Welcome to refined coastal living in this beautifully maintained, newer construction home, ideally situated on a quiet cul-de-sac in the sought-after Spring Haven community—just minutes from the charm of Milton, the beaches and dining of Lewes, and convenient access to Route 1. Built by Insight Homes just over eight years ago, this thoughtfully designed residence blends the benefits of modern construction with the serenity of a spacious 0.80-acre homesite backing to mature woods and preserved land near the Sussex County Land Trust and Stephen P. Hudson Park. Impeccably maintained by its original owners, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms on the main level, including a spacious primary suite designed for everyday comfort. The open floor plan is anchored by a welcoming family room and breakfast area just off the kitchen, while a formal dining room provides an elegant space for gatherings. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with a composite deck and Sunsetter awning overlooking the peaceful wooded backdrop—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Upstairs, a versatile loft offers additional living space complete with a home theater area, full bathroom, and two finished bonus rooms—providing the flexibility of a 5-bedroom layout for guests, home office, fitness, or hobbies (3-bedroom septic approval). Additional highlights include a three-car garage and a whole-house generator for added peace of mind. Blending modern design, generous living space, and a private natural setting just minutes from Delaware’s coastal attractions, this exceptional property also includes a completed pre-listing inspection, available upon request—offering buyers added clarity and confidence. This is a rare opportunity to enjoy the best of beach-area living in a peaceful, scenic setting—schedule your tour today.

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.
Directions: Route 1 to Route 9 West. Go 4-5 miles, then turn left onto Fisher Rd. Turn Right on Spring Haven - travel to end of road, home is on a cul-de-sac.
