Description

Perfectly positioned just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Milton, this beautifully maintained residence seamlessly blends timeless character with thoughtful modern updates, presenting an exceptional opportunity for both homeowners and investors. Situated on an expansive corner lot just outside the Historic District (and not subject to architectural restrictions), the property offers rare flexibility paired with outstanding walkability to local dining, boutique shops, the library, and Milton Memorial Park Inside, classic charm is evident throughout, highlighted by refinished hardwood flooring and a well-designed floor plan. The main level features an oversized living room, a separate dining area, a full bath, and a well-appointed kitchen with new stainless steel appliances, along with a convenient laundry area equipped with an updated washer and dryer. The unfinished basement is ideal for additional storage. Upstairs, three bedrooms include a comfortable primary suite, complemented by a beautifully updated full bath featuring a newly installed oversized tile shower. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a welcoming front porch and a spacious newly constructed rear deck overlooking the private backyard, perfect for relaxing or entertaining. The deep lot affords ample off-street parking and includes a large detached two-car garage, ideal for storing beach gear, bikes, and lawn equipment. Additional upgrades include a newly installed outdoor shower, cordless blinds throughout, a new dining room chandelier, and comfort-height toilets on both levels. Major systems including windows, roof, heating, vinyl siding, and gutters are all relatively recent updates, offering added peace of mind and long-term value. Whether as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or investment property with strong rental potential, this home delivers an ideal blend of location, charm, and versatility in one of coastal Delaware’s most desirable small-town settings. Enjoy the best of Milton’s coastal lifestyle with a variety of nearby recreational opportunities. Launch a kayak from the downtown park along the Broadkill River, spend the day golfing at The Rookery Golf Course, or enjoy fishing at Wagamon’s Pond. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate exploring the scenic beauty of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Ideally located, Milton is within approximately 30 minutes of Downtown Lewes, Lewes Beach, Cape Henlopen State Park, and Rehoboth Beach. The property also offers convenient access to Milton Elementary School, Mariner Middle School, and the renowned Dogfish Head Craft Brewery!
