About This Home

As of May 2013

This architectural landmark has graced the history of Wilmington for 100 years. Located across the street from Rockford Park, this home has piqued the interest of many dog walkers and runners for decades. Enter the bright and spacious foyer flanked by the Dining Room with Dark Oak Coffered Ceilings, built-in shelves, wood burning fire-place and a huge bow window and 20x30 LR with similar finishings. It took over 2 years to build this sprawling beauty and no details were missed! From the 9 bedrooms and 8.2 baths to the mill-work, built-ins, 4 fire-places, bow windows, porches, solarium, patios, walk-out basement, wine room, elevator (to all 4 floors), this home continues to impress. Above the 2-car garage, there is a private 1 bedroom/1 bath apartment. The horseshoe driveway finishes this corner lot estate!
