About This Home
As of January 2019This spectacular, 5-bedroom, 4/2-bath home is located in a highly desirable North Wilmington neighborhood. A rare find in this area, this expertly renovated 4,300-square foot gem sits on a 0.30-acre, corner lot. The mid-century modern vibe of this two-story knock-out has been refreshed and revived ? inside and out! The second-floor terrace has a custom-built glass railing, solar-powered accent lighting, and teak flooring. An open-concept Living Room, Dining Room, and Kitchen comprise the main living area, with TONS of natural light and new/refinished, hardwood floors throughout. The Kitchen features solid wood, soft-close cabinets with under-cabinet lighting, quartz countertops, and SS appliances, including a wine fridge. The Living Room has a wood-burning fireplace, with dramatic, floor-to-ceiling accent tile. The 1st and 2nd floor Master Bedrooms (one of which could be used as an in-law suite) have custom-built, walk-in closets. The spa-like Master Baths are large and luxurious with free-standing tubs and glass enclosed showers with rain shower heads, body jets, and hand-held sliders. Three other Bedrooms (1 has a walk-in closet; another has an en suite) are spacious with generously sized closets. Laundry is conveniently located on the 2nd floor (and in the basement). The finished basement is ENORMOUS, with plush carpeting, separate media and bar areas, and powder room. It is a great entertaining space! This worry-free home has a new, 30-year, architectural shingled roof, and all major systems have been REPLACED, including plumbing, electric, and HVAC. While this magnificent home is in a quiet neighborhood and far from busy streets, it is within walking distance to Bellevue Park, high-quality schools, restaurants, shopping, and entertainment. It is conveniently located between I-95 and I-495 and is only minutes from an Amtrak/SEPTA train station, providing for easy commutes to Philadelphia, New York, and Baltimore/Washington, DC. The seller is a Licensed DE real estate agent but is not the listing agent. Showing begin Sunday 1:00 at open house.
