About This Home

As of October 2021

Investor Alert! Once stately manor house built in 1841, The Gardiner Wright Mansion, is looking for a special buyer who loves restoring historical properties. This is the last existing home in Delaware built in the Regency style with Second Empire Italianate elements. Home sits on one and a half mature acres near the heart of the County Seat and could make an amazing Bed and Breakfast, prestigious law offices or a stately residence. Bring your imagination. Home has eight fireplaces, a dramatic first floor layout with large parlor, formal dining room, sunroom, butlers pantry, family kitchen and access to staff living quarters above the garage. Upstairs are four well-sized bedrooms and three full bathrooms. PROPERTY is being Sold “AS IS” and is livable in its current condition. Tennant occupied, on a month to month basis. Exceptional price reflects its value as an historical home with additional potential when renovated. Call Co Listing agent to discuss or to arrange a showing.
