About This Home

As of March 2020

Happy Valley is one of the top places to live in downtown Wilmington. 1511 N. Adams provides a wonderful opportunity to own a charming updated home that has retained many beautiful original features. Extensive renovations were completed in the fall of 2014. When you enter this home, you will immediately appreciate the details. From the beautiful hardwood floors to the built-in alcoves with accent lights, this home has both character and style. Enter through the brick archway to the custom kitchen, where you will find beautiful Mid-Continent cabinets with soft- close drawers. The stainless-steel appliances include a five-burner gas cooktop, an electric wall oven, a dishwasher and a refrigerator. The kitchen also features a ceramic-tile floor, silestone quartz countertops, recessed lighting, a bar seating area and an exposed brick wall. Other benefits include a partially enclosed brick courtyard giving the outside space a European feel. Adding string lights would make it perfect for entertaining! The outside wall was painted and retaining wall repaired. Upstairs is a large master with vaulted ceilings, a ceiling fan, extra windows (this home is on the end of the row) and a walk-in closet. There is an updated bathroom with a pocket door, tub with a glass sliding door and a tile floor. There is a second bedroom with built-in shelves, a pocket door, exposed bricks and a large walk-in cedar closet. There is also access to a balcony overlooking Happy Valley. There is a clean functional basement for laundry and storage. In addition to the kitchen renovation ($36,000), the following improvements have been made:*New roof 2018 (complete tear-off) with a 10-year warranty ($6,500)*New HVAC system 2014 with a 12-year warranty ($7,300)*New 150-amp electrical panel 2014 and additional lighting ($3,946)*New front brick sidewalk 2014 ($5,700)Other improvements include courtyard drainage and brick work, two new second-floor windows, new steel entry doors, painting throughout the house, new carpet and bathroom updates. This home is conveniently located with easy access to I-95. It is 1 block from Brandywine Park and a short walk to both downtown Wilmington and Trolley Square.
