About This Home
As of December 2018Location, location, location? The location is the charming historic village of Old New Castle with a clear view of scenic Battery Park and the Delaware River. Just one and a half blocks to shops and restaurants in one direction and the sailing club and tennis courts in the other. Steps from an enjoyable stroll along the lovely two mile river walk. Location also means low annual taxes of $1,754 that include full city services. Circa 1880's, this home is move-in ready with a blend of old world craftsmanship and modern conveniences for comfortable living. First floor includes living and dining rooms in the original section of the house and a modern kitchen and family room in the rear addition. The second floor has two spacious bedrooms, a sun room with floor-to-ceiling casement windows and a full bath lit by a skylight. Each room has a beautifully crafted wood feature courtesy of a former resident's master carpentry skills. Lots of windows let in light and cool river breezes. Use the ceiling fans or the central air conditioning on warmer days. Get cozy in front of the family room fireplace to take the chill off of winter. It's a beautiful home to enjoy in every season.
