About This Home
As of August 2014Grand 2-story single family home with an all-brick exterior, new roof '08, and fantastic fenced rear yard beckons a closer look. A gracious front porch with wrought iron railings ushers you into the home where you are greeted by an elegant wood staircase and hardwood floors that flow throughout much of the first floor. Large living room has a brick fireplace, adjacent powder room, and many windows. Extending the living space is the gorgeous sunroom filled with natural light. This bonus room has three walls of windows, a beadboard ceiling, and was created by enclosing part of the front porch. Formal dining room offers ample entertaining space and a ceiling fan. Retro country kitchen has a huge vintage porcelain sink with built-in double drainboards, updated countertops and stainless steel refrigerator, gas range, and door to rear yard. The hardwood floors continue upstairs into all three of the bedrooms. A surprisingly spacious master bedroom has two closets and a ceiling fan. Two additional bedrooms (one with a ceiling fan), big hall linen closet, and a hall bath with updated tub surround, vanity, and mirror complete the second floor. Basement is an ideal bonus space partitioned off from the laundry and utility areas with an outside entrance. Completely fenced rear yard '06 is open and level with mature trees for summer shade. The yard is accessible from kitchen, walk-out basement, or side yard gate. Convenient city location is just a short walk from nearby parks and offers Brandywine School District feeder pattern. Commuting is easy with quick access to I-95/495 and minutes to downtown Wilmington.
