About This Home
As of October 2022Welcome to 189 North Star Road. This beautifully renovated 1890’s farmhouse offers the best of both worlds; historic charm and warm custom details combined with contemporary features and top of the line materials. All of this, tucked amidst a gorgeous 1.3 acres of land with a stream and backing to 34 acres of protected woodlands. Highlights of this unique home include the original pine floors on both levels, wood-burning fireplace, remodeled kitchen and baths, custom window treatments, and rich wood detailing throughout. Step inside to the living room and dining room on either side of the foyer. Gorgeous heart pine floors and crown molding extend throughout both spaces and enjoy the granite surround wood-burning fireplace in the living room for those chilly months. Flow into the open kitchen and family room; the ideal configuration for your everyday routine. This kitchen is lovely with 42-inch antique white cabinets, granite countertops, tile backsplash, stainless steel appliances, and counter seating which extends into the family room with recessed lighting and custom window treatments. From your main living space, step outside to the covered deck to grill, dine, relax, and enjoy your natural surroundings.
The beautiful wood floors extend upstairs, where you will find all 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths including the spacious primary suite with vaulted ceiling, recessed lighting, charming plantation shutters, and renovated primary bath with granite double vanity and limestone tile flooring. The full basement offers plenty of storage and an existing workshop (included), and valuable bonus features of this home include dual HVAC units, Pella windows, brand new dishwasher, and newer washer/dryer. The original post and beam barn on this property not only showcases the history here, but offers endless potential limited only by your imagination. Ideally located close to everything this area has to offer including downtown Newark and University of Delaware, Hockessin, Kennett Square, Wilmington, and so much more!
