Search Milton, DE Homes for Sale with a Fireplace

Milton sits about ten miles inland from Lewes on the Broadkill River, and it offers something the beach towns cannot, a walkable nineteenth century town center at a different price point with the coast twenty minutes away. The historic district holds Victorian and early twentieth century houses with original masonry fireplaces, sometimes several per house. Outside the district, the newer communities along Route 16 and Route 5 carry gas fireplaces as a standard or upgrade feature. Bryce Lingo & Shaun Tull covers Milton alongside the coastal towns.
