Property Description
Welcome to your dream 5 Bedroom, 4.5 Bath, 3 Car Garage, 1 Acre Lakeside Retreat in beautiful Milford, Delaware. This meticulously maintained home combines timeless elegance with extensive modern updates, offering comfort, convenience, and breathtaking views of and access to Griffith Lake! Step inside this spacious residence where every detail reflects thoughtful design and quality craftsmanship. The first floor greets you with a welcoming foyer with custom stone flooring, a convenient half-bath, a cozy comfort room, and a hall closet with custom-built shelving. The adjacent living room showcases a striking wood-burning fireplace with a stone hearth, perfect for gatherings or quiet evenings, and the elegant dining room features intricate millwork and custom wall sconces. The gourmet eat-in-kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting custom cabinetry, elegant quartz countertops, and a convenient 2 tiered center island with breakfast bar. Appliances include a Thermador Professional 6-burner gas range and oven, stainless steel hood vent, built-in microwave drawer, Bosch dishwasher, and a Bosch French-door refrigerator. An adjacent beverage/bar area with sink and ice maker adds a sophisticated touch for entertaining guests. Enjoy your morning coffee or an evening sunset from the serene comfort of the year-round "Serenity Room." Formerly a screened porch, this glass-enclosed room with ductless HVAC provides spectacular lake views and access to the expansive deck. The adjacent den, featuring custom shelving, a window seat, and built-in sound system with Sonos bar and flat-screen TV, complements the home’s entertainment and relaxation spaces. Accessibility and convenience highlight the main-floor bedroom suite including a walk-in bathtub, Murphy bed, and mounted flat-screen TV, ensuring comfort for guests or residents. Ascend to the second floor to discover a luxurious master suite highlighted by stunning lake views, a three-sided gas fireplace, an expansive walk-in closet, built-in shelving and drawers, and an indulgent oversized bathtub in the master bath. Three additional spacious bedrooms provide ample closet space, with one closet thoughtfully equipped with a portable escape ladder for added safety. A versatile recreation room or office, complete with a cedar closet, and a second-floor geothermal HVAC system further enhance the living space and the custom built-in bookcases lining the hallway add charm and functionality. Step outside onto the beautifully maintained grounds designed for leisure and entertaining. The lakeview deck, outfitted with Adirondack chairs, loungers, a gas grill, and a table set, provides a perfect backdrop for relaxation. The rip-rapped shoreline grants easy access to the pristine 32-acre Griffith Lake. Additional outdoor amenities include a Generac whole-house generator, a 500-gallon buried propane tank, and meticulously landscaped gardens. The unfinished walkout basement is both functional and spacious, featuring a pool table, ample shelving, and a workshop area with floor cabinets. The basement also houses the geothermal units, a tankless hot water heater, and an advanced Halo/Remy air filtration system for optimum indoor air quality. Energy efficiency and sustainability are integral to this home, demonstrated by its 64-panel rooftop solar system and eight geothermal wells. Additional thoughtful updates include Andersen energy-efficient windows, recent interior and exterior painting, and extensive renovations to the kitchen, bathrooms, living spaces, and deck areas. The oversized three-car garage provides ample storage with wall shelving and three closets, ensuring everything has its place. Don't miss the chance to experience this exceptional lakeside lifestyle.Property Details
