About This Home

538 Mills Road

Wake up to the beauty of Broad Creek, where breezes carry across the water and views stretch to Tar and Gideon Creeks. This elevated three-bedroom residence offers the perfect blend of thoughtful design, comfort, and flexibility—inviting you to relax, entertain, and make the most of coastal living. Set high on a raised building pad above the floodplain, the home offers peace of mind, requires no flood insurance, and delivers scenic waterviews. The property spans 1.2 acres total, with an extra lot—ideal for a guest cottage. On the ground level, a paved drive leads to the oversized two-car garage with more than 1,600 square feet of enclosed space. This level also includes a heated studio area and an adjoining storage room—perfect for hobbies. A full-length covered patio extends across the back, offering a shady spot for projects or entertaining. Upstairs, expansive porches—including a 36' x 9' screened porch—invite you to savor the views and breezes. French doors from the living room and all bedrooms provide direct porch access, creating seamless indoor-outdoor flow. A Quadra-Fire wood stove warms the living room on winter nights, hardwood floors add warmth and charm, and the kitchen shines as the home's centerpiece with abundant cabinetry, generous counters, a built-in office nook, and newer appliances—dishwasher, stove, and refrigerator all replaced within the past two years. The primary suite is a private retreat, filled with natural light and spacious enough for a reading or music area, complete with a luxurious ensuite bath. Two additional bedrooms, a full bath, and a convenient laundry room round out the floor plan. Recent updates include a roof replacement (2018), HVAC system (2021), and a premium Kinetico water softener with reverse osmosis. This property combines elevated design, versatile living spaces and waterview beauty- all with the confidence of no flood insurance required.
