Description

Welcome to your private oasis in the peaceful community of Broadkill Beach. This private retreat offers scenic sunsets and easy access to Lewes and Milton for all beach resort attractions. Adjoining the lovely marsh of Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, the raised ranch sits on a large double lot with tall shade trees, and many flowering shrubs, plants and vines. This charming private sanctuary is only two blocks from Broadkill Beach on the Delaware Bay. A variety of outdoor living spaces include the screened porch, shaded decks, and a sunny deck overlooking a sea of Prime Hook NWR marsh grass and wildlife. The large sunny deck has a Sunsetter awning available as desired with the press of a button. You will find a paved back patio with room for a fire pit, a covered wooden deck overlooking your own garden pond (with or without fish), backed by an arched cedar lattice screen and a series of raised wooden decks, walkways and stone paths around the yard, and stairways to raised landscaped areas. This two-story home has many master furniture-maker touches including some built-in furniture. The two levels are joined by a handcrafted cherry and ash stairway. The custom made oak storm door at the front entry leads into the entry hall with cherry and ash art niche and wood slab foyer table. Upstairs the large living/dining room area boasts a built in cherry and ash storage unit with tambour doors. A circular revolving TV cabinet holds a small TV with a display area above and storage beneath. The brick fireplace in the living room has a propane gas insert and is surrounded by oak bookcases and mantle. The kitchen pleases with hickory Shaker style custom cabinets that even hold a recycling center, and of course has beautiful quartz countertops and sink. There is a full bath on each level, one with step-in safety shower, and built-in oak storage/linen cabinet. Upstairs are two bedrooms with the primary showing off a maple custom king-size headboard flanked with tall storage cabinets. The primary bedroom and bath have supplemental electric baseboard heating. An extra room tucked away next to the living room is currently used as an office, and a large laundry room is off the hall with plenty of shelving, washer, dryer and Tankless water heater. There is an attic with pull down stairs. Two rooms on lower level ( a bedroom/movie room and a family room ) off the entry hall have ceramic tile flooring. A workshop has replaced the former one car garage (which can be reconverted) and there is a large storage area adjacent to the workshop providing possibilities for additional living space. You will also find an attached shed entered from the side garden. There is a fully fenced yard with two lockable gates, two driveways and a carport with a lockable door. The largest window and glass doors sport hurricane shutters and plywood panels provided for storm protection to cover smaller second floor windows and door. This home also has flood protection gates for three ground level entryways. No HOA fees. Come and enjoy relaxing on the beach, fishing or kayaking. All the privacy you could want and whether you are seeking a full-time residence, beach getaway or a property with great rental income - This is it!
