Property Description
A perfect location on over an acre! Available only due to transfer, this sought after Stover Builder's home in one of the most desirable neighborhoods and areas of Middletown. THe owner has made many recent and important updates to make it as good, if not better than new: roof (under warranty), heat, air conditioning, hot water, septic (recently inspected and County permitted), and new Trek Deck updated kitchen marble counters and flooring, just to name a few items. The main level and walls in the upper level were recently painted. A new owner can move in with knowledge that the home has been meticulously maintained and upgraded. The interiors of the home feature an open, sunny floor plan with expansive rooms. There is not a room without a lovely view of property and landscaping. Whether you are working in the private office on the main level, or entertaining small or large parties, or just having a quiet day home sitting inside by the cozy stone (with new gas insert) fireplace, or out on the covered front porch or on the beatufiul back deck, or in the backyard at the fire pit, or puttering in the work room in the basement or large shed in the back-- there is lots to enjoy in this beautiful home. The private front room office has double windows and french door. From the center hall entry with lofty ceiling, enter the large sunny living room and adjoining dining room that accomodates a table for 4 to 10. The kitchen features solid oak wood cabinetry, marble counters, loads of cabinet and counter space and a pantry with full view of the huge breakfast area and family room, and access through patio doors to the new, large Trek deck. The house runs on gas, which extends to the fireplace, but if you prefer to switch to wood burning, you could per the Seller, as it is a real and complete chimney. Please note the vaulted family room with area spacious enough for multiple interest areas, or plenty of seating while watching movies or sports. There is a;sp a mudroom/laundry room with full closet conveninently located as you leave the living area to the oversized 3-car garage. Upstairs features 4 Bedrooms, a hall bath, and a large primary suite that includes room for king size bed and large dressers, chests and bedside seating, double master walk in closets, 5 piece bath, and a retreat large enough for an excercise room, nursery or second office. Note that the lower level basement foundation is expanded fully under the family room & features a New Castle County permitted egress so you are all set to finish the basement as you choose. There is room for a hobbiest to have a work room, and plenty of room for a second family room, and a theatre room should you wish to finish the basement. The pipe below the egress window is part of the system that displaces rainwater from the egress to the french drain. Everything was done right, and you can enjoy a home with great bones, great systems in an desirable, established neighborhood. The home's proximity to the Summitt Bridge and easy, minutes access to Newark, Chesapeake City, commuting routes south and north (I95/896) or easy access to Route 1 if you prefer, make it great for a commuter. For relaxation and sporting, neighbors love the restaurants near by, the historic and water views available within a few minutes. Golfing enthusiasts will enjoy Back Creek which is 5 minutes away in the adjacent community. Also nearby are facilities for boating/boat docks, aviation, Lums State Park, and the list goes on. A couple of important updates: The end of Ernest Drive, will be a walk way (no road) to the new community being built on the other side per New Castle County and the HOA president: there will be no through road. PLEASE NOTE: VIDEO SURVEILLANCE IS ACTIVE ONSITE AT ALL TIMES
