THE SETTING: This house is in a lovely setting in the historic town of Milton, DE. Its two front porches showcase a view of the Broadkill River. Opening the front window curtains in the morning is like unveiling an Impressionist painting, per the owners. Bald eagles, seagulls, and herons can be seen too! Cherry trees along the water mark the changing with their pink flowers, autumn leaves, and holiday lights. The Wednesday night summer concerts in the park can be enjoyed right from the porches. As the sun sets, the sky often takes on a soft pink hue and the water glistens. Drinks on a porch are always better with a view! THE FEATURES: Several features stand out to make living in this home effortless. The Main Floor, accessed by the elevator from the lower level or stairs, offers the ease of true ranch-style living. This design functions well with a split bedroom layout that includes walk-in closets, a home office off the foyer, and a spacious living room, kitchen, and dining area in the center. A large walk-in pantry lies just off the kitchen. Across from it is a well- equipped laundry room, with access to a deck and the backyard. A 6’ cedar fence and lush arbor vitae create privacy. There is a large paver patio, a smaller bluestone patio, and landscaped beds. However, if a pool is desired, this yard could accommodate one! A whole house generator provides peace of mind during stormy weather. An irrigation system, with a separate water meter, helps maintain the lawn. The Lower Level can accommodate up to 5 vehicles; one of four garages allows two cars to be parked in tandem. The ample storage space can also accommodate multiple workbenches and has room for jet skis, kayaks, or even a boat. There is a center finished area with an outside entrance as well as opening to the garages. A drop zone, the elevator, closets and a sink are in this area. The Upper Level is a flex space. It can be used as a game room, exercise area, or for additional sleeping space for guests. It includes a full bath. THE ACCESSABILITY: One of the remarkable advantages of this house is its accessibility to the town and services. It is a five minute walk to the theater, restaurants, library, and shops. A bit of a longer walk leads one to a delightful coffeehouse and additional restaurant choices. The grocery store, pharmacy, post office, and even urgent care are a five to ten minute drive. The town’s beautiful Historical Society and Friday’s Farmer’s Market are also just down the street.
