Upon arrival to the front of the house you will immediately see how lovingly maintained this home is. A paved front walkway welcomes you to the front door. Upon entry, you will find the spacious cozy living room with original hardwood floors and newer windows that allow lots of natural light to enter the home. The eat-in kitchen features stainless steel appliances, Corian countertops, and a breakfast bar. As you go up the first flight of stairs you'll find two bedrooms with ample closet space and a newly renovated and updated full bathroom and a linen closet in the hallway. As you go up the next flight of stairs, you'll find the owner's suite. In the hallway adjacent to this room you'll see a nice size closet and a crawl space with access from the owners suite. The basement is unfinished and waiting for your personal touches. The entire home has been freshly painted. The large backyard has a privacy fence with a shed. Located close to the University of Delaware, Main Street, shopping, and major highways, yet tucked away for peace and quiet. This charming Split-Level home is a must-see!
