Description

Welcome to this amazing property at 30424 Marina Road - located outside Dagsboro on a quiet street located just down the road from the Delaware Botanic Gardens. This property is its own 1 acre garden paradise lovingly curated over the last 60 years by the previous owners. As you approach the property, the privacy is immediately evident. There is fencing that creates a formal border for the gardens that lie behind and surround the home. Walk up the path to this 3BR/3BA mid-century style rancher, the first fully electric home in Sussex County that was built in 1964. The home now has a new roof - which was replaced in 2024. The entryway features custom built-ins for decorative objects and there is a convenient storage wall between the foyer and the living room. This main space is anchored by gorgeous bookshelves and large windows bring the outside into this gathering space. The separate dining area has an accent wall and an original chandelier. There is easy access to the kitchen, which is bright and white with a pop of red on the countertops and the walls. There are built-in pantry shelves and a wall oven for space-saving convenience. Walk down the hall to the spacious master suite with custom headboard and night stands, a large walk-in closet and an oversized en suite bathroom. This restful space includes dual vanities, a mini-split for heat and AC, heated towel rack, and a walk-in shower. There is even a private entrance that leads to the private garden paths out back. Bedroom two has several large windows and pops of color original to the home. There is a second full bath in the hallway for this bedroom. The laundry room is a former bedroom that was converted and has high-end Bosch front loading washer/dryer and loads of storage space. Walk downstairs to the finished basement with a built-in bar and an awesome lounge space with seating and a decorative mantel - which is like stepping back in time in a great way. The basement also has two bonus rooms to use however you want - gym/office - you choose. Back upstairs walk out to the large screen porch overlooking the gardens and then walk from the porch to the amazing new 1BR/1BA apartment created in 2022 from the former garage. This stunning unit has a large great room space with bookshelves, ceiling fans, radiant heated floors and FLOR flooring tiles for a contemporary and comfortable space. This space is heated and cooled by mini-split units and has its own water heater. There is a large bedroom with loads of storage, desk space, another ceiling fan and a gorgeous bathroom. There is even a small kitchen efficiency space with countertops, a sink and room for a microwave or a coffee bar. Walk out from the apartment through new sliding glass doors to the private patio overlooking the gardens. As you start to explore the property you will see that there is plenty of parking space and a large insulated shed. The shed has spray foam insulation which makes it much more temperate year-round. It also has electric service, pegboard walls for tools and a concrete floor. Garden paths lead you throughout this paradise so you can see what this family lovingly created over decades spent on this property. There are many perennials and native species thoughout. Bring you gardening skills and dreams as there is so much room to create your own version of paradise. Come see this unique property today - this one will not last!
