315 Mill Street

Description

Welcome to 315 Mill Street, listed in the National Register of Historic Places! This beautiful two-story 1876 Victorian is nestled on an exquisite lot with a canopy of mature trees and professionally designed landscaping. The backyard is home to a charming rustic barn surrounded by gorgeous hydrangea and magnolias, pretty crape myrtles, delicate ferns, and majestic oaks creating a private and serene oasis. The former summer kitchen has been repositioned and converted into a fabulous Artisan+GGs studio complete with wood walls and a vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, built-in cabinets, two windows, a skylight and cool feature lighting. Walk through the iron gate to a moss bordered slate patio and step up to a generously sized deck with retractable awning, the perfect spot to entertain family and friends for summer gatherings! The great room unfolds through transom French doors framed by built-ins where you can display your treasured books and artwork, showcasing 10-foot ceilings, terracotta tile flooring, recessed lighting and a wood burning stove. You will find hardwood floors in the study and formal living and dining rooms. Enjoy an eat-in kitchen warmed by wood countertops, display cabinetry, a peninsula island and a pantry off the laundry room. Take one of two staircases to the upper-level primary bedroom complete with a spacious ensuite bath with dual sink vanity, tub shower and storage closet. Two additional bedrooms and full bath complete the second floor sleeping quarters. You will appreciate the architectural details of this property from a front porch with turned wood posts, decorative swan brackets and turned balusters. Before departing take a moment to view the framed vintage house rendering and abalone shell collection that were found on the property and once part of Milton+GGs robust button making industry from days gone by. Living in the picturesque town of Milton has so many advantages, quaint shops, restaurants, and a popular brew pub. Recreation opportunities abound with the Broadkill River and Wagamon+GGs Pond. Public boat docks and fishing piers are close by, and it is an easy drive to the coastal resorts of Lewes and Rehoboth beach. Whether a forever home, or a weekend retreat, 315 Mill Street is a must see. Schedule your private tour to experience all this beautiful home and community has to offer!
