About This Home

As of November 2024

Welcome to this unique property in the desirable North Wilmington area of Delaware. Situated on nearly 2.5 acres, this property boasts two distinct homes, offering endless possibilities for its new owner. The original house, House 1, presents an incredible opportunity for renovation and customization. With 3 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms, this spacious Mid-Century Modern home spans nearly 3,000 square feet with a floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace, a 2-story screened-in porch, and an attached greenhouse. Although it requires major structural repairs, the potential is limitless for those with a vision. On the other hand, House 2, known as the garage house, is move-in ready and showcases stunning original stone walls and exquisite woodwork throughout. This charming home features 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, including a generous main floor primary suite with a walk-in closet and a large full bathroom complete with a washer and dryer. Sliding glass doors lead to a covered patio and the backyard, allowing for seamless indoor-outdoor living. As you ascend to the upper level, you'll be greeted by an open-concept living room and dining room adorned with vaulted ceilings and abundant natural light. The sliding glass doors open to a deck, providing a tranquil space to unwind and enjoy the surrounding nature. The eat-in kitchen, conveniently adjacent to the living room, offers a pass-through window for picturesque views of the beautiful backyard, perfect for entertaining. With a center island, ample storage, and counter space, this kitchen is a chef's dream. A full bathroom and a second bedroom complete the upper level, ensuring comfort and privacy for all. The exterior of this property is a nature lover's paradise. With nearly 2.5 acres of serene natural beauty, it's a rare find in North Wilmington. The property is a certified natural wildlife habitat, featuring native landscaping that attracts local wildlife. The partially wooded area provides the perfect setting for observing nature's wonders. Additionally, the backyard boasts three ponds, further enhancing the property's natural allure. Conveniently located with easy access to Concord Pike and Naamans Road, this property offers a quick commute into Wilmington or Philadelphia. Shopping and dining options are just moments away, ensuring that all your needs are met. Whether you're looking for a large family compound or an opportunity to generate income through Airbnb, this property has it all. Embrace the potential and create your own oasis in North Wilmington.
