Description

Step into History, Live in Elegance: Milford’s Timeless Victorian AwaitsStep into history with 1885 elegance at this stunning Victorian residence in the heart of Milford, Delaware. From the moment you approach, the home captivates with its multicolored Victorian-style exterior, meticulously highlighting the intricate architectural details that define this grand era. A welcoming covered porch provides two points of entry: the main door and the solarium, inviting both formal arrivals and leisurely moments bathed in natural light.Through the main entrance, a charming vestibule leads to a foyer anchored by a sweeping staircase with painted spindles and an open, post-free design, a true centerpiece guiding you through the home’s timeless interiors. Original hardwood floors, painstakingly refinished, weave a story of craftsmanship with intricate border inlays that continue throughout the main living spaces. The living room, a ballroom-sized sanctuary, showcases these floors alongside soaring ceilings, crown molding, and floor-to-ceiling windows. A stately fireplace with finely detailed mantle adds warmth and sophistication, while the room’s generous scale allows for multiple living zones. Adjacent, the solarium is framed by French glass doors and three walls of picture windows, flooding the space with light and offering serene views of the exterior. Beyond the foyer, stained glass French doors reveal the formal dining room, adorned with crown molding, chair rail, and a stunning leaded-glass Palladian-style window flanked by picture windows. An original Waterford crystal chandelier hangs gracefully above, reflecting the home’s refined heritage. The kitchen, a bridge between eras, offers modern updates, including granite counters, stainless steel appliances, backsplash, and abundant built-in storage, while honoring its past as the home’s heart. A spacious laundry room and pantry enhance functionality. Off the kitchen, the family room (currently used as a main-floor bedroom) features opposing walls of sliding glass doors opening to a charming courtyard and rear yard, with a full bath adorned with custom stained glass pieces that create a mesmerizing play of light. Upstairs, the original hardwood floors continue, guiding you to four unique bedrooms. Each showcases Victorian woodwork, trims, and millwork, with ensuite baths that blend historical charm, clawfoot tubs, detailed fixtures, with comfort and elegance. The primary suite offers a private sitting area, dressing space, walk-in closet, and its own staircase leading to a versatile attic space ready for your vision. An additional back staircase provides easy access to the kitchen, connecting the levels with convenience and flow.The current homeowners have thoughtfully updated the home while preserving its character: a new roof, sunroom ceiling, painted interiors, chimney restoration, updated plumbing and electrical, new water line and sewer to the street, HVAC system, whole-home water softening system, ceiling fans, and modern kitchen appliances. Outside, tree removal and a spacious rear yard provide a blank canvas for outdoor living, while a detached garage, complete with original weathervane, offers ample storage for two vehicles.This 1885 Victorian is more than a home; it’s a journey through time, beautifully preserved and thoughtfully modernized, offering a rare opportunity to own a piece of Milford’s architectural heritage while creating your own chapter in its story.Property to be sold AS IS All major mechanicals repaired or replaced: New Roof on house and garage, flashing, gutters, soffit, plumbing/pipes, new garbage disposal, newer appliances within 4 years, electrical outlets up to date, new water and sewer line, whole house water softner, chimney repaired from roof line up, new water heater, Electric
