This house sat at the corner of Rte 16 and Union St in the town of Milton for over 75 years before it was moved to its present location near Broadkill Beach in 1991. At that time the house was gutted to the studs and renovated with all new wiring, new plumbing, new HVAC, insulation and drywall, but retained its original hardwood flooring and turn of the century character. Situated on over an acre of land, this cozy home has been a summer retreat to the same family for over 25 years. It would make a great home for someone who appreciates the classic farmhouse design and wants the feel of a country living without being miles from civilization. Downtown Milton is only minutes away, Broadkill Beach is less than four miles down the road and you can walk to the Rookery for golfing or dining. If you are looking for a unique home with room to expand, don't miss out on this one!

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: Rte 1 North to right on to 16 East towards Broadkill. House is on right shortly after the Rookery. House shares a driveway with Aydelotte Builders. Take second entrance between the two mailboxes and then path through woods to house.
