Discover a hidden gem in the Highlands community near Fairhill, ideally located just across the DE/MD line and minutes from I-95, the University of Delaware, and top shopping destinations. This beautifully maintained residence sits on a manicured and expansive 1.2-acre double lot that backs to serene woods, offering daily sightings of deer, rabbits, and foxes. With a limited HOA and ample outdoor space, the private backyard is perfect for entertaining—featuring room for an above-ground pool, RV parking, and more. Enjoy the outdoors from the 14x18 composite deck, complete with an 18-foot motorized SunSetter awning for shaded relaxation. Additional exterior highlights include a large shed, an oversized asphalt driveway, and a one-car garage with a new insulated door, opener, and freshly epoxyed flooring. Inside, the home boasts freshly painted neutral décor and updated vinyl flooring that create a modern, welcoming ambiance. The open-concept living and dining areas have been thoughtfully expanded by removing a dividing wall, adding space and flow to a cozy fireplace with mounted TV, chair rail accents, and tasteful finishes throughout. The kitchen features honey maple cabinetry, custom Corian countertops with a recessed sink, a Bosch dishwasher, convection oven, under-cabinet lighting, and custom pantry shelving. A main-level laundry room adds convenience with a washer, dryer, and large utility sink. Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms, each with ceiling fans for added comfort. The walk-out basement includes a finished recreation room and abundant unfinished storage, as well as access to full attic storage. Recent major updates include a new 30-year architectural roof (2015), heater (2014), AC and humidifier (2007), a 200-amp electrical panel, wiring for a standby generator, a 30A exterior outlet, updated lighting fixtures, ceiling fans, and enhanced insulation in both the attic and basement ceiling. Every detail reflects pride of ownership, making this move-in-ready home a rare and refined opportunity in a highly desirable location.
