About This Home
Welcome to Risby Cottage – a delightful blend of elegant beach living and zero exterior maintenance! This home was thoughtfully designed and feels brand new! Offering luxurious single-level living in Sussex County, the numerous upgrades include a gourmet kitchen with double ovens and a gas cooktop, beautiful wood flooring, bump-outs for additional square footage, a large screened porch, and a recently installed hardscape patio. Upon entering the home, guests are greeted by a spacious hallway with 2 bedrooms and a bath immediately to the right. The great room is bright and inviting, featuring vaulted ceilings and a generous, open living space floor plan – perfect for entertaining guests or curling up with a good book. Speaking of entertaining, the kitchen island is a great space to congregate for parties or nightly dinner. Adjacent to the kitchen is a spacious laundry room with additional cabinetry for storage and an entrance to the garage. When it’s time to relax at the end of the day, retire to the primary suite, situated in the rear of the home, providing maximum privacy and a quiet retreat to unwind in. The spacious bathroom features an oversized vanity with dual sinks, a tile shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Risby Cottage is situated on a corner lot and backs to the community buffer area, affording additional privacy. A recently completed paver patio and shade structure create the perfect outdoor setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the great outdoors. Owned solar panels keep monthly expenses down as well, with the electric bill averaging around $25/month.
Truitt Homestead is a small community of homes located just 2 lights away from all that Rehoboth has to offer. Tucked away and serene, you can still be downtown in 5 minutes by car or bike! All exterior maintenance is managed by the HOA, making this the perfect low-maintenance living option that allows for more time on the beach with friends. While membership at the Lodge at Truitt Homestead is not required, the community does offer sophisticated coastal living with access to a private clubhouse, on-site dining, pub and lounge, fitness center, game room, and indoor and outdoor pools. With luxurious homes, a tight-knit community, and many walking paths, this welcoming neighborhood is the laid-back, coastal vibe you’ve been looking for! Your life at the beach awaits – schedule your tour today!
