Description

Welcome to your private oasis in the peaceful community of Broadkill Beach. This private retreat is fully fenced and offers scenic sunsets. Take a 2 block walk to Broadkill Beach on the Delaware Bay. Adjoining the lovely marsh of Prime Hook Wildlife Refuge, the raised ranch sits on a large Double lot with tall shade trees, and many flowering shrubs, plants and vines. A variety of outdoor living spaces include the screened porch, shaded decks, and a sunny deck overlooking a sea of Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge, marsh grass and wildlife. The large sunny deck offers a Sunsetter awning available as desired with the press of a button. You will find a paved back patio with room for a fire pit, a covered wooden deck overlooking your own garden pond (with or without fish), backed by an arched cedar lattice screen and a series of raised wooden decks, walkways and stone paths around the yard, an outside shower and stairways to raised landscaped areas. This two-story home has many master furniture-maker touches including some built-in furniture.
The two levels are joined by a handcrafted cherry and ash stairway. The custom made oak storm door at the front entry leads into the entry hall with cherry and ash art niche and a wood slab foyer table. Upstairs the large living/dining room area boasts a built in cherry and ash storage unit with tambour doors. A circular revolving TV cabinet holds a small TV with a display area above and storage beneath. The brick fireplace in the living room has a propane gas insert and is surrounded by oak bookcases and mantle. The kitchen pleases with hickory Shaker style cabinets that even hold a recycling center, and of course has beautiful quartz countertops and sink. There is a full bath on each level, one with step-in safety shower, and built-in oak storage/linen cabinet. Upstairs are two bedrooms with the primary showing off a maple custom king-size headboard flanked with tall storage cabinets.

An extra room tucked away next to the living room is currently used as an office, and a large laundry room is off the hall with plenty of shelving, washer, dryer and Tankless water heater. There is an attic with pull down stairs. Two rooms on lower level ( a bedroom/movie room and a family room ) off the entry hall have ceramic tile flooring.
