A truly rare opportunity to own approximately 3.63 acres consisting of two contiguous parcels along highly traveled Route 24 (John J. Williams Highway), one of eastern Sussex County’s fastest-growing commercial corridors. Located less than five minutes from Route 1 and surrounded by significant residential and commercial growth, this unique offering combines exceptional visibility, accessibility, and long-term investment potential.

Whether you’re an investor, entrepreneur, owner-user, or someone seeking a one-of-a-kind live/work property, the possibilities here are extraordinary. Buyers may wish to explore Multi-Family, Commercial, or Conditional Use opportunities (subject to approvals), making this an exceptional opportunity for medical or professional offices, wellness services, boutique retail, personal services, contractor offices, mixed-use concepts, and other business ventures seeking prominent exposure in a rapidly expanding area.

The property includes a distinctive contemporary home offering three bedrooms, an open-concept floor plan, geothermal heating and cooling, and a private backyard complete with an in-ground pool surrounded by mature landscaping. An expansive front field creates an impressive setting while offering additional flexibility for future use.

Adding to the property’s appeal is the former glass-blowing studio, a truly unique structure featuring additional bedrooms and a bathroom on the upper level, creating incredible flexibility for studio space, offices, guest accommodations, creative pursuits, or future business opportunities.

Properties offering this combination of acreage, location, existing improvements, and future potential rarely become available. While the two parcels are listed separately in the MLS, they are being offered and sold together as one property. This represents one of the most unique investment and development opportunities to come to the open market in Sussex County in many years. Also listed under commerical -DESU2116598 .
