Property Description
A Home That Has Stood the Test of Time For the first time ever, this cherished Milford residence is being offered to the public, a rare opportunity to own a home that has been lovingly passed down through generations. Tucked into a peaceful street just steps from downtown, this stately Colonial blends timeless charm with meaningful updates, offering a lifestyle steeped in history, heart, and heritage. Lovingly preserved by one family for generations, this three-story Colonial home stands as a tribute to quality craftsmanship and enduring care. With its rich architectural details and thoughtful modern touches, it offers a rare blend of character, comfort, and pride of ownership. From the moment you step inside, you’re welcomed by a gracious foyer where original architectural details, like classic moldings and millwork, whisper stories of years gone by. These timeless elements carry throughout the home, each space revealing a unique chapter in its long and cherished history. The main level showcases a traditional layout with defined spaces, including a formal living room and formal dining room, each ideal for gathering with family or entertaining guests. A cozy solarium-style family room invites relaxation in the glow of natural light, while the inviting country-style kitchen, complete with space for casual dining, provides the heart of the home. Just off the kitchen, a charming screened porch adds a layer of warmth and nostalgia, highlighting exposed wood siding and a stunning beamed ceiling. It’s the perfect place to savor your morning coffee or unwind in the evening. A main-floor powder room adds convenience for guests, along with access to a pristine basement, a rare find. Whether you envision a workshop, creative studio, or additional storage, this blank canvas awaits your imagination. Upstairs, the enduring beauty of the home continues with three well-proportioned bedrooms, each uniquely appointed and sharing a spacious hall bath. A large bonus room offers wonderful flexibility, ideal for a home office, playroom, or second living area. Venture further up to the walk-up attic, a remarkable space rich in character with original wood floors, beamed ceilings, and charming dormer nooks on all four sides. This expansive top-level retreat is ready to become a studio, lounge, or home theater whatever your lifestyle desires. Outside, a two-car pole building garage with a loft, added in 2004, offers generous storage or potential for an accessory dwelling unit (ADU), thanks to the property’s location within Milford town limits. Two covered concrete pads, one currently used as a kennel, provide ideal outdoor space for pets, while the fenced backyard offers a secure and peaceful space for children or four-legged companions to roam. Located just a short stroll from the heart of downtown Milford, this home puts you close to charming shops, cafés, art galleries, and a blossoming community undergoing exciting revitalization. And when you’re ready to explore beyond town, the pristine beaches and vibrant coastal communities of Delaware are just a short drive away. Come experience a home where history, heart, and heritage meet. Whether you're seeking a forever home or a graceful coastal getaway, this Milford gem is ready to welcome you home.Property Details
