About This Home
As of August 2017This classic 3 story Dutch colonial is located in Wawaset Park, one of the most charming and desirable neighborhoods in Wilmington. It has been extensively updated over recent years, but still maintains its original character and beauty. As you enter into the large entrance hall, you will be impressed with the beautiful hardwood floors that extend through the entire house. The spacious living room has a fireplace, and is adjacent to a large den or office lined with windows. The extra large dining room, with a bay window, is perfect for large family holiday dinners. A previous owner expanded and renovated the kitchen in 2005 adding HW floors, white cabinets, granite counters and an island. The present owner just installed all new SS kitchen appliances (including a Bosch dishwasher) to modernize the look and functionality of the kitchen. There are 3 large bedrooms and a laundry area on the 2nd floor, and 2 more bedrooms on the 3rd floor. They don't build them like this anymore, complete with beautiful woodwork, a classic gambrel roof and an eyebrow dormer window. Other recent updates include a new Weil-McLean hot water heating system that was installed in 2013 when the current owner converted the home from oil heat to natural gas, 2nd floor hall bath with heated floor in 2016, and a 1st floor powder room in 2016. The back yard is very large for a city home; it is open, fenced in, and provides good space to play and to relax. Off street parking is present in the one car garage and large driveway. A 2-10 Home warranty is included with this exceptional home. Come see it today.
