What's special
"Better Than New" & Move-In Ready: This home is already complete, upgraded, and ready for quick occupancy—bypassing the long wait times of new construction. Premium Finishes & Upgrades: This home features a two-foot extension on the living room and dining area. The large, owner-designed screen room/screen deck with an invisible screen was added post-purchase. The screens allow the view of the pond, fountain and birds to blend perfectly while you enjoy the superior airflow. The gourmet kitchen has a beautiful and tastefully unique backsplash, primary suite closet organizers by California closets, an epoxy garage floor that adds an attractive look to the garage and with the water treatment system you can have the taste of bottled water at home. The Atmos surround sound system will enhance your listening experience while watching TV or enjoying music. These features make this beautiful Schell Brothers built home stand out compared to base models. This home adjoins a community common area, which means instead of another house right beside you, you get extra open space to enjoy. Imagine sipping your morning coffee with a more peaceful view, having added privacy, and feeling like your yard stretches even farther... without ever having to mow it! Ultimate Location & Tax Benefits: Lightship Cove is ideally situated with a Milton address but just minutes from Downtown Lewes and the beaches. The Lewes-Georgetown Bike Trail is less than 1 mile away! . This trail goes all of the way to Cape Henlopen and connects with the other bike trails in the beach area. The Beach is only 15 minutes by car. Golf at the Rookery and Baywood Greens are both 15 minutes away. There is a new Bayhealth urgent care facility 1 mile from the home. The community has a pool and tot lot for home owners to enjoy. Don't let this one get away.
