16535 SWEETWATER DR Milton, DE 19968

This bright, open home with abundant curb appeal on a level acre is in River Rock Run where the living is good inside and out and homes go quickly. The large property allows it to be set back from the street with a relaxing porch, grand stone faade and intriguing roof lines.

Awake to morning sun in the generous sized first floor bedroom suite which also streams into the kitchen and great room where you can get your day off to a good start. Relax with your coffee on a barstool in the kitchen, outside on the screened in porch or on the luxurious E.P Henry paver patio courtyard. Make the best of the outdoors with a long level yard where you can enjoy seasonal games and room for a pool if you so desire.

The two-story foyer with transom window over the front door for extra light gives way to pleasingly warm toned engineered hardwood floors on most of the main floor.

To the left is a nice open office space for remote working with front facing windows and open to the back hall for quick access to the kitchen, powder room or garage. To the right is a formal dining room to make holiday memories and entertain friends.

The Great Room with vaulted ceiling boasts a cozy gas fueled fireplace with slate surround and hearth finished with a classic wood mantle. Including the breakfast area and kitchen it creates a huge open living space.

The kitchen works well for preparing meals, entertaining large groups or just hanging out for snacks. Plentiful cabinets in primary work zone plus a pantry and additional cabinets and counter adjacent to the breakfast area make a great spot for your specialty coffee machine. The appliances blend well with the similarly colored granite tops offset by a double door, stainless steel, bottom freezer style refrigerator (included). A moveable white island with metal work surface, additional storage and barstool seating makes the perfect complement to the dcor.

Bring your groceries from the garage through a short hall to the kitchen passing the laundry room and a convenient powder room. The efficient layout helps getting household work done as easily as possible.

Enjoy the comfort of a spacious main floor bedroom suite with adjoining bathroom with stall shower, water closet with privacy partition, an extended double vanity, linen, and walk-in closets

Upstairs is another world. Double windows in the three additional, large bedrooms make the rooms bright. One has another walk-in closet and all share a wide landing that leads to the hall bath. The second floor is a separate HVAC zone so you can choose to maintain different temperature than the main floor when not in use.

A powder room, laundry room access to the garage and full basement are located off the back hallway.

To all this consider the huge, dry, insulated basement with a high ceiling ideal for finishing any number of ways. Add a fitness room, woodworking shop, hobby area or media room. The interior staircase and a Bilco style doors above make it very accessible from the driveway side of the house.

The two zone HVAC and Rinnai Tankless Water heater help your home operate efficiently while the low rates from Delaware Electric Co-op are an excellent energy value.

Enjoy seasonal colors from the tastefully chosen landscaping. Crepe myrtles, shrub roses, day lilies and salvia. Hydrangea, gardenia, azalea, nandina and gold thread branch cypress, holly, a stunning camellia that blooms in December.

The front yard and planting bed, and the south side yard bed and outside the walls of the paver patio all have irrigation along with the lawn irrigation in the front half.

All the rooms in the house, apart from the laundry, powder room and office, were repainted in January 2021.

Enjoy country living with Downtown Milton, and the beaches of Lewes and Rehoboth only minutes away. Cape Henlopen and the extremely popular bike path system are nearby treasures you will want to share with friends and family.
