In Pursuit of the Perfect Property

Here at Cooper Realty we are going to do our own version of HGTV’s “House Hunters” called In Pursuit of the Perfect Property – our theme for this week is single family homes with at least 4 bedrooms. So, without further ado, here are your property choices for this week…

I am a huge fan of the show House Hunters on HGTV.  I love seeing what homes in other areas of the country look like and how much home money will buy in different places.  If you haven’t seen the show, basically a person looking for a new home is shown 3 different homes that fulfill their needs.  I’m sure in reality the buyer sees more than three homes and the show just shows three, but that’s beside the point.  In the end the buyer chooses one home to put an offer on and the show gives a narration of the process from offering to making settlement to settling in!  It’s a great show!

Spotlight on Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delaware

Looking for a place to eat in Millsboro, or just wanting to check out a new local joint? Blue Water Grill in Millsboro, Delware has a great atmosphere and terrific food…

In Sussex County, towns like Lewes and Rehoboth Beach get a lot of publicity, and for good reason, but the inland town of Millsboro is a great town as well!  Last time I was there, I had no idea where to eat so I took a chance and walked into the Blue Water Grill (226 Main Street).  And let me tell you, I’m so glad I took that chance.  It was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!

The atmosphere was laid-back and hip.  It was the kind of place that could be dressed up or down so that anyone would be comfortable.  You could throw on jeans and a t-shirt and bring the kids for a family meal, put on a suit and tie and bring your colleagues or customers for a business lunch, or dress up a little and come for date-night!

Atmosphere is great, but let’s talk food… that’s why you go to a restaurant in the first place, isn’t it?  Every bite of the food at Blue Water Grill was absolutely delicious.  I went for lunch with my husband and ordered the salmon sandwich.  I love salmon, and the sandwich did not disappoint, but it was the house horsey sauce that took it from yummy to Y-U-M-M-Y!  My husband had a burger and said it was one of the best burgers he’d ever had (and he LOVES burgers, so that’s high praise!).  Our entrees were delicious – even the fries were good, but it was our starter that left us wanting more.  The House Recipe Seafood Bisque was awesome!  I’m not exaggerating at all when I tell you that it was by far the best soup I’ve ever had.  We ordered a bowl to share, but we should’ve each ordered our own because we were practically fighting for the last spoonful.  I’m nearly drooling just thinking about it!

In case you couldn’t tell, I would highly recommend eating at the Blue Water Grill (you can check out their full menu here).  And while you’re in Millsboro you should look around a little bit; maybe you’ll decide it’s the perfect place for you.  If that’s the case, give us a call at Cooper Realty — 302-644-2266 and let us help you find your new home!

Just Like New 4 Bedroom Home in Millsboro, DE!

Additional benefits of living in Stonewater Creek are full access to the clubhouse, exercise equipment, tennis courts, and swimming pool/jacuzzi. That’s like having a free membership to the YMCA without having to do all of the driving!

 FABULOUS HOME IN STONEWATER CREEK!
You really should check out this great house I found for sale in Longneck!  Well, the mailing address is actually Millsboro, but it’s a short drive on Beaver Dam Road to get to Five Points, Lewes, or northbound Route 1.  It’s less than 5 minutes away from Baywood Golf Course on Route 24 and the Peninsula Golf Course and Country Club in Millsboro.  It’s also very easy to hop on Route 24 and drive west toward Laurel, Seaford, or even Salisbury.  This house is in the great development of Stonewater Creek!  It’s fantastic!  It is much larger than it appears, with 4 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, a 2-car garage, a relaxing front porch, and a flagstone patio out back.  There is a custom-built shed and swing set, as well as flower gardens designed with PA fieldstone.  There is irrigation tied to a well to help maintain a beautiful landscape.  The house is only four years old and has been kept in great condition.  Additional benefits of living in Stonewater Creek are full access to the clubhouse, exercise equipment, tennis courts, and swimming pool/jacuzzi.  That’s like having a free membership to the YMCA without having to do all of the driving!  And it that’s not enough excitement for you, there’s even more….this house is being sold mostly furnished for only $269,900!  That is a steal!  I could go on and on about this house!  I absolutely love it!  Oh, did I happen to mention that it’s my house that’s for sale?  Well, as much as I have loved living there, there is a season for everything, and it is my time to move on.  It will be a bittersweet goodbye.  But, I will be very happy for the next owner who gets to enjoy living there!
