Description

You've probably been waiting for a while to find a single family, detached home in Plantations East. Your wait is over. This beautiful 3 bedroom, 2 bath home in a gated and lake community has been meticulously maintained and is in move-in ready condition. The hickory hardwood is the real deal and really adds to the warmth of this home. The large kitchen has ample cabinetry and counter space with Corian counters, a kitchen island, newer stainless full appliance package, double sinks, and pantry. The master bedroom has a full en-suite bath with cedar walk-in closet and second closet, and is a split floorplan design for your privacy when you have overnight guests. The guest rooms are generously sized for comfort and the entry den is a great office or extra gathering space for all your holidays. The living room is very large and is an open concept designed for entertaining without feeling left out if you're the cook. There is a lovely deck out back with pergola and a paver patio (and walkway to the side garden) for outdoor entertainment. The laundry room has a full size front load washer and dryer, there are ceiling fans for those between seasons, a newer air conditioner, an architectural shingled roof, security system, blue-tooth control heat, air, and lighting control, floored attic with pull-down stairs for extra storage, a water softener with reverse osmosis filtration system, an irrigation system, mature landscaping, a gas hot water heater and 2-car garage with interior access. There is a rear yard fence and you are allowed to launch a boat (not exceeding 15') in the community lake. Not enough? How about ridiculously low taxes at $1056 a year (yes, a year, not a typo and that includes school taxes.) If you're coming from other Mid-Atlantic or New England states where you might be paying 10 times that amount, imagine what you could do with the tax savings alone; new car, vacation to some exotic place (now you'd be able to afford them with ease.) There are NO city taxes, super low HOA (about $700 a year, paid in quarterly payments,) and NO land lease. Still not enough? How about the fact with an optional membership you can enjoy tennis, clubhouse, fitness center, and community pool for those lazy days when you don't feel like driving 10 minutes to the beach. And you really can't beat the location for this price! This beautiful home is located within a 10 minute drive to downtown Lewes, 12 minutes to Rehoboth Beach, both pristine 5-star beaches in the most quintessentially historic Delaware towns. Shopping, including outlet shopping, dining at the area's top rated restaurants, quality medical facilities, theater, museums, whale watching, lovely boardwalk, the Cape May Lewes Ferry and more. This may very well be the opportunity you've been waiting for and could be the most savvy home purchase you could ever make. (The consumer is advised some rooms depicted are virtually staged for visual presentation.)
