MOTIVATED SELLER, HOME IS PRICED TO SELL, SELLER IS OFFERING $15,000 CREDIT WITH ACCEPTABLE OFFER! If you’ve been craving a little more space and a lot more peace, this one’s worth a look. Sitting on just over an acre and surrounded by farmland, you get that quiet, tucked-away feel where things slow down a bit and you can actually enjoy where you live. There’s plenty of room outside too, whether it’s letting the dogs run in the partially fenced yard, setting up a fire pit, or just having space between you and the neighbors. Inside you’ve got four bedrooms and three and a half bathrooms. One of the bedrooms is currently set up as a home gym, but it could easily flex into whatever you need, whether it's an office, guest room, hobby space, let your imagination go wild. The main level has two separate living areas and a large dining space right off the kitchen, so it flows naturally whether it’s a normal weeknight or you’ve got people over, plus a fireplace on the main floor that adds a cozy touch during those colder months. Now here’s where it gets fun. The fully finished basement is set up like your own private pub. Picture getting your friends together for a night of billiards, a couple drinks, everyone hanging out around the fireplace next to the pool table, then finishing it off with a movie or the game in your own entertainment space downstairs. There’s even a dedicated office down there if you need a spot to focus without distractions. You’ve also got a two car garage and a 3 zone heating and cooling system, so everyone stays comfortable no matter where they are in the house (not to mention the savings on these high electricity bills). With some exceptions, this property may be eligible for Sussex Tech and Epworth Christian School, and you’re also within close proximity to both the Delmar and Indian River school districts. This home truly makes staying in feel like going out!

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.
