About This Property

Ideally located just outside Milford, the property offers convenient access to nearby hospitals, schools, local conveniences, and the vibrant downtown district, filled with charming shops, inviting restaurants, and just a short drive to miles of Delaware's beautiful coastline. Offering both serenity and sophistication, this residence presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living in a peaceful, wooded setting.

Bathed in natural light, the room is framed by large picture windows and an oversized glass slider that showcases woodland views and provides effortless access to the covered rear deck and patio.

A cozy fireplace anchors the living area, bringing warmth and welcome to this inviting space. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat featuring a tray ceiling, a spacious walk-in closet plus an additional reach-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanity and a walk-in shower. Also on the main level are a guest bedroom, a dedicated home office, and a flexible bonus room ideal for formal dining, a hobby room, or an additional living space.
