Description

NESTLED IN THE HEART OF MILTON lies a treasure that artfully bridges the gap between past and present. This historic home, constructed in 1840, underwent a thoughtful renovation in 2015, transforming it into a sanctuary where old-world allure meets modern-day convenience. The renovation process was carried out with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that the home's rich history was preserved while upgrading it today's living standards. The first level radiates a welcoming atmosphere with its original moldings and hardwood floors in the main living areas, seamlessly complementing the acacia wood flooring in the the bedroom & laundry room bump-outs. The updated kitchen offers high-quality stainless steel appliances, gleaming countertops, and ample storage space are juxtaposed with charming rustic accents, creating an environment that is both stylish and practical. The upper floor hosts additional bedrooms, each a cozy retreat that promises privacy and tranquility. Generous storage options abound with the basement and attic, alongside a vast backyard, detached garage, and dry shed. This magnificent home offers a unique blend of tranquility, convenience, and historical charm, making it a must-have find in desirable Historic Milton; a stone's throw away from the vibrant downtown area.

    "I have lived in this neighborhood for eleven years. It's a quiet well maintained street with plenty of on and off street parking, as well as public transportation and friendly neighbors. There are several Elementary, Middle and High Schools in the area. Milton is nearby to many towns/cities that offer fun-filled entertainment for the entire family! This a wonderful place to raise a family, or start out on your own. Very close to Beaches and Resort Areas."

    "A few miles to the beach so it is quiet. Close enough to enjoy the beach, nightlife and shopping but far enough away so that it is quiet at night"

    "Great place to retire or as a weekend retreat. Prime Hook offers very safe, clean beaches for kids and dogs. Miles of beaches to walk, exploring for wildlife and shells. Excellent place to sail and kayak. Sand bars offer fun for kids. Community backs up to Prime Hook Wildlife refuge teaming with wildlife with nesting ospreys, eagles and other waterfowl. Quiet and peaceful and a perfect all year round destination. It is one of the closest Delaware Bay beaches to Philly, DC, MD and VA.. "
