About This Home

As of September 2021

Nestled in the heart of the Village of Centreville on .57 private, non-development acres sits this well maintained 3 bed, 2.5 bath, 3,625 sf home. Built in 1954 & more than tripled in size in 2002, the welcoming design seamlessly integrates the old with the new. It is partial open concept with split bedrooms, main floor laundry & large walk-up attic. On the lower level are 2 private oversized 2-car garages, each with 220 V outlets for your electric car, & a potential 4th bedroom/in-law/office/workout room. Great attention was paid to every detail, & improvements have continued throughout the years including an electric driveway gate, porcelain wood look tile on the lower level, & a tongue & groove ceiling in the kitchen/great room. Some 2021 upgrades are fresh paint inside & out, a new zone 2 HVAC, & a new septic system. Other notable features are cathedral & vaulted ceilings, hardwood & tile flooring throughout, two-sided gas fireplace, marble & granite counters, 42” uppers with etched glass fronts & custom tile backsplash in the kitchen, crown molding, wood plantation shutters, tiled showers, dual master vanities and walk-in closets, standing seam copper front porch roof, gutters, & downspouts, 40 year architectural roof & Andersen low-e windows, all with screens & grilles. Fypon columns, brackets, & gable ends add character & prevent rot. Outdoor features include beautiful but easily maintained landscaping with a stone walled pond, covered porch, open patio & courtyard in the front, & a deck, patio with hot tub, & potting shed with phone, electric, & cable in the rear. Owner was the Greenville Country Club grounds manager for 35 plus years, & the quality & pride exhibited there is evident here as well. HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED, good through Aug 3, 2022. Easy access to I-95 & Wilmington train station. Walk out the back to Buckleys or up to the Centreville Cafe.
