About this home
A welcoming front porch, a classic porch swing, and the enduring character of the 1930s make this charming farmhouse feel like home from the moment you arrive. Offering three bedrooms and two baths, it pairs treasured architectural details with comfortable everyday living, all on a large fenced yard backing to open farmland.
Inside, original millwork frames the doorways, windows, and staircase, while crown molding adds a graceful finishing touch to the living room. A coat drop zone offers a convenient place to settle in, and a distinctive diamond-shaped window adds personality. Set on a brick platform, a corner pellet stove brings warmth throughout the home, creating an inviting setting for cooler days. Recessed lighting brightens both the living room and kitchen.
An atrium door opens to the kitchen, where a vaulted ceiling and several windows create a bright, airy atmosphere. A porcelain farmhouse sink, gas cooking, and a stainless steel refrigerator with an ice and water dispenser combine charm with practicality, while a pantry cabinet provides additional storage. The adjoining breakfast nook, also featuring a vaulted ceiling and accented by wainscoting, is a delightful spot for morning coffee or a casual meal.
A pass-through connects the kitchen to the dining room, where two arched doorways and crown molding continue the home’s distinctive character. This versatile space could also serve as a family room, with an atrium door opening to the backyard. Nearby, the laundry room features a front-loading washer and dryer and a handy folding counter, along with a full bathroom with a stall shower.
Upstairs, two bedrooms and another full bathroom showcase more of the home’s beautiful millwork. One bedroom overlooks the backyard and farm fields beyond, offering a lovely view through the changing seasons. A short additional staircase leads to the third bedroom and an adjoining space with potential for a generous walk-in closet.
The large fenced backyard offers room to garden, gather, and enjoy the outdoors, with a patio perfect for outdoor dining and open farmland creating a scenic backdrop. A shed provides convenient storage for tools and outdoor essentials.
A nearby town park adds to the appeal with a playset, exercise equipment, basketball court, and picnic pavilion. Convenient access to Route 113 keeps everyday travel easy, while coastal destinations are within reach, with the Bethany Beach Boardwalk approximately 11 miles away, Fenwick Island State Park approximately 13 miles away, and Freeman Arts Pavilion approximately 9 miles away. Full of warmth and original character, this inviting home offers a charming place to put down roots....
