If you value privacy, nature, and space, this exceptional property offers all three while remaining conveniently close to Middletown, Smyrna, and Dover. Privately situated southwest of Townsend on 1.57 acres, this charming 1989 ranch is set well back from the road off a lengthy driveway, creating a peaceful and private approach. The partially wooded property features a combination of open and wooded areas, along with a small stream bordering one side. The home offers a comfortable blend of character, functionality, and modern updates. Recent improvements include fresh neutral paint, new carpeting, a new dishwasher, newer septic system, roof, wood-burning stove, garage lighting, windows, and hot water heater. The kitchen features newer cabinetry, granite countertops, a center island with breakfast bar, recessed lighting, tile flooring, and a dining area with a wood burning stove. The generously sized living room, which could also serve as a dining area, is positioned between the kitchen and Great Room and features bamboo flooring. The spacious Great Room offers bamboo flooring, a wood-burning fireplace, ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and windows overlooking the surrounding natural setting. The primary bedroom is privately positioned at the opposite end of the home and features a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fan, two generous closets, new carpeting, and windows overlooking the outdoors.
