Description
The lank house is on the national historic registry and it sits on a double lot charmingly surrounded by a picket fence and large shade trees. this gracious home had a new roof in 2023, new insulation in 2024 and new exterior paint in 2025. current owner is a licensed realtor and has made every effort to maintain the charm of this home. in 2002 a major reno was completed adding a modern master suite on the 1st floor and 2 smaller bedrooms on the 2nd floor (with modern hvac). all windows are updated/insulated except for the two in the dining room and one in the hall upstairs but we enjoyed looking out the same glass panes as 8 generations of families before us.
the best thing about this location is that it's only a 5 min walk past victorian homes to dogfish head, irish eyes, the doughbar, tequila real, 2 parks (with live music during summer), a library, a theatre and cool little shops. what's not to love? oh and broadkill beach is 10 min away, lewes beach is 15 min and rehoboth beach is 20 min.
this home shares the block with the golden rule lodge that belongs to the independent order of odd fellows, a group that can be traced back to england whose mission is to be of service to the people of milton and they certainly are!
*pellet stove in dining room is included but not hooked up at this time. home has a robust electric hvac and cold central air, original baseboard heating. home is remarkably cool in summer due to how older homes were built. we were told that dutch shipbuilders settled here and built homes like ours and the gingerbread trim was a clue! there's info about our home at the milton historical society on union st if you are interested.
