About This Home
As of July 2021Classic design meets modern style in this beautiful brick townhouse tucked on a quiet tree-lined street in the heart of Trolley Square! Walk up the brick stairway to the front door, where fresh landscaping and charming curb appeal welcome you. Enter the spacious living room, which is filled with natural light and offers plenty of space to entertain. The arched doorway opens to the dining room featuring large windows, hardwood floors, and custom molding, ready for dinner plans and hosting holiday gatherings. Granite countertops and stainless steel appliances add modernity to the galley kitchen with solid wood cabinets, tile floors, and the perfect built-in niche for a coffee or wine bar. Wood stairs with original details lead upstairs, which features hardwood floors throughout both bedrooms and the landing. The primary bedroom offers large windows with custom blinds, a ceiling fan, and a walk-in closet. The second bedroom is spacious enough for a complete bedroom set or could be utilized as a private home office. Stone floors and bright white features add a contemporary touch to the full bathroom, which offers a tub shower and updated lighting. Downstairs, the basement offers abundant storage, side-by-side laundry, a utility sink, and easy access to the recently updated major systems. This move-in ready home exudes all of the character of a quintessential Trolley Square home while offering contemporary amenities throughout, including updated vinyl windows, central air conditioning, recently updated Carrier furnace (fully converted from oil to natural gas!), & Bradford White hot water heater. Plus, just in time for warm weather, don't miss the fully-fenced, no maintenance back patio, perfect for BBQs and summer fun! Located just a short walk from Trolley Square's top pubs, restaurants, and shopping, including Kid Shelleen's, Trolley Square Oyster House, and The Kelly Logan House, this home is in one of Wilmington's most desirable locations. Enjoy living just minutes from Delaware's most sought after outdoor recreation areas, such as Rockford Park, the rose garden and zoo at Brandywine Park, and hiking to the waterfall at Alapocas Run State Park.
