About this House

Fully renovated and thoughtfully improved over the past five years, this home combines extensive upgrades with bright, comfortable living spaces and a large, private yard. Major improvements include a new roof, insulation, electrical wiring, windows, water heater, and appliances.

The second floor was rebuilt from the ground up, with a new stairwell, raised ceilings, new insulation, an office, and a spacious primary bedroom and bath. Hardwood floors run throughout both the first and second floors, and every bedroom features two windows, filling the home with abundant natural light.

A two-car garage with high ceilings connects to the main house through a breezeway that opens into the expanded kitchen, featuring new flooring and a cozy dining nook. Central air conditioning serves the first floor, complemented by energy-efficient mini-split systems in the primary bedroom and breezeway.

Outside, the large yard is framed by mature trees and features a private, shaded patio, an inviting space for relaxing, dining, or entertaining. The home is situated in a friendly neighborhood within an easy walk or bike ride of downtown Milton, with convenient access to the library, restaurants, shops, and theater.

    "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.. "
