1621 N Franklin St Wilmington, DE 19806

Welcome to 1621 North Franklin Street, a meticulous classic townhouse set on a picturesque street nestled between the Brandywine River and the heart of Trolley Square. The front paver patio calls you to relax and enjoy the seasons of city life, greeting passersby. Once inside, your senses will enjoy the wonderful finished materials and textiles that blend old world sophistication with modern amenities including decorative tin ceilings, crown molding and baseboards, stone walls and glass block windows. The main open living area boasts 9' ceilings, pegged oak wood floors, a brick gas fireplace with marble mantle and turned staircase. Plenty of space to entertain and showcase your personal design style with furnishings and artwork. Enter the front sun room through a duo of original French doors with blown glass, where you can cozy up and binge watch the final season of GOT, or perhaps you prefer to read the best-selling book series that started it all "A Song of Ice and Fire" by George R.R. Martin. The dining room is spacious and bright with crown molding and fluted columns. Large enough for a farmhouse table, and flexible enough for modern indoor and outdoor living space. The custom atrium door with Pella windows lets the natural light shine, opening to the extra-large deck. An open galley kitchen features stainless appliances, granite counters and breakfast bar. Deciding whether to cook or not is a benefit of city living with many eateries within walking distance and delivery at the touch of an app, the choice is yours! There is also a first- floor powder room. Upstairs you will notice the authentic character that has lovingly been maintained in the original Carolina pine hardwood floors and transom windows over the bedroom doors with vintage hardware and glass door knobs. The master bedroom features a wall of closets and custom blinds. All bedrooms have new windows, and ceiling fans. The basement is partially finished and separates from an area perfect for that office or home gym to a second area for a workshop or storage area complete with a vintage double sink and second power room. You can walk out back from this level where you will enjoy a private parking pad that can accommodate two cars. The entire electric has been rewired including smoke detectors (2016). Additional improvements include new boiler (2014), roof (2013), windows (2014), and professional landscaping. Schedule your tour to see this Trolley Treasure for yourself!
