About This Home

As of July 2023

Welcome to Richards Alley; one of Wilmington's best kept secrets. This little gem of a community was designed by the innovative architect, Richard Chalfant. He is also responsible for the Hamilton House, Superfine condominiums and many custom-built homes in Greenville, Chadds Ford and other areas throughout the Brandywine Valley. 1304 Richards Alley offers 3 floors of living space and updates galore throughout the entire home; all new doors, handles and hinges, light fixtures, fresh neutral paint, updated kitchen and baths, etc. The 1st floor features a bedroom and the laundry room/multipurpose room - let your imagination run wild with all of the possibilities of what this space could be. A work out room, storage room or perhaps space to add a second full bath. As you head up the stairs and enter onto the main floor, you are welcomed by an open concept living space with beautiful hardwood floors. To the left is the powder room and kitchen. Both have been recently updated in 2022. The kitchen features a generously sized pantry, all new appliances, new cabinets and counter tops, new backsplash and new light fixtures. As you leave the kitchen, you enter into the dining/living spaces. The fireplace facing was updated in 2022, along with fresh paint throughout. In the living room the arching windows allow for loads of natural light to pour through and lovely views of the deck. Upon entering the 3rd floor, you will notice the recently installed bamboo flooring throughout the hallway and through both bedrooms. To the right is the generously sized primary bedroom with ample closet space and a new light fixture. The 3rd bedroom and a beautifully updated full bathroom (updated in 2022) also completes this level. This charming home has its own parking space enclosed by handsome wrought iron gates. Just a few blocks from shops, cafes, restaurants, and parks. With quick access to all major road ways, the Philadelphia Airport and Wilmington Train Station.
Seller is moving due to sudden notice of work relocation. Updates throughout home were completed with the intention that she would be living here for a while.
