Description
Introducing 140 Delaware Avenue, Laurel, Delaware — A Diamond in the Rough with Timeless Victorian Charm with a Waterfront Location Nestled in the historic town of Laurel and set along the tranquil coastline of Records Pond, this stately Victorian residence offers a rare blend of charm, history, and opportunity. Its exact age may be unknown, but its character is undeniable, standing proudly on a generously sized, over half-acre, waterfront lot framed by mature trees and lush, overgrown foliage. The property is being sold as-is, but for the right buyer, it's a diamond in the rough, ready to be lovingly restored to its former grandeur or thoughtfully transformed into something new. While the dense tree line currently obscures much of the pond view from the ground level, the second floor offers glimpses of the water through the branches, and with thoughtful landscaping and clearing, the property holds the opportunity to unveil stunning, year-round waterfront vistas. The combination of natural beauty and architectural potential opens the door to endless possibilities. Inside, time seems to stand still. Period antiques and vintage furnishings remain throughout, creating a tapestry of the past that adds depth and authenticity to every room. The traditional floor plan begins in the welcoming foyer, where hardwood floors, detailed millwork, and unique lighting fixtures offer a preview of the home’s enduring craftsmanship. The main level features a formal living room, an elegant dining room, and a cozy family room anchored by a fireplace, each space inviting you to imagine the stories once shared here. The eat-in kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, a built-in breakfront with glass display, and a hidden walk-in pantry tucked behind wooden bifold doors, reminiscent of a butler’s pantry, perfect for entertaining. A powder room and rear porch complete the first level. Upstairs, you'll find four uniquely appointed bedrooms, one with its own sitting area, all showcasing the warmth of original hardwood floors. A centrally located full bath serves this level. Additional storage can be found in the cellar and the walk-up attic, while outside, a one-car detached garage adds convenience. Located just a short stroll from the heart of town, with its local shops, charming eateries, and scenic parks, this home combines a lifestyle of small-town charm with the unique advantage of Records Pond waterfrontage. Whether restoring its vintage beauty or reimagining it altogether, 140 Delaware Avenue offers the chance to create something truly special, both inside and out.

3/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI was raised to beleive that Sussex Tech was the only route for me; Laurel High School was for degenerates and those who do not value their education. Unfortunately, Tech required nothing less than a B average at the time, and I was no shining student in middle school. I had not been raised in an encouraging enviroment, so I felt that my grades- truly- were that best that I could do. The staff at Laurel Senior Highschool helped my realize that I did have potential! I did not become an A student overnight, but I certainly felt pride, when I started engaging the workload. I am so very thankful for that they did for me. This girl, an AP student?
