About This Home

As of January 2026

Meticulously maintained rancher in the well-established community of Rolling Meadows- a hidden gem, close to everything! This charming 3BR/2BA single-level home exudes pride of ownership and sits peacefully on a quiet half acre lot in the back of the neighborhood. This home features a recently updated kitchen with quartz countertops, a living area with a gas fireplace and built-in bookshelves and gleaming hardwood floors. Additional improvements include updated bathrooms in 2019 & 2021, new windows in 2024 and an encapsulated crawlspace with dehumidifier and sump pump. The owners have installed surround sound speakers in the living, kitchen and dining areas and enjoy the convenience of a central vacuum. There is also a spacious 2 car garage with attached, heated workshop and a walk up attic for storage. The half acre lot is partially fenced with mature trees and plenty of room for a pool. There is an irrigation system for the lawn with a dedicated irrigation well and gutter guards on the roof. Rolling meadows is close to downtown Lewes and Rehoboth Beach, both with fabulous shopping, dining and entertainment. Rolling Meadows does have a community pool and low HOA fees and is conveniently located while remaining serene and private. This home is the perfect starter home, second/beach home or retirement property. Make your appointment today!
