About This Home

As of March 2025

Unique yet traditional Cape style home on one of the premier streets in Kent County. Refined features throughout, plus lush opportunities for the gardener in the backyard. The covered front porch ushers you into a traditional center hall foyer with formal dining room to the left and formal living to the right. Built in shelves, cabinets, and traditional trim complement the classic feel. At the back of the first floor is a charming and cozy family room with fireplace that opens to the large kitchen with ample cooking and storage space. The family room and kitchen also features wide plank pine floors reclaimed from over 120 years ago! Step out onto the sunroom for more year round living space flooded with natural light and overlooking the stunning backyard. Numerous manicured beds and plantings are a gardeners dream, while mature trees provide shade and ambiance. The second floor features 4 spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The primary suite has a beautifully renovated en-suite bath with walk-in tiled shower- beautifully designed to bring modernity but blend seamlessly with the classic feel of the home. The timeless style and quality of construction is evident throughout.
