Property details
About 414 Kings Hwy
Nestled on a spacious, beautifully landscaped lot in the heart of Milford, this stately brick Colonial stands proudly as a testament to timeless elegance and meticulous care. Just a short stroll from Main Street’s vibrant local restaurants, cozy coffee shops, and tax-free shopping, and within easy reach of Delaware’s scenic coastline and resort towns, this address offers the perfect blend of small-town charm and coastal adventure. Majestically perched to showcase views of Silver Lake, the home is framed by mature trees and lush plantings that create a serene retreat. Over the last decade, and especially the past five years, the current owner has thoughtfully reimagined every detail, transforming what was once a modest 1950s Colonial into an exquisite residence worthy of the pages of a design magazine. Throughout the home, fine finishes and rich millwork speak to the craftsmanship poured into every space. Deep crown moldings accented with dental trim, refinished hardwood floors, and a once-simple brick fireplace now reimagined as a breathtaking focal point lend sophistication and warmth to the interiors. Inside, each room is curated with impeccable taste. The formal living room showcases the showstopping fireplace and custom built-in bookcases, an inviting backdrop for conversation or quiet reflection. The gourmet kitchen is a masterpiece in itself. Custom cabinetry, including display cupboards and a beautifully crafted hutch breakfront, pair seamlessly with leathered-honed granite countertops and a generous center island. High-end stainless steel appliances, Sub-Zero and Bosch, stand ready for culinary adventures. A deep custom pantry with built-ins, offers exceptional storage, and plumbing is in place for a wet bar or baking station to suit your needs. Enjoy casual meals in the sunlit breakfast nook or host elegant gatherings in the formal dining room, either setting provides the perfect stage for every occasion. Nearby, the inviting family room beckons you to gather with loved ones for evening cocktails or to unwind with your latest beach read. Just off the living room, a three-season room offers an airy space ideal for morning coffee or afternoon conversation. A beautifully appointed powder bath completes the main level.

The partially finished lower level extends the home’s versatility, with a wet bar and kitchenette area, additional living space, a half bath, storage room, and walk-out access to the side yard, ready to be elevated to the next level of comfort. Outdoors, the detached two-car garage includes a spacious walk-up loft, ideal as a workshop, art studio, or potential accessory dwelling unit (ADU), now a possibility in the town of Milford. Recent updates are both extensive and thoughtful, offering peace of mind for years to come. The home features 2, zoned 3-ton HVAC systems with additional vents throughout, new roofs on the garage and three-season, a newly designed and installed front steps, updated electrical systems, replacement of most windows, refinished hardwood floors, fresh interior paint, and bamboo flooring in the family room.
