1005 Westover Rd Wilmington, DE 19807

1005 Westover Road is a picturesque Tudor in the heart of Westover Hills. It is the most classic home you can imagine in an idyllic location. This architecture began in England when Craftsmen built sophisticated two-toned manor homes with a combination of both Renaissance and Gothic design. This Tudor revival is certainly a residence for a lifetime, rich in history and sophistication. The home is grand yet exceedingly livable and comfortable, with the perfect balance of original details and modern amenities. It has both curb appeal and is situated with privacy on the property. Walking towards the front door to enter, the extraordinary materials used become evident, the rich red-toned brick, the ornate cement, the terracotta roof, all reminiscent of days when details were hand forged and made to last. Enter into the classic foyer which continues the traditional style with arches, iron, stone and wood. The fi­rst floor features a large living room, stately windows that flood sunlight and large baseboards with panel molding. The living room connects to a lovely, full window sunroom that looks off to a brick paver patio. The sunroom is heated and includes shutters and slate flooring. The fi­rst floor also includes a classic sitting room/office with exquisite built-ins and a charming half bath. The large renovated kitchen was designed by Susan Komins with high end cabinetry, multiple built-ins and top-of-the-line chefs’ appliances. The kitchen’s most incredible feature is the terracotta floor that was removed from a French chateau and skillfully installed in this wonderful room. There is a first floor laundry room adjacent to the kitchen, as well as a charming mudroom entrance off of the driveway. There are back steps to the second floor. The upstairs has two additional levels. The second floor has 4 gracious bedrooms with ample closets, 3 bathrooms and every bit of charm that is found in the first level. The third floor has 2 bedrooms, one of which is a 2 bedroom suite, a full bath and a walk-in attic. The property has a private, fenced in-ground pool that is artfully placed so that it doesn’t impede the use of the full large yard. Lovingly maintained, it is awaiting the residents who will continue with its story.
