About this home

Welcome to 28189 Gravel Hill Rd, a charming Colonial home situated on a generous tree lined lot just north of Millsboro, offering direct, panoramic views of Millsboro Pond. With 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a flexible layout, this home combines comfortable living with a convenient location and plenty of room to make it your own. The main level features two living areas, including a welcoming front living room with a bay window overlooking the pond and a cozy brick wood-burning fireplace. The spacious, open kitchen offers abundant cabinetry, generous counter space, and a large center island, while the incredible laundry/pantry area provides exceptional storage and functionality. A convenient hobby room, mudroom and 3-season porch add even more versatility, and a side-entry 2-car garage allows for parking and/or additional storage. The owner’s suite is a relaxing retreat, featuring a built-in electric fireplace, en-suite bath, and walk-in closet. Three additional spacious bedrooms provide room for family, guests, or a home office. Recent home improvements you may not see, but will certainly appreciate, include a new roof (2018), both hvac systems (2021/2025), and water heater (2020). Outside, the large rear yard offers privacy and a blank canvas for gardening, entertaining, recreation, or future possibilities. Enjoy the beauty of Millsboro Pond year-round—and once a year, this location provides an incredible vantage point for watching the 4th of July fireworks over the water. For outdoor enthusiasts, public access to Millsboro Pond is approximately 1/10 mile away, making it easy to launch a fishing boat or kayaks. Located just outside the Millsboro town limits, the property offers the convenience of nearby shopping, dining, and services, while benefiting from low county taxes and no HOA. The new bypass has also reduced traffic in the area and improved access to surrounding communities. With beautiful water views, generous living spaces, endless outdoor possibilities, no HOA, and an enviable location, 28189 Gravel Hill Rd is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy the best of the Millsboro area.

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.

Permitted uses

Include but are not limited to:

Greenhouse / nursery
Religious facility
Housing-Single unit
Golf related
Recreation-Other
Veterinary clinic
Agriculture
Park & open space
