About This Home
As of June 2026Location, location, location, where a picture paints a thousand words! Timeless elegance meets everyday serenity in one of Wilmington’s most treasured enclaves. Tucked along the eastern edge of the city in the storybook setting of Wawaset Park, this remarkable residence offers a rare opportunity to live surrounded by rolling landscapes, architectural charm, and a true sense of place.
From the moment you arrive, there’s a feeling that this home was designed not just to be lived in—but to be experienced. Sunlight dances across its thoughtfully curated interiors, while each room unfolds with intention, blending classic character with modern comfort.
At the heart of the home, a chef-designed kitchen invites both quiet mornings and lively gatherings. Generous in scale and rich in function, it offers abundant storage and workspace; you name it this kitchen has it. Just beyond the dining area a radiant sunroom glows with natural light, a peaceful retreat where the outside world feels beautifully within reach.
The home’s living spaces are layered with warmth and sophistication. Hardwood and tile floors, gorgeous molding, some recessed lighting and built-in bookcases frame moments of stillness, while the dining and living rooms set the stage for memorable evenings filled with laughter and connection. Every corner feels both refined and welcoming.
Upstairs, the experience becomes truly special. Private decks extend from the master bedroom on the 2nd fl and the office, offering sweeping views of gently rolling golf course hills, a rare and calming backdrop that shifts with the seasons. Here, mornings begin with fresh air and quiet reflection, and evenings wind down with golden light stretching across the landscape.
With five spacious bedrooms, four full bathrooms and one-half bathroom, the home provides both comfort and privacy, effortlessly accommodating family and guests alike. Each space feels intentionally designed for rest, retreat, and renewal.
Step outside, and the lifestyle continues. A charming brick patio flows from the family room, perfect for effortless entertaining, while a separate outdoor sanctuary features a brand-new hot tub—a $18,000 indulgence designed for relaxation under the open sky. A new modernized irrigation system has been installed, so no more watering is needed.
Above the detached two-car garage, a finished bonus space offers boundless potential. Currently an artist’s studio, it inspires creativity while also presenting an opportunity for a private office, a gym, or even a home-based business with city approval. It’s a space where ideas can take shape and possibilities expand.
What truly sets this home apart is the balance it achieves, equally suited for vibrant gatherings and quiet moments, for celebration and reflection. All of this, just minutes from the best of Wilmington, yet tucked into a neighborhood that feels worlds away.
Take a nice walk to Rockford Park, the Delaware Art Museum, the Columbus Inn, shopping nearby, and easy access to major arteries and great schools.
It’s your chance. Call now!
