About This Home

This 5BR, 4.1 bath 3-story stone colonial home mixes old world charm with all of the luxuries of modern living and offers over 4,800 sqft of living space. Tucked away on a quiet street, this private lot affords the seclusion rarely attained in city living. Step into the gracious center hall foyer where you are greeted by beautiful hardwood floors that flow throughout the entire house. To the right, find the large formal living room with wood-burning fireplace. Continue through the double doorways to the sunroom with custom built-ins and walls of windows allowing for ample light. This leads into a bar area and adjacent desk space, storage closets and powder room as well as French doors to the side yard. To the left of the foyer is a private office. Off of the foyer is the formal dining room – perfect for entertaining. This leads to the updated eat-in kitchen with high-end appliances including 6-burner Dacor range and Sub-zero fridge, granite counters and large functional island. Off of the kitchen sits the massive family room with vaulted ceiling and built-in cabinetry. Adding ambiance to this impressive room is the two-story Palladian window bathing the room in natural light. Two sets of French doors open to the brick patio. Heading up the classic staircase, find the generously-sized primary suite with his and hers walk-in closets and large en-suite with claw-foot tub, walk-in shower and laundry. Completing this level are two additional bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath. The third floor is made up of two more bedrooms and a hall bath as well as a large walk in storage space with cedar closet and additional attic space. The stunning Southwest facing yard has been well maintained and features mature trees, finely manicured landscaping and brick patio. The thoughtfully placed privacy trees offer a sense of solitude. Sit on the patio and listen to the birds sing and feel miles away from the city atmosphere! A driveway leads to a 2-car garage with covered walkway to the side entrance of the house. Enjoy the serenity of this private oasis while enjoying all of the walkability of city living with immediate access to Trolley Square, Rockford Park, Downtown Wilmington, Greenville and all that the area has to offer.
