardwood floors, built-in shelving, and a newer wood stove with a stacked-stone surround to keep you toasty warm in the winter and cooler months. The dining room, with picture-frame wainscoting finishes & hardwood floors, adjoins the spacious kitchen. The oversized kitchen has so much cabinet space, and is accented with a contemporary tile backsplash, and tile floors. Appliances include a 5-burner Maytag cooktop, Maytag double wall ovens, an Amana double-door fridge with ice maker, a built-in microwave, dishwasher & disposal.

The other two bedrooms and bath are on the second floor, and both bedrooms are generously sized with laminate flooring. First floor laundry room with a utility sink. Nicely wooded lot features a 6' privacy fence in the backyard and a large L-shaped deck from which to enjoy the views. Storage shed, chicken coop for 6-10 hens/rooster, and raised garden beds out back now. Still plenty of space for a pool if you want one. Electric baseboard heat, 2015 septic system & a private well for water all help to keep your utility bills low. Low property taxes. No HOA, so bring your boat, other watercrafts or RV.
