Historic Greek Revival Estate with Income Potential | Coastal Access, Estate Scale, and Modern Flexibility - This Property is being SOLD AS IS
A rare opportunity to own a circa-1840 Greek Revival estate, thoughtfully restored and maintained, offering a unique combination of timeless architectural character and modern functionality.
Set on approximately 2.3 landscaped acres in the heart of Camden, Kent County, this distinctive property reflects a comprehensive restoration that preserves historic integrity while supporting a wide range of contemporary uses. Originally constructed with classic craftsmanship and architectural presence, the home underwent significant improvements in 2006, including structural updates, exterior restoration, geothermal HVAC installation, electrical and plumbing upgrades, and thoughtful reconfiguration of interior spaces, alongside preservation of original woodwork and detailing.
The result is a property that blends historic significance with operational flexibility, offering estate-scale living rarely found at comparable price points within the Northeast corridor.

Existing arrangements are primarily year-to-year; buyers are encouraged to perform their own due diligence regarding future use, occupancy, and income potential.

Classic Greek Revival proportions Original millwork and fireplaces Grand central staircase Generous ceiling heights and natural light throughout Wraparound porch and well-proportioned interior spaces
