Property description
Tucked away in the tranquil backdrop of Townsend, Delaware, awaits a home that seamlessly blends comfort, character, and endless potential. Introducing a charming 4-bedroom, 2-bathroom single-family residence sited on a grand 11.5-acre expanse. Feel the embrace of nature and complete privacy with lush woods enveloping the house. As you step onto the property, a generously sized driveway greets you, leading to a convenient 2-car garage—ideal for car enthusiasts or those simply craving extra storage. The first-floor layout is thoughtfully designed for convenience and ease of living, boasting a laundry room, two spacious bedrooms, and a full bath. Venture upstairs and discover the remaining two bedrooms. A unique feature to note is the additional lofted room attached to one of the bedrooms, presenting a versatile space that could seamlessly function as an extra living area or a dedicated office. Completing the upstairs is the second full bathroom, ensuring privacy and convenience for all occupants. Inside, the ambiance is one of classic charm, with spaces that have been lovingly maintained over the years. While the interiors exude a timeless appeal, there's ample scope for you to put your stamp on it. Visualize introducing modern upgrades, making these spaces the perfect blend of yesterday's character and today's style. But the true showstopper? The expansive land that comes with it. While a portion boasts verdant woods, offering peace and tranquility, another reveals itself as cleared and flat—ripe with potential. Ever dreamt of establishing an equestrian haven? Here's your canvas. And thoughts of an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) or a pole-barn? The opportunities are as boundless as the horizon. Welcome to where dreams find their home.
