As always, we begin with a few exterior photos…

Enjoy the peacefulness and tranquility of Mother Nature from this coastal retreat located just minutes away from southern Delaware’s most popular beach resorts.

Overlooking Red Mill Pond near Lewes, this three bedroom, two bathroom home is at the end of a 100-foot driveway, guaranteeing plenty of privacy and seclusion 

The nearly 2,800-square-foot home features an open floor plan with high ceilings, hardwood flooring and columns that separate the foyer from several adjoining rooms.

Other features include a chef’s kitchen with upgraded cabinetry and butler’s pantry, an owner’s suite with a whirlpool tub, French doors, a gas fireplace and an abundance of natural light throughout.

But it’s the outdoor living area that really makes this home stand out, including a large screened in porch and an even larger deck overlooking the peaceful waters of one of southern Delaware’s largest fresh water ponds.

Enjoy area wildlife that makes the pond their home, including herons, egrets, ducks, geese and turtles, while sipping on your morning cup of coffee on the deck or porch. Or cast your line and reel in a few fish for dinner, or just for fun.
