Description

Welcome to 23000 Springwood Circle, a stunning 7,200 square foot custom-built lakefront estate offering panoramic water views, timeless craftsmanship, and extraordinary comfort in the heart of Millsboro, Delaware. With 5 bedrooms, 4.5 bathrooms, and 4 garage bays situated on over an acre, this home is thoughtfully designed for multi-generational living, luxurious entertaining, and everyday relaxation—all set on a National Wildlife Federation Certified Wildlife Habitat that blends beautifully into its natural surroundings. From the moment you step inside, you'll notice the rich Brazilian cherry wood floors that flow throughout both levels, the grand curved staircase with hand-turned balusters, and the warm glow of an Arts and Crafts chandelier welcoming you into the home. A soaring two-story piano room creates an acoustically rich space, while the expansive family room features 24-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and sweeping 270-degree views of the lake through walls of glass and a newly installed Pella sliding door. The kitchen, remodeled in 2024, is a chef’s dream with radiant floor heating, distressed wood flooring, granite countertops, new appliances, and a deep ceramic sink. A spacious butler’s pantry with an Arctic Air commercial refrigerator adds function and convenience, while the adjacent grill room with a Jenn-Air indoor grill offers more lake views and an ideal setting for hosting. The first-floor primary suite is a private sanctuary with direct access to the hot tub and patio, a walk-in closet, and a luxurious ensuite bath featuring a walk-in shower and separate toilet room. Also on the main level, you’ll find a beautifully detailed powder room with a hand-carved Honduran door, a pool/exercise room with a 16-by-12-foot Endless Pool, and a large laundry room with built-in storage and Samsung appliances. Upstairs, three spacious guest bedrooms offer either lake views, private balconies, or ensuite features. A spa-inspired guest bathroom includes a freestanding soaking tub, rainfall shower with body jets, and radiant floor heating. The home theater is fully equipped with a 120-inch screen, BenQ projector, Bose sound system, and reclining theater seating. A sunlit library with custom built-ins overlooks the piano room below, perfect for quiet reading or working from home. A separate studio apartment with a full kitchen, bathroom, and private entrance provides excellent flexibility for in-laws, guests, or rental income. Step outside and you’ll find an outdoor living experience just as exceptional. The wraparound porch features a complete outdoor kitchen with granite countertops, a Kamado Joe smoker, a Cal Flame grill, and a sink—ideal for outdoor entertaining. A serene lakeside gazebo invites peaceful mornings, while the private sandy beach offers easy kayak launching. The property also includes a 15-by-9-foot greenhouse with a sink, an attached tool shed, and flourishing flower gardens curated to support bees, butterflies, and native pollinators. Certified by the National Wildlife Federation as a wildlife habitat, this property is a haven for both people and nature. Offering a rare blend of luxury, function, and ecological harmony, this extraordinary home is just minutes from downtown Millsboro and the Delaware beaches, yet feels like a private retreat far from it all.
