About This Home

Welcome to 38 Read Street, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half-bath home in the heart of Seaford, Delaware. Ideally located near Hooper’s Landing Golf Course, the community pool, senior center, and local schools, this home combines comfort with convenience.

Inside, the main-level primary suite offers a spacious retreat with a large walk-in closet that conveniently includes the laundry. The flowing floor plan features multiple living areas, including a formal living room, family room, and office, along with a kitchen that boasts a walk-in pantry, breakfast nook, and dining area. Both levels are equipped with a half bath for added convenience. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a sitting area provide plenty of space for family and guests.

The exterior is just as inviting, featuring a fenced backyard with patios and lush landscaping. A one-car side-entry garage, detached one-car garage, and abundant off-street and on-street parking make this home as functional as it is attractive.

With its blend of comfort, thoughtful details, and a prime location, this gem is ready to welcome its next chapter.
