Nestled on 3.4 acres of its very own paradise you will find this quintessential, cedar shake shingle cottage in the Kyger Estates community. Enter through one of the matching pillared entrances of the half-circle drive, your arrival is celebrated by manicured landscaping, gardens, and the prefect brick walkway winding to the front door. Entering the expansive all-seasons solarium, wrapped in windows, you get a sense of some of the many benefits this traditional home has to offer. The cedar feature wall is your entrance to the substantial, light-filled great room, adorned with hardwood flooring and architectural details found throughout. Enjoy a cozy evening with family in the living room, in front of the handsome brick fireplace, topped with a traditional mantle, or entertain guests for a celebratory meal in the adjacent dining area. The kitchen is the heart of this home, and the crossroads to all the spaces and places to explore! Prepare family favorites in the country kitchen hosting abundant prep-counter space, stainless steel appliances, two pantries, and access to the screened porch, perfect for an alfresco meal or enjoying an evening watching the sights and sound of nature that abound beyond. There are two generously sized bedrooms, a hall bath, mud room, and laundry with ample storage that complete the lower level. Ascend the staircase to the private upper level, hosting a sizable primary bedroom with cathedral ceiling, a custom-built king-sized bed, custom built-in dressers, and bench window seating. Off the bedroom is the ensuite, a sitting room, and the office with custom built desk and access to the recently built balcony, with sweeping views overlooking the park-like backyard, the pond, mature trees, and the lush vegetation that frames it all. The detached two car garage is the mini-version of the cottage, wrapped in cedar shake shingles, a covered porch entry area, adorned in white trim, freshly painted shutters, and topped off with a water-foul weathervane. Inside the garage the main level has large-scaled work areas, workbench with cabinet storage, and walk-up access to the light-filled upper level, finished with sub-flooring, electrical, lighting and dormer bump-out. The grounds of this secluded retreat offers a pond, a pier, a gardening building, a grilling station, a picnic and play area! This country-like setting is away from the hustle and bustle of the resort areas, but you're still just minutes away from sinking your toes in the sand at one of the beautiful Delaware beaches. Do not wait, come see this beautiful home, before it’s gone and maybe you could make this your very own paradise!
