About This Home

Nestled in the scenic neighborhood of The Hollys, this newly built custom home blends spacious living, timeless character, and modern comfort. Ideally located just outside Milford, the property offers convenient access to nearby hospitals, schools, local conveniences, and the vibrant downtown district, filled with charming shops, inviting restaurants, and just a short drive to miles of Delaware’s beautiful coastline. Offering both serenity and sophistication, this residence presents a rare opportunity to enjoy refined living in a peaceful, wooded setting. Welcome to 6551 Decou Drive, thoughtfully positioned on a tranquil, partially wooded lot that has been selectively cleared to strike the perfect balance of privacy and natural beauty. The covered front entry sets a gracious tone, inviting you inside to discover the exceptional craftsmanship and contemporary design found throughout this brand-new home. The foyer introduces wide-plank luxury vinyl flooring, crisp millwork, and a soothing neutral palette that extends across the main level. It opens seamlessly into the expansive great room, an impressive gathering space where daily living, dining, and entertaining naturally flow together. Bathed in natural light, the room is framed by large picture windows and an oversized glass slider that showcases woodland views and provides effortless access to the covered rear deck and patio. At the heart of the home is the gourmet kitchen, thoughtfully appointed with 42” white shaker cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a generous center island with breakfast bar seating, perfect for casual meals or conversation with the resident chef. A cozy fireplace anchors the living area, bringing warmth and welcome to this inviting space. The main-level primary suite is a private retreat featuring a tray ceiling, a spacious walk-in closet plus an additional reach-in closet, and a spa-inspired ensuite with dual vanity and a walk-in shower. Also on the main level are a guest bedroom, a dedicated home office, and a flexible bonus room ideal for formal dining, a hobby room, or an additional living space.
