About This Home

As of January 2026

Discover this exceptional opportunity in Seaford’s premier 55+ community- a custom-built contemporary ranch that has been cherished and meticulously maintained by its original owners. With only two occupants since construction, this home has been gently used, beautifully preserved, and maintained at a level rarely found in today’s market. It truly offers the kind of “lightly lived-in” condition most buyers hope for but seldom see. Situated on a desirable corner lot, the property enjoys added space, enhanced natural light, and a more private feel. The rear yard is semi-private, framed by neighboring fencing and mature trees on the property that create a natural buffer and peaceful backdrop—perfect for morning coffee, quiet afternoons outdoors, or simply relaxing in a serene setting. Inside, the inviting open floor plan provides seamless flow between living spaces, ideal for entertaining, everyday comfort, and aging in place. Sunlight fills the home through high-quality Anderson windows, custom remote blinds, enhancing both energy efficiency and the home’s warm, bright atmosphere. At the heart of it all, the spacious kitchen offers a center island with bar seating, crisp white cabinetry, under-cabinet lighting, and abundant counter space—perfect for cooking, gathering, or hosting. Thoughtful details are found at every turn, including lighted closets throughout the home for convenience and organization. The primary suite features a well-planned layout with a walk-in closet, an additional cedar closet for seasonal and delicate storage, and a private bath complete with double sinks and a walk-in tub, blending comfort, safety, and ease.
Efficiency and comfort stand out thanks to the geothermal heating and cooling system, known for exceptional energy savings and quiet operation. The above system was replaced in 2024 and includes three zones, allowing personalized climate control throughout the home. Additional highlights include a large walk-up attic for safe, easy storage, an oversized two-car garage, and a full irrigation system to keep the lawn looking its best with minimal effort. Beautifully built, impeccably cared for, only $150 per year in HOA fees, and offering more space and features than nearby new construction, this is truly a one-of-a-kind opportunity. If you’re seeking a move-in-ready home that reflects years of loving ownership, exceptional quality, and thoughtful design, this standout property is not to be missed.
