About This Home
As of June 2026Set in the Forest Gate Community, 27 Forest Gate Lane blends modern comfort and tranquility with the convenience of being minutes from everything that matters. This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath end-unit was originally designed as the community’s model home and enjoys a premium lot and added privacy. A freshly finished driveway and manicured surroundings create a strong first impression, while inside, hardwood floors and a soaring ceiling deliver immediate impact. The kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring quartz countertops, a gas range, and updated appliances. Natural light pours in through expansive windows and sliding doors, leading to an outdoor space designed for both relaxation and entertaining. The new Trex® deck and paver patio provide the perfect setting to unwind after a long day with family or friends. The main level is completed with a remodeled powder room, a walk-in pantry/mudroom, and the main living area featuring a 20-foot ceiling. Upstairs, you are greeted by three bedrooms and a remodeled full bathroom located off the main hallway. The primary suite offers a walk-in closet and an updated bathroom featuring a glass-enclosed walk-in shower, dual vanities, and a quartz countertop. A full basement and an attached garage complete the home, offering options for both storage and future potential. Location is what truly separates this property from its peers. Positioned just minutes from I-95, you are afforded easy access to downtown Wilmington, the Philadelphia airport, and Philadelphia proper. You are equally close to nature and the lifestyle amenities that make this property so desirable. Spend weekends exploring Brandywine Creek or Bellevue State Parks, and enjoy nearby dining favorites like Kid Shelleen’s, Nick’s Pizza, or Snuff Mill for that special occasion. This is the rare combination of privacy, convenience, and thoughtful upgrades that stands out in today’s market.
