Property Description
Offered $40,000 Below Recent Appraised Value!
In the quiet Pine Acres neighborhood on the outskirts of Milford Center, this oversized, classic Cape Cod-styled residence sits as the welcoming matronly figure of the Pine Acres neighborhood. Seated with stately elegance on a 1.12-combined-acre corner and adjacent parcel, the home embodies the strength, beauty, and dignity of its earliest documented owner, the Honorable Carolyn Hommel Purdue, a Pike County District Magistrate who served her community for nearly three decades and was among the first women to hold that position in the county's history.
Beyond its welcoming exterior, which includes a brand-new front deck, hearty landscaped trees, and an arching stone chimney, the residence unfolds into an inviting collection of gracious living spaces, where timeless character and thoughtful improvements complement one another. A handsome wood-burning stone fireplace anchors the living area, lending warmth and architectural distinction, while recessed lighting, new flooring throughout, and recent kitchen, dining, and bathroom upgrades bring contemporary comfort to this classic home. Of the residence's three bedrooms, two are located on the main floor, with the third more privately tucked away on the second floor. An expansive finished basement provides additional living space, a separate room (currently used as a home gym area), and a large, well-ordered laundry room.
Off the kitchen is an adorable screened-in sunporch that invites leisurely mornings, quiet afternoons, and fun evenings spent enjoying the surrounding landscape. A detached garage and carport offer additional convenience, including yet another storage area. The swimming pool offers a delightful setting for summer recreation, complemented by a fenced backyard area and the generous expanse of the adjoining parcel. Together, these outdoor features create an atmosphere of comfort, privacy, and possibility. Yet perhaps one of the residence's most compelling distinctions is its exceptional location. Situated just beyond the boundaries of historic Milford Borough, the property enjoys convenient access to the borough's charming boutiques, restaurants, cultural attractions, and everyday amenities, while benefiting from lower Milford Township taxes and no homeowner's association. Less than a five-minute drive to I-84 and less than 10 minutes from the New York and New Jersey borders, its location offers a remarkable combination of small-town charm, regional accessibility, and the freedom of a property outside a planned residential community.
With its distinguished history, classic Cape Cod architecture, expansive living accommodations, and generous grounds, this residence offers an uncommon opportunity to enjoy the character of an established Milford home without sacrificing the conveniences of modern living.
Offered $40,000 below its recent independent appraised value of $430,000, the property presents a compelling opportunity for those who appreciate homes with architectural character, historical flavor, substantial space, and an enviable Milford location.
161 Pine Acres Lane is a remarkable Milford residence with a distinguished past and an inviting future - she beckons you "Come and make your home with me."
