About This Home

As of April 2024

This two bedroom, two bathroom single-family home rests in the 55-plus community of Planters Run
and is conveniently located in the heart of Delaware’s capital city.

If you want to get out of the city, Delaware’s main urban area of Wilmington is just a short drive to the
north and the beautiful and award-winning Delaware beaches are just to the south via Delaware Route
1.

Boasting nearly 1,300-square-feet of living space and an open concept model, features of this central
Delaware home include cathedral ceilings in the living area, a spacious master bedroom with walk-in
closet, a one-car garage with additional space for storage and an abundance of natural light that
constantly fills the home.

The open kitchen is a great space for congregating after a hard day and having a little down time while
preparing a delicious home-cooked meal.

Planters Run features maintenance-free living, with trash service, snow removal and common
maintenance taken care of by the community’s Homeowner’s Association.

Why wait another day? Check out this home in Delaware’s state capital region today.
