About This Home

As of November 2024

This well-maintained, 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom brick row home in Trolley Square is a great opportunity! Stapler Place is a coveted, quiet tree-lined street. This house has beautiful hardwood floors, has been freshly painted in the dining room and the living room which features a charming arched doorway. You can roll up your sleeves to renovate the galley kitchen, creating an updated space that reflects your style. Upstairs there are two bedrooms with closets, and a full bathroom. The low-maintenance backyard is perfect for hanging out or al fresco dining. The basement offers plenty of room for storage and is where the washer and dryer are located. A hot water heater was recently installed and the air conditioning and heating unit was replaced in 2013. From your front door, you can easily walk to restaurants, shops and parks. You also have easy access to major routes, downtown Wilmington, the train station, museums and top-rated horticulture destinations. This is one of the few non-apartment and non-condo options under $300,000 in 19806 and it won’t last long!
