476 RUYTER DR Frederica, DE 19946

PRICE REDUCED to move this property for the new year! We took a break through Christmas and we are now ready to find this home's new owners! This beautiful 4-5 bedroom, 2.5 bath, custom 2,384 +/-sq ft home is in the highly desirable Riverview Estates off Andrews Lake road. This is one of the original properties and is NOT deed restricted NOR is it a part of the HOA. This is your home to do with as you please. This 2-story contemporary home with accented brick front is situated on a premium wooded lot, offering a great mixture of sun and shade. The 2 car garage has a bonus workbench bump out area, floor to ceiling built in storage shelving, and space to actually park 2 cars. The tall mature trees give this .55+/-acre property a state park feel when the sunset cascades the long shadows and warm golden rays through the enormous tree-lined back yard. Listen to the birds and the breeze on the large well-built rear deck. Its right off the kitchen and great for entertaining. The bright and airy spacious kitchen offers stainless appliances, two tiered wrap around counter with bar stools, breakfast nook, recessed lighting, pantry and great flow into the family room with gas fireplace. The heart of this home is the grand 2 story foyer w/curved staircase that is decorated and ready for a magazine cover. The 1st floor owner suite is just off the foyer and well equipped with full bath and walking closet. There are three more bedrooms, a bonus room, and a full bath upstairs. The bonus room could be an office, playroom, craft room or another 5th bedroom. Lost of new upgrades; the furnace, a massive 4 ton A/C unit, the well pump, 2 high quality storm doors, and the fridge have all been replaced in the last 4 years. The new furnace is propane. The stove and the hot water heater are electric. Owner uses Sharp energy for propane, but natural gas is available at the street. If the new owner wants to switch out the stove to natural gas, Chesapeake Utilities was willing to run the line to the house for free. The septic was replaced and expanded in 2016. Its almost all new! I love the arrival and departure under the beautiful canopy of trees that seem to wave hello and goodbye. Located near McGinnis Pond and Andrews Lake, minutes from the base, shopping, and the beaches but quiet enough to hear the breeze and the birds.
