Nestled in the woods of Clayton Delaware is this 1.5 acre parcel with a cozy 4 bed 2 bath home, over sized 2 car garage, swimming pool, and a full basement that’s partially finished. Entering the property via the half circle blacktop drive allows for access to the garage or an easy exit for a quick stop. Entering the front door puts you in the living room. The main floor is mostly laminate wood floating floor (Allen & Roth). The large front window along with the siding is only a year old! This country home includes an eat in kitchen with custom pine cabinets. The kitchen includes all appliances and simulated stone countertops. There a composite tile floating floor and access to the rear deck via the sliding glass doors. The guest bath has original pinewood walls with a stall shower. All bedrooms have ceiling fans and closets are abundant!
The master bedroom includes a leaf paddle ceiling fan, his and hers closets and has a Jack and Jill bath with ceramic tile floors, a large vanity, linen closet and a very nice shower insert that simulates stone. The shower walls reach all the way to the ceiling and this bath has recessed lighting. The hallway to the main bedrooms has an attic access door for additional storage.
The full basement is partially finished and includes a wood burning stove with a beautiful mantle which attaches to the real masonry chimney. Floors down here are painted and the wall and trim are a composite material which is moisture resistant. The current owners had a French drain installed in 2017. There is a closet on this side of the basement which holds the newer water heater, well tank, sump pump with battery back up, and electric panel. The unfinished side is a perfect man cave and could be a workshop/ hobby area of many types. There is also a ton of storage space along with the Bilco door, laundry (washer and dryer included), an extra freezer and fridge are also included. This area also provides access to the HVAC system.
The oversized (40x30) two car garage (Delmarva Pole Building) has plenty of storage and space for your vehicles as well as projects. The top edge of this building has clear panels to allow natural light during the day.
Out back we have a pool with all the goodies including ladder, handrails and diving board. Pool can be opened and inspected but must be re-winterized at end of inspection at buyers/lookers expense. The pool is 3 to 8 foot deep and had a new liner and pump installed in October of 2021. The pool is fenced in separately from the rest of the fenced in area. The back of the home has an attached deck (20x12) and includes a fenced in portion so its pet ready! There is plenty of free firewood close by, so the owners have set up a lean to for wood storage. There is also an old shed that looks its age but doesn’t leak and it is used to house the mowers and other maintenance equipment to care for this great property.
If you want to live away from everything but be close to everything at the same time then your search is over. Your new home is surrounded by woods and minutes to Smyrna, Dover, or Middletown!
