Modern sophistication meets coastal tranquility - welcome to 26178 Milby Circle! This nearly new Jefferson floor plan townhome truly checks all the boxes. Located on a premium corner lot surrounded by green space on three sides - front, side and back yards - this home is the ideal retreat to relax and unwind. A maintenance-free lifestyle awaits you as the HOA maintains both the front and back yards, and lawn irrigation is also included. This stunning four bedroom, three-and-a-half-bathroom townhome greets you with bright and airy living spaces, a state-of-the-art kitchen, Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) flooring, and specialty lighting. A rare treat is the natural gas fireplace with stone surround - one of the few homes in the community to feature a fireplace - perfect to take the chill off of crisp nights. The interior spaces are luminous and inviting, enhanced by side windows that flood the home with natural light. A cathedral ceiling opening to the second-floor loft creates an airy, gallery-like space - ideal for displaying art or treasured pieces. The kitchen island is the centerpiece of the entertaining area, offering seating for six. Meals are easily prepared with the gas cooktop and double ovens, making it both stylish and functional. The first-floor primary bedroom suite, off the great room, features a tray ceiling and custom light fixture. Two walk-in closets and an ensuite bathroom with dual vanities and an oversized, double-head walk-in shower complete the space. Finishing out the first floor is a nice-size laundry area and a powder room. Upstairs one will find a second primary bedroom complete with a generous walk-in closet and ensuite bathroom. The adjacent Loft area provides another living area. Two additional bedrooms with ample natural light, large closets and custom light fixtures complete the upstairs level. The Sonos sound system in the first floor and second floor Loft areas adds to the laid-back, modern vibe of the home. A screen porch and paver patio are the perfect areas to either sip that morning cup of coffee or finish up the day with a relaxing al fresco meal. The back yard faces the walking path/tree line of the community, providing both privacy and green space. The home has an extra parking pad in the front, which combined with being an end-unit, makes for easier daily routines. This meticulously maintained home is only 8 miles from both Rehoboth Beach and Lewes. It is also a quick drive to the Bays of the Long Neck area and Millsboro, providing abundant opportunities for exploring nature, dining, and shopping. The Villas at Walden is part of the nearby single family home community of Walden. The two communities share a beautiful 5,000 square feet clubhouse with fitness center, outdoor pools, tot lot, pickleball courts, multi-use sport court, and a pier on Burton's Pond where you can launch your kayak for a day on the water! In addition, there is a large courtyard, BBQ area, recreation room with a fireplace and wet bar for entertaining and games. Villas at Walden also has a second outdoor pool located within the community, and has a walking trail around the community's perimeter. All these amenities included in the HOA for a low fee. This is more than just a home; it's a lifestyle.
