Embrace the charm of small-town life with this beautifully renovated home in the heart of historic Townsend. Originally built circa 1900, this home has been thoughtfully updated to blend modern comfort with timeless character. Nestled on a spacious corner lot at Main and South Streets, it offers an oversized driveway, large fenced backyard, two convenient storage sheds and plenty of curb appeal. Step onto the inviting maintenance-free front porch where you can relax with your morning coffee or chill with friends. This home radiates warmth and welcome as you enter through the new front door into a spacious living room filled with natural light and luxury vinyl plank flooring. It flows directly into the heart of the home - a fully renovated chef’s kitchen, with white shaker cabinetry, quartz countertops, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, a large pantry, and a galley-style eat-in area perfect for daily meals or entertaining guests. Down the hall, you’ll find a 1st floor bedroom and a renovated full bath with a walk-in shower - ideal for guests or single-floor living. There's also a 1st floor laundry/mud room with direct access to the side driveway. A newly added staircase leads to the expansive second-floor primary suite, offering a peaceful retreat with two oversized closets, a dedicated home office nook, a private en-suite bath, and access to a spacious 14' x 8' attic storage room. The large fenced yard shaded by trees is perfect for backyard barbecues, sitting around the firepit, gardening, or simply enjoying the outdoors. Two storage sheds (16' x 10' and 10' x 10') provide plenty of extra space for tools, bikes, or hobbies. Ideally located within walking distance to Townsend Elementary in the ever popular Appoquinimink School District, and just a short drive to Middletown’s vibrant shopping and dining scene or the Delaware beaches for a weekend escape. A perfect blend of history, charm, and modern updates—this is small-town living at its finest. MAKE THIS YOUR NEW HOME TODAY!
