Searching for a property that sits on 1.5 acres and yet is still located within minutes of Smyrna and Dover? This home features 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and ample space for a peaceful retreat in the country just outside of town. The interior includes a spacious living room perfect for entertaining, with a dining area open to the kitchen. You’ll find the kitchen equipped with black appliances, space for barstools at the counter, and a double sink with a window above overlooking the yard. Wood accents on the ceiling and exposed beams bring warmth and character to the kitchen and dining areas. Two secondary bedrooms share a full hall bathroom with a tub/shower combo and single vanity. The primary bedroom includes a full en-suite bathroom with a stall shower and generous space. A sliding glass door from the dining room opens to a side deck—perfect for enjoying quiet mornings or hosting friends. A shed offers additional storage, and a 1-car garage rounds out this fantastic property. The home is in good shape overall but could use a little updating, making it a great opportunity to personalize while enjoying space and convenience. Schedule your tour today—you won’t want to miss it!

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
