Description

Rarely available pond view "condo home" in the picket fence section of popular Paynter's Mill where the Lewes and Milton zip codes meet ... just 6 miles from the bay and 9 from the ocean! This home is spacious (over 2500 sq. ft.), yet extremely homey and well laid out with updates you'll love - especially the extra large 3 season sunroom facing those gorgeous sunsets! There are 4 bedrooms (including a private suite on each level), 3.5 baths, 2 living rooms (one on each level),5 mounted TV's , ceiling fans in every bedroom, 9' ceilings, updated doors and hardware throughout, arched doorways and more waiting for you! It's a more traditional floorplan with terrific use of space throughout! The wrap-around front porch is where you can enjoy fantastic views of the sunrises....or chat with passing neighbors.....and steps into a welcoming vestibule/enclosed foyer for convenient greeting of guests! Entering further, via the glass French doors, you'll see a center hallway ahead (leading to the spacious living room...more later) with craftsman-style staircase to your right (with 3 large windows at the top - see the photo of the upper level sitting room). There is also a spacious powder room here near the foyer....and then the living spaces: a generous sized dining room to the left with window shutters and trim, hardwood floors, and plenty of space for your needs which then opens into the kitchen which then opens to the living room and breakfast area (AKA 'extended living room') at the other end; making it perfect for entertaining! Appointed with quartz countertops and breakfast bar, ample counterspace, slide-out organizers, and coordinating white appliances including Bosch, GE and LG. The breakfast bar provides the perfect transition between the kitchen and living space where you'll find enough space to create a breakfast area if you'd prefer that over the current use (extended living room). Enjoy the gas fireplace which is flanked with extra windows when it's chilly; but when it's nice out, you're sure to find yourself in the enormous 3-season sunroom most of the time if not at the beach! Note that the photo in the listing is a panoramic one (hence the bended look) so that you can see the whole thing! Notice the crepe myrtles behind the sunroom -- they'll be blooming before you know it! Look toward the pond and you'll be able to enjoy gorgeous sunsets! If the sun is too much, don't worry as the window shades are remote controlled! There are 2 ceiling fans, a wall-mounted TV and access to the small grilling deck and the primary suite from here! The primary suite has a vaulted ceiling, window shutters, a ceiling fan, brand new carpeting, multiple closets and a private bath (with tub and glass shower). A first floor laundry is discretely situated out of sight at the entrance to the attached garage, where you'll find a bike storage pulley system and extensive storage shelving. Then upstairs you'll find 3 terrific bedrooms (one with a private full bath), a casual modest-sized sitting area and another full bath. Each bedroom is carpeted, has window blinds (2 have views of the pond/sunsets), a roomy closet and ceiling fan. Note that the walk-in attic with storage shelves is accessible via the smallest bedroom's closet...as it's located above the garage...but no pull-down ladder is required as you can enter it from the comfort of your home's interior! The Paynter's Mill (not a land rent...and not a 55+ community) community offers an amazing amount of social activities plus great amenities including 5 ponds, restaurants and services in the plaza at the entrance (independent of the community), a clubhouse, pool, baby pool, playground, multiple sports courts, pickleball, tennis, nature trail! All is included in the HOA fees plus your trash, exterior insurance and lots of exterior maintenance! Welcome home! (seller requests 30 day contingency to find next home)

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
