Welcome to this amazing property at 30424 Marina Road - located outside Dagsboro on a quiet street located just down the road from the Delaware Botanic Gardens. This property is its own 1 acre garden paradise lovingly curated over the last 60 years by the previous owners. As you approach the property, the privacy is immediately evident. There is fencing that creates a formal border for the gardens that lie behind and surround the home. Walk up the path to this 3BR/3BA mid-century style rancher, the first fully electric home in Sussex County that was built in 1964. The home now has a new roof - which was replaced in 2024. The entryway features custom built-ins for decorative objects and there is a convenient storage wall between the foyer and the living room. This main space is anchored by gorgeous bookshelves and large windows bring the outside into this gathering space. The separate dining area has an accent wall and an original chandelier. There is easy access to the kitchen, which is bright and white with a pop of red on the countertops and the walls. There are built-in pantry shelves and a wall oven for space-saving convenience.

Bedroom two has several large windows and pops of color original to the home. There is a second full bath in the hallway for this bedroom. The laundry room is a former bedroom that was converted and has high-end Bosch front loading washer/dryer and loads of storage space.
