Welcome to 5871 Summit Bridge Road, Townsend, Delaware, where meticulous care meets stunning design in this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath raised ranch. Set on a perfectly manicured 1-acre lot, this home boasts professional landscaping with garden beds, a tree-lined driveway, and engineered swales and ditches. The property features an oversized concrete parking lot, two sheds with underground electricity nearby, and a pole barn ideal for car lifts, tools, and toys. Enjoy multiple patios, including one with a hot tub and another with a covered area and porch swing.
Inside, you'll find immaculate hardwood floors, luxury carpets, and a beautifully updated kitchen, dining room, and sunroom that fill the space with natural light.

The sunroom and den have nearly new mini-split units, complementing the newer central HVAC system for year-round comfort. The upper level has three spacious bedrooms with double closets, including a master with an updated en suite bathroom. The one-car attached garage, currently a salon, is perfect for a workshop or additional storage.
This property also includes an additional 8.57-acre parcel (Tax ID#: 14-012.00-194), located at 5869.5 Summit Bridge Road. Zoned SR - Suburban Reserve, offering versatile potential for agricultural, residential, and various other uses.

The property boasts a stream at the far edge, providing a tranquil babbling brook, and is surrounded by rural, cozy charm. The land behind the parcel, owned by Saint Andrews, has no plans for development, providing continued privacy and quiet enjoyment.
