Step onto the wide wrap-around porch—perfect for rocking-chair mornings—and head inside to an airy, open-concept layout anchored by a chef-friendly kitchen: stainless-steel appliances, abundant prep space, and sightlines to the dining area and living room so no one misses the conversation. Two generous bedrooms sit at opposite ends - one upstairs and one downstairs - for extra privacy; the primary suite enjoys its own full bath, while a second full bath serves guests and the roomy secondary bedroom. There's even a full bathroom on the first floor for guests! French doors draw you out to a sun-splashed back deck overlooking 5+ unrestricted acres—ideal for gardens, hobby farming, a future pole barn, or simply soaking in Sussex County sunsets. With no HOA, low county taxes, and plenty of parking, you’re free to turn this property into the retreat you’ve always imagined. All of this tranquility is just minutes from Route 113, downtown Georgetown conveniences, and a short drive to Lewes, Rehoboth, and Delaware’s celebrated beaches. Peaceful acreage, modern comforts, and endless potential—schedule your private tour of 20852 Country Road today!
