Welcome to 12223 N. Old State, situated on a cleared one-acre lot just north of Ellendale. Conveniently close to Route 113 and a short drive from the historic Milton and bay beaches. Greeted by a covered front porch with TREX decking, this diamond in the rough invites you to discover its charm. The home boasts an open layout in the main living area, seamlessly combining the living, dining, and kitchen spaces. The sleeping quarters feature a primary bedroom with ensuite, an additional guest bedroom with private ensuite access to the hall bath, and a strategically placed laundry center near both bedrooms.
