18155 Deer Forest Road, Georgetown, DE 19947

OPEN HOUSE: Thursday, August 19, 1:00 pm–3:00 pm

This completely renovated, private-gated, six-bedroom home is the perfect year-round retreat! Set back on more than four acres of fenced, secluded farmland and surrounded by the tall, majestic trees of Redden State Forest, this beautiful two-story ranch home has stunning curb appeal. The original owners customized this property as a luxury off-grid retreat to grow, raise, and hunt for their own food. Unique highlights include an indoor hand-pump well as well as fencing and cross-fencing for livestock. An iron electric gate frames the long asphalt driveway, which leads to a paver-decorated parking area that accommodates a large number of vehicles or equipment. The home’s unique architectural design perfectly blends modern style with rustic charm. Enter through the carved, arched-stone doorway onto a large, welcoming porch complete with a wood ceiling and chandelier lighting. Once inside, enjoy an amazing open floor plan with wide-plank flooring throughout, an impressive family room with a decorative fireplace, and a spacious second-story loft. The updated, eat-in gourmet kitchen boasts sleek granite countertops, all-new fingerprint-resistant stainless-steel appliances, a Bosch double-oven wall set, a magnetic convection cooktop, a grand center island with seating, and a butler’s pantry with glass cabinetry and a second bar sink. Moreover, easily entertain family and friends in the large family room, which features an expansive wall of glass doors—lots of natural light in over 4,000 square feet of living space! Sliding barn doors also adorn the hallway closet. Take the stylish black-and-white staircase to the upper loft level, which offers ample space for a home office, game room, home theater, or all of the above—the possibilities are endless! Every bathroom in the home has been tastefully remodeled and updated, offering fresh paint throughout with a pleasing, neutral color palette. Additional upgrades include a newly encapsulated crawlspace with a commercial dehumidifier for complete mold protection; a new Mitsubishi ductless AC system to keep the loft living space as cool as the main floor and to help reduce electric bills; and a new aluminum roof and HVAC system. Furthermore, the septic system is in the process of being upgraded to accommodate the house's size. While enjoying the country-like feel of this marvelous home, delight in knowing that you are just a short drive to nearby hunting and fishing opportunities, the beaches, and every other natural amenity which our beautiful area has to offer. Moreover, enjoy easy access to Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC, and all of Coastal Delaware's amazing small towns. Schedule your tour of this unique property today! All staging furniture art and decor is included in the sale.
