About This Home

Thirteen acres of privacy, a 40x64 drive-through pole barn, owned solar, and a 5-bedroom Cape Cod with over 5,200 square feet of finished living space. Properties like this rarely come to market. The home delivers exceptional flexibility across multiple levels. Above grade, five bedrooms and five full bathrooms are spread across thoughtfully separated wings, giving every occupant genuine privacy. The primary suite is a standout: his and her bathrooms, a walk-in closet, and a dedicated sitting area that functions as a true retreat. The open main level connects a sprawling great room, formal dining area, and a well-appointed kitchen with stainless appliances, a granite center island, and tile backsplash. Sliding glass doors lead to a rear four-season room with its own HVAC system that overlooks the property's expansive acreage. The covered front porch provides a second outdoor living option with a quieter character. Below grade, approximately 1,800 square feet of finished basement space adds a large rec room, a full bathroom with shower, a workshop area, and additional storage. The layout handles overflow living, hobby space, or a home office with ease. The pole barn is the property's breakout feature. At 40x64x16 with drive-through access, concrete floors, and 100-amp electrical service, it accommodates virtually any use: vehicle storage, equipment, a workshop, a home-based business, or recreational storage at scale. The extra ceiling height makes it practical for larger vehicles and lifts. Additional property highlights include 320 amp electric service, a separate 2nd floor heat pump for ac and heat, includes owned solar panels providing long-term energy savings with no lease to assume, an owned propane tank, and a long private driveway with substantial parking capacity. The 13.9 acres are a mix of usable yard, naturally landscaped grounds, and wooded areas that create a genuine sense of seclusion without sacrificing access. Located in Hartly, Delaware with easy reach to Dover, Smyrna, and commuter routes north toward Wilmington, south toward the Shore and west toward Annapolis.
