About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to 14 E. Commerce Street and historic downtown Smyrna. Experience timeless elegance in this beautifully preserved historic home nestled in the heart of Smyrna. This home is believed to have been built circa 1802 as displayed on the original date plaque, making this residence one of Smyrna’s oldest and most cherished landmarks. County records list 1900 as the “year built,” the default for Delaware homes constructed before 1900. This two-story brick single family home offers historic character with updated amenities. Featuring: pine hardwood floors throughout, walk-in kitchen pantry, and a cedar closet in attic. The main level consists of a living room, formal dining room, an updated kitchen, and powder room. The second level has two actual bedrooms with a pass-through room which is used as the third bedroom and a full bath. All of this is located just steps from Main Street shops, cafés, and restaurants, this home delivers small-town charm with easy access to major commuter routes, Dover, and northern Delaware.
