About 203 Chandler St
THE SETTING: This house is in a lovely setting in the historic town of Milton, DE. Its two
front porches showcase a view of the Broadkill River. Opening the front window curtains in the
morning is like unveiling an Impressionist painting, per the owners. Bald eagles, seagulls, and
herons can be seen too! Cherry trees along the water mark the changing with their pink
flowers, autumn leaves, and holiday lights. The Wednesday night summer concerts in the park
can be enjoyed right from the porches. As the sun sets, the sky often takes on a soft pink hue
and the water glistens. Drinks on a porch are always better with a view!
THE FEATURES: Several features stand out to make living in this home effortless. The
Main Floor, accessed by the elevator from the lower level or stairs, offers the ease of true
ranch-style living. This design functions well with a split bedroom layout that includes walk-in
closets, a home office off the foyer, and a spacious living room, kitchen, and dining area in the
center. A large walk-in pantry lies just off the kitchen. Across from it is a well- equipped laundry
room, with access to a deck and the backyard. A 6’ cedar fence and lush arbor vitae create
privacy. There is a large paver patio, a smaller bluestone patio, and landscaped beds. However, if a
pool is desired, this yard could accommodate one!
A whole house generator provides peace of mind during stormy weather. An irrigation
system, with a separate water meter, helps maintain the lawn.
The Lower Level can accommodate up to 5 vehicles; one of four garages allows two cars
to be parked in tandem. The ample storage space can also accommodate multiple workbenches
and has room for jet skis, kayaks, or even a boat. There is a center finished area with an outside
entrance as well as opening to the garages. A drop zone, the elevator, closets and a sink are in
this area.
The Upper Level is a flex space. It can be used as a game room, exercise area, or
for additional sleeping space for guests. It includes a full bath.
THE ACCESSABILITY: One of the remarkable advantages of this house is its accessibility
to the town and services. It is a five minute walk to the theater, restaurants, library, and shops.
A bit of a longer walk leads one to a delightful coffeehouse and additional restaurant choices.
The grocery store, pharmacy, post office, and even urgent care are a five to ten minute drive.
The town’s beautiful Historical Society and Friday’s Farmer’s Market are also just down the
street.
