About this House

If you are looking for an impressive custom-built home in Kent County, this property feels like a private oasis! With more than 4,000 square feet of living space, plus additional finished living space in the basement, this home offers 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, along with thoughtful and abundant storage throughout. The exterior is equally grand, featuring stone and low-maintenance vinyl shake siding, an architectural roof, a Gunite pool with extensive hardscaping, plus a covered space for dining and entertaining. This beautiful parcel is 3/4 acre on a quiet cul-de-sac, with a wooded backyard that leads to Moores Lake—bring your water toys! Don’t let the exterior of this home fool you; the façade may look compact, but when you step inside, you will be absolutely wowed by the 10’ ceilings, open-concept layout, hand-scraped engineered hardwood floors, and beautiful custom details. The foyer is flanked by a large formal dining room, a spacious office, and a full bath. Continue into the center of the home, where you will find a welcoming gourmet kitchen and living space with a gas fireplace. The owners thought of everything when building this home—from the custom bar and built-in entertainment center to the surround sound and intercom systems—no expense, upgrade, or detail was missed! The primary bedroom is a massive main-level suite with two large walk-in closets, a spacious bathroom featuring a soaking tub, an extraordinary walk-in shower, and a double vanity. With views of the pool and woods, this room feels like a peaceful retreat! Also on the main level are the laundry room, a commodious pantry, and access to the oversized 2.5-car garage. Upstairs, you will find a convenient built-in desk on the landing. This level includes 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. The closets in these bedrooms are incredible—each is very large and walk-in, and one even features a bonus room that offers additional storage or could be finished into extra living space. The first and second levels of this home are simply stunning, with surprising storage at every turn—but the basement is the real showstopper! The finished portion includes a giant hangout or game room, a separate craft room, and a fully outfitted home gym. The unfinished section further extends your storage options; with high ceilings and walkout stairs, it offers incredible flexibility for storage or future finishing. But wait—we haven’t even stepped outside yet! The backyard is a standout feature that will bring endless enjoyment and entertainment. Whether you want to host a pool party or walk through the woods to the lake for a paddle in your kayak, you will find countless ways to love this property. For larger boats, Moores Lake Boat Ramp is nearby. Meticulous updates and improvements have been made over the years, adding even more value to this home, including owned solar panels, newer HVAC, a water treatment system, professional landscaping, and raised vegetable garden beds. Fairfield Farms is conveniently located near Dover Air Force Base, hospitals, restaurants, shopping, Routes 1 & 13, and the Delaware beaches. This home is impeccable and ready for its new owner!
