Imagine waking up every morning to the gentle sounds of nature and tranquil waterviews overlooking Hammond Pond on your own private natural sanctuary! Here is your chance to escape every evening while watching the wildlife and waterfowl nestle in on a sprawling .85-acre lot - this is serenity! Inside this custom built ranch home, you'll find natural light illuminating the expansive living room and oversized windows with spectacular views from the dining room, kitchen, and the primary bedroom which includes a walk in closet and ensuite bathroom. Gleaming hardwood floors flow seamlessly throughout the main level living spaces. But wait, there’s more! A walk-out basement has been cleverly transformed into a studio apartment with a private path to the entrance, complete with a kitchen and full bath – perfect for guests, in-laws, or even a savvy rental opportunity. This home has been lovingly updated, boasting a remodeled hall bath with classic subway tile, a brand-new furnace, and a spacious deck added in 2020 (hello, summer BBQs!). With a newer septic system (2018), roof (2012), water pump (2018), and hot water heater (2023), you can rest easy knowing the big-ticket items are taken care of. For the outdoor enthusiast, there’s freshwater fishing and a path to launch your kayak into the open pond. Storage is a breeze with a walk-up attic, dry unfinished section of the basement, and an oversized 2-car garage. Plus, enjoy the convenience of a large laundry room, pantry, and central vacuum. Once you are a home, you'll never want to leave! But don't worry, when you do have to, this location is just outside of city limits and only minutes to the many amenities offered in the City Milford, including the downtown riverwalk, local eateries, grocery, shopping, golfing, & Bayhealth Hospital's Sussex Campus. Plus it's a short drive to the beaches or Dover! This isn’t just a house or just a great investment for yourself; it’s a lifestyle upgrade!
