Rare Opportunity in the Cape School District with Property Taxes Under $1,200 per Year! Welcome to 16260 Edgewater Drive, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath home in the peaceful community of River Rock Run in Milton. Situated on a private, professionally landscaped lot that backs to HOA-owned wooded land, this home offers a rare opportunity for long-term privacy and protection from future development—something buyers are increasingly seeking. Step inside to an open, light-filled floor plan featuring hardwood flooring throughout the main living areas. The home offers a dedicated dining room, first-floor powder room, and a spacious eat-in kitchen designed for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen features granite countertops, a bar-height peninsula, tile backsplash, gas range, and ample cabinetry. The living room is warm and inviting with a cozy gas fireplace. The first-floor primary suite is a true retreat with a massive walk-in closet and spa-style en-suite bath featuring dual sinks and a beautifully tiled shower with bench seating. Upstairs, you’ll find three additional generously sized bedrooms plus a large walk-in attic above the garage that can easily be finished for additional living space, offering excellent potential to expand the home’s square footage. Outdoor living is just as impressive with a deck, paver patio with fire pit, and a 6-person hot tub, all surrounded by a lush irrigated lawn with a Rain Bird irrigation system in both the front and backyard—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Additional highlights include two separate electric HVAC systems (with approximately 3 years remaining under warranty), conditioned crawlspace, water treatment system, newer water heater, and a two-car garage. A one-year home warranty is also being offered to the buyer for added peace of mind. Gravity septic system was placed and designed to leave room for future development for a private pool. Located just minutes from downtown Milton, Lewes, and the Delaware beaches, this home offers the perfect balance of privacy, convenience, and value—especially with low property taxes and the highly desirable Cape Henlopen School District. Schedule your private showing today and discover the rare combination of privacy, location, and long-term value this property offers.
