Nestled in the countryside with a wooded backyard backdrop, this rancher with a hip roof sits on a spacious lot. The home features three bedrooms, one bath, and a galley-style kitchen with wood cabinets. Enjoy the nicely sized living room with hardwood floors and a sunroom that adds extra square footage. The full basement offers additional potential. Located in the Milford School District and close to the towns of Milford and Greenwood, this property provides convenient access to shopping, Bayhealth Hospital, and the Delaware Bay and Ocean resort areas. The estate sale is being sold as-is, with on-site well and septic. With only county taxes and motivated sellers, this home has great potential for those willing to provide some TLC.

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.
