Open House in Paynter’s Mill Author: Apr 11

Yesterday was a beautiful spring day on the Delaware shore. I held open houses in Paynter’s Mill in Milton. Which is just a few hundred yards away of being in Lewes. It is only 3 miles to Beebe Hosp and downtown historic Lewes. It is only 4 miles from Cape Henlopen State Park and the Cape-May Lewes ferry. You only need to travel 8 miles to the Rehoboth Beach boardwalk. The open houses were very busy with buyers who enjoyed the beauty of Paynter’s Mill. I have 3 units remaining from Schell Brothers and several pristine resales. Many folks were interested in the first time offering of having a semi custom home built by Schell Brothers on the 3 remaining lots in Paynter’s Mill. The construction of Lot 94 is to begin in late April with the Columbus model. Donna Davis, Ocean Atlantic Sotheby’s Int’l Realty will be hosting the open house today, 4/11 from 1-5. I’ll be at Harmon Bay in Rehoboth Beach. The hottest selling community in Rehoboth. With 19 of 32 homes sold since August 2009. Prices start at $289,900. Only 2 miles to the boardwalk. Let’s enjoy this beautiful spring day. There is only 20 left to take advantage of the Federal Tax Incentives. Don’t miss out! This is the time to buy. There are low home prices, low mortgage rates and incentives by seller, builders and tax credits.
