About This Home

As of January 2022

Nestled above the Brandywine River behind the Delaware Art Museum, this home is one of a kind. Set in the natural landscape of the area, this contemporary home is welcoming to all! After enjoying the water feature and sitting area at the entrance, step up onto the Brandywine blue rock stone steps to enter the spacious and bright foyer with a Vermont slate floor. With cathedral ceilings, the main floor features a living room with three sets of sliding glass doors, a fireplace with a slate surround, a dining area, a sitting area, a large powder room with a wall-to-wall marble countertop, and renovated kitchen. A large deck spans the back of the home and a lovely screened-in porch is located on the side of the home creating a relaxing, outdoor experience. In the kitchen, enjoy the natural custom cherry cabinets crafted locally in N Wilmington, Costa Esmeralda granite countertops, a tiger maple island top, heart pine floors, bookshelves, and banquette making it an eat-in kitchen. Preparing food in this kitchen is a pleasure with Wolf cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, Wolf wall oven, Sharp microwave, Grohe faucet, Franke sink, and a Brisos stove vent. Step up a half flight into the expansive primary bedroom with three walk-in closets, natural views of the outside, and a renovated bathroom with granite countertops, dual vanity, walk-in shower with oversize tiles and two showerheads, and custom window plantation shutters. Move to the lower level to find two bedrooms, one with a walk-in cedar closet, a renovated full bath with a walk-in shower, and a foyer with a laundry closet with a utility sink. A truly unique feature of this property is the Yurt! Walk up the stone steps using the hand-forged railing to a Yurt that has a skylight, HVAC, a deck, and a view of Alapocas Run State Park. What a great space for an office, yoga studio, game room, music studio, or teen hangout! This home has amazing storage with a walk-in closet on the main floor, a partial unfinished area on the lower level, an exterior room under the screened-in porch that has electricity, and many closets throughout the home. The materials in this home are outstanding! From the hardwood floors and natural wood trim throughout to the river rock featured in the fireplace and lower bath to the marble and granite bath and kitchen countertops, this home blends the outside and inside together. Conveniently located in Rockford Park, one has easy access to downtown Wilmington, I-95, and Route 202 plus walking, hiking, and cycling in the area parks! This beautiful home is awaiting its next owners.
