Enjoy life at this elegant historic home with a short commute to Wilmington, Newark and Dover. Exceptional homes like this do not come on the market often. Formerly the lighthouse keeper's residence, this two-story home offers original chestnut millwork throughout and sits on over two acres of pastoral splendor. The spacious interior offers 3 fireplaces with ornate mantels and sponged tiles, 9.5 foot ceilings, built-in pantry in the kitchen and glass-front china cabinet in the dining room, a newly updated bathroom and stunning original fir floors. Enjoy quiet summer nights on your wrap-around porch and tend to the garden of your dreams in your backyard. In addition to a large 2-car detached garage, there is a 1000 square foot outbuilding that can be used for a workshop, studio or almost anything else you can dream. Wouldn't you love to have the pride of owning a home that's on the National Registry of Historic Places, and take advantage of the 30% renovation tax credit that comes with the designation? Best of all - directions for your friends and family couldn't be easier - just look for the tallest lighthouse in Delaware! Please note that the lighthouse itself is owned and maintained separately from this property.
