A property with this much history, character, and opportunity does not come along often. Situated on over 3 acres in Millsboro, this home has been part of the community for generations and is ready for its next chapter. The sellers share that the home was once owned by a former Mayor of Millsboro, and even the basement has a story—reportedly excavated using donkeys when the home was built. Inside, another piece of its history remains: the piano has been with the house since 1946, and in keeping with tradition, the sellers plan to leave it for the next owners.
The home offers 3 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, plus an additional flex space located off one of the bedrooms that is currently used as another sleeping area. Gorgeous hardwood flooring runs throughout much of the home, with additional hardwood beneath the upstairs carpeting. The spacious kitchen features quartz countertops, a built-in double wall oven, newer refrigerator and dishwasher, while a large laundry room provides plenty of additional space and storage. The upstairs bathroom has also been renovated and the hardwood floors refinished.
Several major improvements have already been completed, including Andersen replacement windows with a transferable lifetime warranty and a professionally waterproofed basement by DryZone, also with a lifetime warranty. Outside, the property includes a shed, gazebo, and plenty of room to take advantage of the acreage.
What truly sets this property apart is the potential. Keep the home and enjoy the entire property, explore opportunities for the additional land, or combine residential living with a business use where permitted. With over 3 acres along Dupont Highway, there are multiple ways for the next owner to make this property work for their goals. Historic charm, valuable improvements, usable acreage, and incredible flexibility all come together in one unique Millsboro property.
