Description

This classic 1943 Colonial-style brick home preserves many of its original architectural features including solid-wood six-panel doors with glass knobs and brass plates, six-inch baseboards, period ceiling lights, hardwood floors, deep-set windows, and a hand-set tiled bathroom with ample built-in storage space and gently tinted spa paint.

Fantastic main-level renovations provide a fourth bedroom, a second full bathroom with walk-in stall shower; a huge 20 x 10 bonus room (originally a garage, could be converted back) with weather-friendly vinyl flooring, stationary tub, laundry area, custom built-in, and exterior and interior access points; and an equally impressive (21 12) family room with handsome, easy-care laminate flooring, custom built-ins, full-view doors, and vinyl replacement windows. A two-zone oil-fired boiler and hot-water heater (2007); air-conditioning, heat pump, security system, upgraded electrical service, and electric meter (2011); and cube-style oil tank (2013) complete the recent enhancements. Added features include a French drain and second laundry area in the unfinished basement and a spectacular walk-up, floored attic providing tons of additional storage space. Amazing highlights abound, although the home needs some attention. The kitchen layout is typical of houses of this design era but can easily be expanded to meet contemporary needs. Unusual for its time, this house now has an impressive amount of interior living space with nearly a half-acre lot of usable space for outdoor living. The exterior boasts a screened-in porch, a flagstone patio, an enclosed courtyard, a completely fenced backyard, and significant landscaping. This is a great opportunity for a serious buyer! The close proximity to 95, 495, Amtrak/SEPTA, Downtown Wilmington, the Riverfront, and all of Brandywine Hundred are additional reasons to make this intriguing property your new home.
