About This Home

As of March 2025

Welcome to this charming older farmhouse, nestled on an exceptional 1.44-acre lot, just a stone's throw away from the University of Delaware. Currently set up as a duplex, this property offers a fantastic opportunity to create a single-family home or explore its potential for other uses. The house, while requiring some attention, is full of character and offers plenty of space for those with a vision to bring it back to its full potential. The large, open lot provides ample room for outdoor activities, gardening, or future expansions, making it a rare find in such a prime location. The seller is offering this property as-is and invites prospective buyers to do their own research regarding the possible uses for both the house and the land. Whether you're looking to restore a piece of history or explore other possibilities, this farmhouse is a unique opportunity not to be missed. Please see agent remarks for additional information.
