About This Home

As of November 2025

Welcome to this exceptional home nestled on a private corner lot in the highly desirable neighborhood of The Highlands. Enjoy the convenience of being within walking distance to Rockford Park, the Brandywine River, the Delaware Art Museum, and several local playgrounds. The vibrant shopping and dining scene in Trolley Square is also just a short stroll away.
This magnificent 6-bedroom, 3.1-bathroom home offers approximately 5,900 square feet of living space and is brimming with character, charm, and modern updates. As you approach, you’ll be greeted by a covered front porch — the perfect spot to unwind and watch the sunset.
Inside, you’ll be welcomed by a grand entry foyer with beautifully refinished random-width hardwood floors. The spacious living room, featuring a wood-burning fireplace, crown molding, built-in cabinets, and intricate trim work, offers a warm and inviting space. The large family room is ideal for entertaining, flooded with natural light from expansive floor-to-ceiling windows and skylights. It’s complete with a stone fireplace, built-ins, a vaulted ceiling, ceiling fans, and exposed beams.
The family room flows seamlessly into the kitchen, which connects to an office area with additional built-in cabinets and a desk. Just off the kitchen is a welcoming dining room, perfect for gatherings. The first-floor laundry and mudroom provide easy access to the garage, yard, and a spacious private deck.
Upstairs, the main bedroom is a luxurious retreat with a large vanity, a jacuzzi tub, a towel warmer, and a walk-in shower featuring four shower heads and a tile bench. Three additional generously sized bedrooms are located on the second floor, along with a unique sunroom or office space overlooking the front of the home.
The third floor features a princess suite, two additional bedrooms, and ample storage space. The updated bathrooms throughout add to the home’s appeal, and the four-zone HVAC system ensures year-round comfort. Outside, the private lot offers a lovely outdoor living space, perfect for entertaining or family gatherings. A two-car garage with loft storage rounds out this home’s many features. With an updated roof, heating system, and hot water, this is truly an excellent place to call home.
