Property Description

Welcome to this one of a kind historic home built by the coastguard like Fort Knox!! and incorporates a modern chic design!! Exceptional homes like this do not come on the market that often. This home was actually occupied by the lighthouse keeper at one time. This amazing two-story home offers the original chestnut millwork throughout and sits on over 1.5 acres of land with your forever conversation piece of Delaware's tallest lighthouse that towers up to 120 feet and served as Port Penn's Rear Range Lighthouse WOW! Feel free to research this fascinating history. The Coast Guard maintains the privately owned lighthouse. Upon entering you will love the wrap around porch overlooking the breathtaking pasture from a far and just a stones throw away, with nothing but peace and quit. Once inside you'll notice the 9.5 foot ceilings, antique wooden floors, just boasting with charm in the living room & dining room while enjoying your 2 wood burning fireplaces on those chilly nights. Now to the kitchen that was updated with nothing but elegance and top notch craftsmanship built by the Amish to blend perfectly with the original historian home. Upstairs you'll find a gorgeous updated large bathroom and 3 spacious bedrooms all hardwood floors as well. In addition to a large 2-car detached garage, there is an outbuilding that can be used for a workshop, studio or almost anything else you can imagine. Wouldn't you love to have the pride of owning a home that's on the National Registry of Historic Places! You just wont come across a Gem like this again. Please note that the lighthouse itself is owned and maintained separately from this property.
