The Crown Jewel of Paynter’s Mill – Rare Premium Corner Lot with First-Floor Living. Experience the "pride of ownership" in this pristine, original-owner residence. Perfectly situated on a premium corner-perimeter lot, this home offers a rare sense of seclusion, backing directly to a lush common area with no rear neighbors. From the moment you arrive onto the inviting front porch, you’ll realize this isn’t just a house—it’s a sanctuary. The interior shines with a level of care and preparation that is hard to find, including a newer HVAC system (2025) for total peace of mind. Designed for effortless first floor living, the main level features your primary suite, a dedicated home office (or 4th bedroom), formal dining room, powder room, and a main-level laundry room. You also have an upstairs oasis for guests with two generous guest bedrooms, a full bath, a spacious second family room, and a dedicated storage room. Transition seamlessly to your private outdoor retreat: an expansive paver patio designed for hosting, framed by professional landscaping. The detached 2-car garage adds both convenience and an extra layer of privacy to your backyard. Don't forget The Paynter’s Mill Advantage where you enjoy the "Lewes lifestyle" with a Milton address! Located just 3.5 miles to Five Points and less than 6 miles from both downtown Milton and downtown Lewes. Paynter’s Mill offers plenty of amenities including a pool, pickleball courts, clubhouse, gym, and scenic walking trails. Located in the front of the community is Abbott's Gril, The Nook and Titanic Pizza. You may also benefit from a proposed shopping center nearby for ultimate convenience. This home has been loved from day one—come see why it should be yours next.
