Description
Set on just over two acres in peaceful Townsend, this charming split-level home pairs modern farmhouse style with the quiet comfort of country living. A long, tree-lined driveway welcomes you home, offering privacy and a picturesque first impression. Crisp white brick and siding, fresh landscaping, and a quaint front porch create irresistible curb appeal, while the oversized detached garage and abundant parking make everyday life wonderfully easy. Inside, the main level opens into a bright, airy living space where a bay window pulls in natural light and dark-plank flooring adds warmth throughout. The living room flows effortlessly into the spacious kitchen and dining area, complete with white cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, generous storage, and room to gather. A stylish powder room and direct access to the backyard complete this level. Downstairs, a versatile second living area invites endless possibilities: a cozy family room, an office, a gym, or even a fourth bedroom. The laundry room and utilities are tucked on this level as well, keeping the main floor relaxed and clutter-free. Upstairs, you’ll find three well-sized bedrooms and a beautifully updated full bath featuring a modern double-sink vanity and neutral finishes that complement the home’s clean, cozy aesthetic. Ceiling fans throughout the home add comfort, and every room feels light, open, and move-in ready. Out back, the property truly shines. The fully fenced yard extends into additional acreage, giving you room to garden, explore, or create the outdoor oasis of your dreams. Unwind in the hot tub, entertain under the pergola, or enjoy quiet mornings on the patio/deck overlooking your own private stretch of land. A large shed offers even more storage for tools, hobbies, or equipment. With all major systems under 10 years old, including an HVAC system replaced just three years ago, peace of mind comes built in. And located within the highly regarded Appoquinimink School District, this home offers both comfort and convenience in one of Delaware’s most desirable areas. A rare blend of charm, land, flexibility, and thoughtful upkeep, this is country living at its most inviting.
