About This Home

As of January 2024

Fantastic Opportunity for Renovation in Downtown Christiana! This charming Cape Cod (previously a 2-bedroom, 1-bath) sits on a deep 0.61-acre lot, offering endless possibilities for transformation. Stripped down to its core, the interior is a blank canvas, waiting for you to breathe new life into this home. The property features a 2-car detached garage, providing ample space for parking or potential workshop needs. A pump house adds to the character of the lot, and a welcoming front porch invites you to envision relaxing evenings enjoying the neighborhood atmosphere. Inside, the home boasts a finished attic, which may provide a possibility of additional living space, a third bedroom, office, or recreation area. Situated in the heart of downtown Christiana, this property is conveniently located between shopping centers and the Christiana Mall, offering easy access to major roads and many local amenities, shops, and dining options. The generous lot size provides a rare opportunity for home or outdoor expansion and a backdrop for a variety of uses or projects. With its stripped interior and ample space, this property is an ideal project for those looking to customize and make their vision a reality in a prime downtown location. Don't miss the chance to turn this Cape Cod gem into a unique and personalized investment that perfectly suits your needs. Buyer to complete their own due diligence for any commercial zoning change or lot split possibilities. The mowed pathway in the rear is on this lot. Property is not on the historical register. The Owner’s intentions were to fully renovate and expand w/an addition, but their plans suddenly changed midstream due to personal reasons. The opportunity still exists for you! CASH OFFERS or PRIVATE FINANCING ONLY. PROPERTY IS IN CHRISTIANA DELAWARE Near Christiana Mall, Firehouse, Christiana Town Center. Some GPS will try to tell you it is near UofD but it is not.
