The primary suite includes an expanded footprint, tray ceiling, dual walk-in closets, and an ensuite bath with double vanities, ceramic tile flooring, a walk-in shower, and private water closet. Two additional bedrooms and a full bath are located on the main level, while upstairs offers a flexible loft area , additional bedroom, and full bath, providing exceptional flexibility for guests, hobbies, or additional living space. Outdoor living is equally impressive with a large fenced backyard backing to trees, an expansive concrete patio, an agricultural well for cost-effective landscape irrigation, and a full walkout basement with plumbing rough-in and endless possibilities for future expansion. Located in Liberty East, residents enjoy a clubhouse with pool, fitness center, game room, and a calendar full of community activities. The neighborhood is known for its attractive custom homes, large homesites, and charming streetscapes, all just minutes from downtown Millsboro, shopping, dining, parks, Delaware beaches, and the Cape May-Lewes Ferry. This home presents in remarkable, like-new condition, having been used only as a second home and never as a full-time residence. Offering timeless architectural character, thoughtful upgrades, flexible living spaces, potential expansion and exceptional care throughout, this is a property you will not want to miss.
