A lovely brick federal style home with some Georgian characteristics. This home is placed on the national historic register. The property itself is 14.6 acres improved by mature trees, magnificent boxwoods, and lots of privacy. The home and numerous outbuildings were originally built during the local peach era, making Monterey one of Middletown's peach plantation homes. The outbuildings have just as much history as the main house. Additionally featured are several barns, a second 3 bedroom home, 4 car garage, and a 3 hole privy which is also on the historic register along with the unique ice and smoke houses. This country estate home is a great opportunity to add your restoration touches and make this your farmette in which to raise your kids, horses, and animals.

As one approaches this coveted setting, you meander along the blacktop treed approach, through a small, wooded area over the stream, and you must watch out for the ducks and geese and their babies.

Along the way up the private drive, you may see deer, fox and numerous turkeys as you near the 25+ year old colonial style home neatly nestled on 30 acres of fields, crops, woods and lawn.

As you enter the main entrance hall with its grand curved stairway with hardwood flooring.  The whole home was built with upgrades throughout; 10’ first floor ceilings, gracious sized rooms, lots of moldings and built-ins.  Lots of granite throughout the home, custom cabinetry, ceramic tile, 4 burner Viking range.  Many of the oversized windows in this 3-4 bedroom 2 ½ bath home have lovely views looking out over the natural landscape and habitat.  The primary bedroom suite with office, expansive bath and large walk-in closets are a true complement to the home.

The privacy, the entrance, woods, fields, and stream create an environment second to none in the Appoquinimink school system.
