About This Home

Welcome to 520 Blackbird Station Road, a stunning custom-built home located in Townsend, Delaware.

Offering both privacy and convenience, the property is located within the highly regarded Appoquinimink School District and just a short drive to the towns of Middletown and Smyrna, providing easy access to shopping, dining, and more. Upon entering, you'll be greeted by a grand foyer that leads to the open, light-filled living spaces. To the left, you’ll find a second owner's suite with two walk-in closets and an en-suite bathroom with a large two-seat stand-up shower, along with access to the stunning 1,600 sq. ft. wraparound porch, a truly breathtaking feature of the home. This maintenance-free, ADA-compliant porch is perfect for enjoying the outdoors and offers plenty of space for relaxation and entertaining. The main level offers a spacious open floor plan with a large formal dining room, an updated kitchen, and a bright living room with expansive windows and a cozy fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with brand new smart stainless steel appliances, a BRAND NEW 6ft x 39 in x 1.5 in ACACIA BUTCHER BLOCK COUNTER sitting on a BRAND NEW 6 ft x 25 in x 36 in ISLAND, 42" cabinetry, and Pergo flooring making it a perfect space for both cooking and entertaining.
