American Beauty, made by hand in Delaware Shade trees shower manicured lawns in dappled sunlight. The traditional Salt Box Style harkens to a bygone time ensuring this one-of-a-kind custom home holds value in this private enclave on Garrisons Lake. The bespoke Colonial design found at 89 Dodge Drive is rendered in cedar wood planks, rustic brick foundation, and crisp white windows framing views of this lush setting from within. The barn-red door welcomes all to one family’s forever home. Completed in 1990, become the second wave of stewards. Inside, the center hall plan invites you into the foyer where pegged wood floors, French doors, turned balustrades, chair rails and crown molding set a formal tone that belies the casual lifestyle it supports. As you travel through to the heart of the home — the eat-in country kitchen and adjoining deck, appreciate full-length double hung windows in the formal living and dining rooms, the tile flooring and granite counters in the kitchen. Two half-baths on this level and conveniently designed for guests and family. Three bedrooms, two full baths — the primary features a mirrored vanity, walk-in dress, Jacuzzi whirlpool soaking tub — and a bonus, unfinished fourth bedroom/studio already roughed in with plumbing and electrical lines. The full basement is daylit from clerestory windows. Finished with carpeted stairs and floors, a full bath and wet bar plus two entertainment areas complete the interior landscape. Built-in shelving and an egress and ingress to and from the rear yard are accessible from the basement. The black-topped driveway is occasionally used to maintain and monitor a contiguous pump station owned by Kent County.
