About This Home

As of May 2025

Welcome home to this well-maintained Dunbar model ranch home with a full professionally finished basement situated on a wooded lot in the highly sought-after neighborhood of Springmill in Middletown. The home has seen significant updates, including the replacement of the original HVAC system, a state of the art Fisher & Paykel diswasher, premium Dacor stainless steel oven, along with customized cabinetry in the kitchen to store the various trays, cooking utensils that came with the Dacor oven. This charming residence offers three spacious bedrooms and three full baths. Beautiful light hardwood floors grace both the main level and the fully finished basement, providing a seamless and elegant look throughout. The kitchen is truly a chef’s delight, featuring granite countertops, a custom pan holder over the island, a tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances as mentioned above, and much more. The owner’s bedroom boasts a tray ceiling with a fan, large walk-in closet, and an en suite bathroom equipped with a jacuzzi tub and a separate shower. The guest bedroom is located on the opposite side of the Great Room which is adorned with crown molding, hardwood floors, ceiling speakers, and a gas fireplace. As you descend to the lower level, you will be amazed by the light hardwood flooring and the variety of living spaces. An office, multiple living areas, a third bedroom with an en suite, and a second kitchen provide ideal accommodations for guests, long-term family member stays, or entertaining. There is ample storage space and an area that could serve as a workshop or fitness room. The exterior of the home is equally impressive, with a lawn equipped with an irrigation system, a natural gas tap ready for a BBQ hookup and a wooded area in the back. The fabulous clubhouse offers a diverse array of amenities for today’s active adults, including an outdoor pool, tennis courts, pickleball, bocce, billiards, cards, a library, and a fitness center. Springmill is a suburban oasis with ample shopping and restaurant options nearby. It provides convenient access to hospitals, Route 1, Route 301, and I-95. Beach enthusiasts will appreciate the Delaware beaches, which are within an hour’s drive. This home is truly a unique gem in the community and a must-see for prospective buyers.
