Nestled on a 1+ acre corner lot, the original house has 3 bedrooms/2 baths, complete with a white picket fence and above ground pool. Dedicated gardens are worthy of sitting with your morning coffee listening to the birds and enjoying the beauty of nature, or winding down your day around the warmth of a fire pit. The largest magnolia in Delaware is a local landmark. This farmhouse, steeped in history, has so many elements worth savoring. Rough-hewn beams, wide plank hardwoods, and original doors can all be refurbished and reimagined, as your innovation takes shape. A screened-in porch connects the detached in-law suite complete with 2 car garage, 2 bedrooms, 2 full baths, central air, washer/dryer, and kitchenette. A second-story porch overlooks the serenity and charm of this property while looking out to the Indian River Bay, just a short walk away. Bay access is via Holts Landing State Park. This move in ready home is situated in a setting of high-end homes, within the Indian River School District, close to Bethany Beach, and the Indian River Bay.

AR-1
Agricultural Residential District
The purpose of these districts is to provide for a full range of agricultural activities and to protect agricultural lands, as one of the county's most valuable natural resources, from the depreciating effect of objectional, hazardous and unsightly uses. They should also protect established agricultural operations and activities. These districts are also intended for protection of watersheds, water resources, forest areas and scenic values and, at the same time, to provide for low-density single-family residential development, together with such churches, recreational facilities and accessory uses as may be necessary or are normally compatible with residential surroundings. The AR regulations seek to prevent untimely scattering of more-dense urban uses, which should be confined to areas planned for efficient extension of public services.
