Estate sale and Rare Find on 2.47 Acres

Welcome to 381 Union Church Rd, Townsend! This home is where peaceful, private living meets space, versatility, and opportunity. Nestled on nearly 2.5 acres with no HOA or deed restrictions, this beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch offers the rare blend of comfort, function, and freedom in the highly desirable Appoquinimink School District.

Built in 1995 and refreshed in 2025, this property features:

All-new luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout

Fresh paint throughout — bright, clean, and move-in ready

Spacious 1,680 sq ft layout with open living areas.

Attached 2-car garage PLUS a powered detached 2-car garage (built in 2000) with lean-to — perfect for car collectors, DIYers, or extra storage.

Large wood-burning stove to keep you cozy through the colder months.

The lot is a true standout — with a mix of open lawn, mature landscaping, and wooded privacy along the back half of the property. Whether you enjoy peaceful outdoor living, gardening, or exploring nature, this land delivers. With iron rod fencing in the backyard, it’s ideal for pets or securing equipment — and the wooded section in the rear may appeal to hunters or outdoor enthusiasts looking for privacy and potential recreational use, right in their own backyard.

With a private well and septic system, and no community restrictions, your use of the property is flexible and yours to define.

This is an inherited estate being sold as-is. While the home has been well cared for, the sellers are unable to complete a Class H inspection or make repairs. However, they are open to reasonable negotiations for material concerns. Inspections are welcome and encouraged, for informational purposes only.

Public records (approx.):

Attached Garage: 576 sq ft

Detached Garage: 648 sq ft (with electric & lean-to)
