About This Home

As of March 2026

Act now for your chance to own a non-development home on a rare 1-acre large corner lot, perfectly located between I-95 and Route 1. This property offers exceptional convenience to Christiana Mall, Christiana Hospital, and major shopping and dining, while also being within walking distance of Lums Pond State Park with its trails, dog park, camping, canoeing, kayaking, fishing, ziplining, and year-round recreation. Inside, the home features an open first-floor layout with a dual-sided fireplace connecting the family room and sunroom. The updated kitchen flows naturally into the living areas, and the expansive first-floor primary bedroom includes a large bathroom with a soaking tub and separate shower. The upper level offers two additional bedrooms and a full bath.
The finished basement adds even more versatility with a movie theater and outside entrance. Outside, enjoy a multi-level deck for entertaining, a large storage shed, and a spacious outbuilding with a loft that can be used for storage, hobbies, equipment, or workspace. A side-entry two-car garage completes the layout.
This property offers the perfect blend of land, location, comfort, and endless possibilities.
