Property Description
Set on an oversized ⅓-acre lot, this meticulously maintained home offers unobstructed views of the 10,000-acre Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, providing a tranquil and ever-changing backdrop of nature. Mature gardens filled with hydrangeas, roses, English boxwoods, and perennials create a lush, low-maintenance oasis thanks to the protective pine grove across the street.
Designed with light and space in mind, the three-level home features oversized windows, skylights, and an open floor plan that captures stunning views from nearly every room. The first level includes a large bedroom with walk-in closet, a luxurious full bath with a claw-foot soaking tub, and a spacious living and dining area with custom wainscoting. A mudroom and utility room with new washer/dryer complete this level—offering potential for an in-law suite or kitchenette conversion.
On the second level, a dramatic living room with 20-foot ceilings, marble fireplace, and two sliding glass doors opens to a wraparound deck overlooking the refuge and gardens. The adjoining dining area with built-in corner cupboard also connects to the deck for seamless indoor-outdoor entertaining. The chef's kitchen features custom dovetailed cabinetry, quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and a hand-painted Folk Art mural by a local artist. The primary suite offers garden views, crown molding, and a spa-like bath with ceramic tile and walk-in shower.
The third level features two spacious bedrooms with high ceilings, ample closets, and a shared full
bath. Outdoors, multiple boardwalks, sitting areas, and water features provide serene spaces for relaxation or gatherings. A custom-built shed and outdoor shower with hot and cold water complement the home's design, while the white marble rock driveway accommodates up to five vehicles.
Location highlights include:
* Once the new overpass is complete, you'll drive from Wilmington to your beach house without a single stoplight or stop sign.
* Only 10 minutes to historic Milton, known for its restaurants, boutique shops, medical services, and as home to five Delaware governors.
* Five minutes to an 18-hole championship golf course, designed by Pete Oakley, a former Senior British Open winner.
* Bordered by Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge and Beach Plum Island State Park, ensuring no future large-scale development and offering trails, bike paths, and kayaking nearby.
* The Broadkill Beach community is known for its warm, welcoming spirit—featuring a beloved Broadkill Store with homemade sandwiches and doughnuts, an annual Christmas tree lighting, festive Fourth of July parade, and community beach cleanups that preserve the beauty of this coastal gem.
Just a five-minute stroll to the beach, this exceptional home combines timeless craftsmanship, privacy, and natural beauty—a hidden coastal retreat reminiscent of the Outer Banks, right here on Delaware's quiet coast.
