About This Home

As of December 2024

Welcome to this inviting 3-bedroom, 1-bath semi-detached home nestled in the heart of Christiana Borough. As you step inside, you'll notice that the living room, currently used as a home office, provides ample natural light and space for relaxation. Adjacent to the living room is a designated dining area, perfect for family meals and entertaining. The kitchen boasts updated countertops and cabinets as well as a vintage sink and functional island. Hardwood floors lie beneath the carpets throughout the main level, waiting to be uncovered and restored to their original beauty. Upstairs, you'll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. The attic has already been framed out, offering the possibility to create a 4th bedroom or an additional office or play space, adding even more value to this charming home. Other noteworthy features of this home include newer plumbing, newer insulated windows, and a newer furnace, all updated approximately 5 years ago. Outside, the flat backyard is perfect for outdoor gatherings, complete with a large shed for storage and a cozy firepit area for relaxing. Make this affordable home yours before it's too late!
