About This Home

As of December 2024

Introducing 8 Water St., a stunning retreat nestled in the serene community of Pond Side Acres. Set on a picturesque 1.25-acre lot, this home offers tranquil pond views just across the street, where the water’s edge draws Delmarva’s abundant wildlife, including graceful swans and a variety of birds. From many windows throughout the home, you’ll be able to take in the peaceful beauty of the pond—a perfect backdrop for daily life. The welcoming covered front entry invites you inside to discover a world of architectural elegance. Wide plank Australian oak flooring, exquisite millwork, shiplap walls and ceilings, and custom cabinetry adorn every corner of this home. The main living area is a grand space with a soaring two-story vaulted ceiling, atrium doors leading to the rear yard, and an elegantly framed staircase and landing above—an ideal setting for both entertaining and intimate gatherings. The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream, boasting expansive granite countertops, custom mahogany, 42-inch display cabinetry with built-in pullouts, and a center island perfect for meal prep. Adjacent is a charming breakfast room, featuring a bow window and is crowned with an eye-catching wood ceiling, offering lovely views to enjoy as you start your day. The kitchen is complemented by a butler’s pantry and wet bar walk-through to the conveniently located spacious formal dining room. Escape to the luxurious primary suite on the main level, complete with a bump-out area framed in windows making it the perfect seating area, a walk-in closets, and a spa-like ensuite bath. The bathroom features a dual vanity, a soaking tub, a stall shower, and a private water closet. Also on the main floor is a guest bedroom with direct access to the powder bath, a spacious laundry room offering access to the oversized two-car garage and the inviting screened porch—perfect for enjoying your morning coffee. Upstairs, the grand staircase leads to two additional bedrooms, both featuring charming dormer bump-out spaces. A well-appointed hall bathroom serves the upper level, and a bonus room provides versatile space for a family room or recreation area. Two large walk-in attic spaces offer ample storage and the potential for additional living space if desired. Outside, the expansive backyard invites endless possibilities for outdoor living and entertaining, with plenty of green space to enjoy, a secure storage building, and an above-ground pool for those warm summer days. While this home boasts a peaceful Lincoln address, it’s just a short drive to the quaint town of Milton and the beautiful Delaware coastline. Come and explore the serenity, charm, and thoughtful design that 8 Water St. has to offer.
