This house could be just right as your vacation home since it is less than 10 miles to the Lewes public beach. But it is spacious enough for your year-round living! Large living room with vaulted ceiling & gas wood stove-style fireplace. Living room adjoins the dining area. The spacious kitchen has lots of cabinet & countertop space, along with two sinks, a garbage disposal, dishwasher & fridge with ice maker. There is also a granite-topped breakfast bar island. Luxury vinyl plank flooring in the main living area, carpet in the bedrooms & tile floors in the baths. Four bedrooms & two full baths. The main bedroom has a passageway door into bedroom #2, which could be convenient for a nursery, home office or just another bedroom. Two full baths - one features a tiled shower stall with a rain-head showerhead - the second bath has a tub/shower & a double-sink vanity. Big laundry room with a full-size, side-by-side washer & dryer set. Sliding glass door from the kitchen leads out to an expansive covered deck, which overlooks the fully-fenced backyard. You'll find abundance of gardens for flowers and veggies on this 0.47-acre parcel. Outdoor shower. New roof in 2016. HVAC new in 2020. Electric rewired in 2020. Water conditioning system, including a sophisticated UV-light component. No HOA fees or rules, and low utilities because the house has its own private well, a modern septic system, and a new energy-efficient heat/AC system. Although this is a Class C home, it will not qualify for a conventional 30-year loan because of its age (older than 1976). Alternate financing with a local lender will be needed if you're not paying cash (ask for lender recommendations). Loan Pre-Approval Letter or Proof of Funds for cash Buyers required with any Offer.
