What's special
*Attention buyers! Seller is entirely funding a brand-new septic system! Buyers who act quickly will have the option to choose septic plan: either a 4-bedroom plan or a lower impact 3-bedroom. (See documents for plan drawings) A truly rare opportunity awaits at 1554 Lorewood Grove! Offered at $600,000, this one-of-a-kind Middletown property combines flexible living space, exceptional outbuildings and an expansive one-acre setting—all with no HOA and located within the highly regarded Appoquinimink School District. The main residence currently offers three bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the first floor. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom features its own private en-suite bathroom. An additional oversized activity room was previously configured as two separate bedrooms, providing exciting possibilities for future use. Thoughtful improvements include a new furnace, two air-conditioning systems—including one installed in 2019—a new roof installed in 2021, owned solar panels, new teak flooring and an inviting Trex front porch. The home also features a gas range, hardwired FiOS and home-phone connections, and an average electric bill of approximately $200 per month. Outside, the fenced yard offers room to garden, entertain and enjoy the privacy of almost an acre. An extensive paver patio with a built-in outdoor fireplace creates an impressive gathering space for evenings with family and friends. Adding even more value is the detached three-car garage with approximately 1,500 square feet of additional space above it. This upper level features cork flooring, water, electric and a mini-split system for heating and cooling. It is ideal for a studio, home office, recreation area or other flexible use and may offer future accessory-dwelling potential with the addition of a kitchen and bathroom, subject to all applicable permits and governmental approvals. The property also benefits from a grandfathered business-use NCC zoning, creating an unusual opportunity for an owner who wants space to live, work, create or expand. With its versatile floor plan, extensive improvements, owned solar, detached three-car garage, substantial bonus space, almost one-acre lot, Appoquinimink School District location and no HOA, 1554 Lorewood Grove is an exceptional Middletown property that is difficult to duplicate.
