About This Home

As of December 2022

Captivating ranch on Christiana Rd.! Just one turn away from Rt. 1, putting Newark, Wilmington, Dover and Philadelphia within an easy reach and Christiana Mall just minutes away, this red-brick 3BRs/1 Bath one-level living with 2 screened-in porches is tucked off of the main road and enveloped in a congregation of tall trees and privacy. Travel up the long driveway with 2 turn-around pads and parking for 7-plus cars to long screened-in side porch with natural wood-planked ceiling that faces wooded area and offers 3-season enjoyment. All-glass storm door and white wood door with gold scrolled enhanced glass open to gorgeous LR/FR. Light, highly polished hardwood floors accented with white wide baseboards and new dove gray paint are throughout. Stunning wall of white built-ins span the front wall and flank a triple window, while dual windows sit opposite each other on remaining walls. This room is drenched in natural light and truly delightful! Oversized entrance grants access to DR, where there is ample room for dining table, chairs and china closet. 2 single arched doorways reside at opposite ends in DR, one leads into the kitchen, while other entrance leads to bedroom wing. All 3 spacious BRS feature roomy closets, hardwoods, gray paint and natural light. Full bath is on-trend and charming with its driftwood flooring, 2 walls of ceramic tile with accent border of gray, charcoal and ivory, and white vanity where towels and toiletries can be easily stashed. Extra white wall cabinet is bonus storage! Eat-in kitchen in striking gray and white is beautiful. Modern white cabinets finished to the ceiling with pewter bar hardware and black/SS Samsung appliances are enhanced by gray/white subway tile backsplash and gray/black-flecked countertops. Dramatic contrast! Full pantry is bound to come in handy for storing snacks and canned good. Off kitchen enjoy access to a mud room and screened-in back porch with 2 doors, along with access to unfinished LL, where there is a W & D and lots of storage. Door in LL that leads up to screened-in back porch makes LL bright and light and combined with the room s generous proportions could easily be finished for a rec/exercise/game/play room. Both side and back porch offer perch to unwind and relish quiet setting. Backyard is nice-size with tall trees dotting the property and a quaint shed, perfect for outside equipment storage. Convenience and charm go hand in hand in this upscale, remarkable move-in ready ranch!
