    Rare opportunity to own approximately 3.2 acres within town limits. This unique offering includes a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bath home situated on a 0.46-acre parcel plus an adjacent 2.74-acre lot, creating a rare combination of historic character, additional acreage, and future potential. The interior of this character-filled home showcases timeless craftsmanship and original charm. Features include beautiful hardwood flooring throughout the home, with hardwood floors also located beneath the upstairs carpeting. Graceful rounded archways, built-ins, fireplaces, wood beam accents, and stunning woodwork highlight the quality and character rarely found in newer homes. The spacious kitchen features beautiful custom wood cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, and a large walk-in pantry, creating a warm and inviting space for everyday living and entertaining. Updated bathrooms feature Lifetime acrylic showers with glass doors, while fresh interior paint and new faux wood blinds throughout provide modern comfort while preserving the home's historic appeal. Premium Andersen windows enhance energy efficiency, durability, and natural light throughout the home. The living room fireplace creates a cozy focal point, while the full basement offers abundant storage and utility space and includes a wood stove fireplace. The basement is protected by a professionally installed DryZone waterproofing system for added peace of mind. Upstairs, the home offers three spacious bedrooms plus a unique loft or nook area with a walk-in closet located off the second bedroom. This flexible space can serve as a reading room, home office, hobby room, play area, dressing room, or additional storage area. The private shared driveway with access to Grace Street provides an additional point of access to the property. Located within town limits, you'll enjoy convenient access to shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, schools, and everyday amenities. Rehoboth Beach is approximately 20 miles away, Bethany Beach is approximately 15 miles away, and Ocean City, Maryland is approximately 25 miles away, placing Delaware and Maryland's coastal destinations within easy reach. The adjacent 2.74-acre parcel offers additional flexibility and future possibilities. Buyers may explore residential subdivision opportunities as well as conditional use applications and potential future Highway Commercial (HC) development opportunities through the Town of Millsboro, subject to all required approvals, zoning regulations, and purchaser due diligence. While preserving its historic charm, the home's exterior provides an opportunity for cosmetic updates to complement the many interior improvements already completed. Seller is offering up to $20,000 in buyer concessions with an acceptable offer, which may be applied toward closing costs and/or future roof replacement. This property offers a unique blend of historic charm, modern improvements, acreage, visibility, and future potential that is rarely available in today's market. Seller welcomes reasonable offers.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What I love most about this home is its character and craftsmanship. From the original hardwood floors and graceful rounded archways to the built-ins, fireplaces, and beautiful woodwork, it has a warmth and charm that is hard to find in newer homes. The custom wood cabinetry, wood beam accents, and unique architectural details give the home a timeless feel. I have also enjoyed being within town limits, with shopping, restaurants, coffee shops, schools, and everyday conveniences nearby. The private shared driveway with access to Grace Street provides an additional access point to the property. Having the adjacent acreage next door has always been a bonus, offering future possibilities and flexibility. Another feature I love is the location. Rehoboth Beach is approximately 20 miles away, Bethany Beach is about 15 miles away, and Ocean City, Maryland is approximately 25 miles away. Even during peak beach season, the beaches are typically within about a 30-minute drive. This property offers the convenience of in-town living while remaining close to Delaware and Maryland's coastal destinations.
