Description
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. 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!

6/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageAs a student at this school who has always followed the rules. This school is horrendous. Dr. K had this school running so well but Principal Williams could care less about us students and as he says in every assembly he has with us “our reputation..” it’s all he cares about is the school’s reputation. With the amount of threats our school gets and emergency’s that happen individually with students have a full no cell phone policy is unsafe. I understand the need to focus us on our studies however this is not the way to do it by putting us in danger. We shouldn’t have to individually get little notes or passes on our IEP’s that say we can use our phones as certain times. Bring back the traffic light for the phones where the teacher decided. Not only that, don’t get me started on smart pass. We are only allowed 5 passes a day and 5 minutes to go to the bathroom. 5 minutes is beyond unreasonable especially for the us girls on our periods. A specific amount of minutes we can use too?? Absolutely insane. This school has become a prison. I’m surprised we don’t have escorts to the bathroom or other places either. They should focus more on the broken walls, sinks, ceilings, doors, mirrors, etc. They should also focus more on the roaches and mice. This is a nice school from the outside and on social media but social media only shows you what you want to see. Highly don’t recommend. Had this not been my senior year I would’ve switched out of this school and gone to lake forest. Good luck to my underclassmen and parents don’t send your kids here. I’ve been interrogated numerous times this year already (it’s only been 2 weeks) because I spent longer than 5 minutes in the bathroom and some of the bathrooms get locked or take a minute to get to. This school has become such a prison since Principal Williams came.Student Review10mo ago - Star Hill Elementary School

NAGreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe school curriculum is decent, but the staff is very unorganized. They even let me check my son out early without checking my ID, which I am not okay with. Parent pickup is beyond awful every day, as there is no order. I fear that a child is going to get hurt or kidnapped because no one seems to be watching them at all!Parent Review12y ago - Postlethwait (F. Niel) Middle School
