210 Chestnut St, Milton, DE 19968

Built in an era when the aroma of fresh baked pies sitting on the kitchen window sill to cool wafted through the air, when the doors were left open and the windows left up at night to hear the distant whistle of the steam locomotive, when you walked to the neighbors house to borrow a cup of sugar, and when neighbors gathered on the veranda in the cool of the evening. This lovely home was born the same year as Oscar Hammerstein opened the Olympia Theater in New York, when Booker T Washington delivered his famous Atlanta Compromise speech, Babe Ruth was born, and Frederick Douglas passed away. This timeless, classic home, built in true colonial style has 4 bedrooms and is on a corner lot in the historic district of Milton. Two of the bedrooms are on the main level and the other two upstairs. The rear yard is fenced in for privacy and there is an oversized two car garage. No HOA, no land lease, no septic or well to contend with, the taxes are ridiculously low, about $500 a year. Coming from other Mid-Atlantic states, think what you could do with the tax savings alone. Walk to the town center for shopping and dining, or to the riverwalk for an evening stroll. This home is a history buffs dream come true, it just needs your imagination!
