Set on over half an acre in Millsboro, this beautifully updated residence pairs mature trees and established landscaping with a layout designed for both privacy and flexibility. Inside, luxury vinyl plank flooring, custom wall molding, upgraded doors, and abundant natural light bring warmth and character throughout. The kitchen keeps things bright and timeless with quartz countertops, top-tier appliances, and a coordinating eat-in island that’s as practical as it is polished. In the main living area, vaulted ceilings and exposed beams frame a stone gas fireplace, while a wall of windows looks out to the backyard. A fully renovated main-level bathroom adds crisp detailing with floor-to-ceiling shiplap and a spacious walk-in shower with a rainfall head. A detached guest house—complete with a permitted full bath, bedroom area, living space, and kitchenette—extends the home’s everyday possibilities, complemented by a cedar pergola, paved patio, irrigation system, and two-car garage. Nearby beaches, marinas, and dining set the tone for easy weekends.

Originally built in 1863, “The Village Potter’s House” offers a rare slice of New Market’s Historic District, where preserved character meets creative possibility. Original architectural details and warm wood floors set a lived-in, storied tone, while a thoughtfully remodeled kitchen introduces an artist’s sensibility with a custom potter-designed backsplash and imported Spanish tile. Sunflowers blooming throughout the home echo the welcoming, handmade spirit that has shaped it for generations. With three bedrooms and one and a half baths, the layout balances everyday comfort with a sense of history at every turn. Residential/commercial zoning adds flexibility, and a detached carriage house and studio opens the door to a gallery, workshop, or studio/retail showcase. It’s a place where daily life feels intentional—rooted in the past, yet ready for what you’ll make next.
