703 E Grove St Delmar, DE 19940

Back on the MARKET! Buyer’s lost employment just before closing. There were 5 offers on this property last time!! This classic American Foursquare home sits on a gorgeous double lot just a block away from Delmar Middle and High School in the quaint town of Delmar, DE. This 4 bedroom 1.5 bath home has been loving owned by the same family for 60+ years and is being sold to settle the Estate of Ernest and Clara Larmore. The American Foursquare is house style popular from the mid-1890s to the late 1930s. A reaction to the ornate and mass-produced elements of the Victorian and other Revival styles popular throughout the last half of the 19th century, the American Foursquare was plain, often incorporating handcrafted "honest" woodwork . This style incorporates elements of the Prairie School and the Craftsman styles and was designed to maximize space on a city lot. Because of it's non-ornate construction, it lends perfectly well to renovations towards modern clean line syles popular today! Enjoy the huge front porch updated with maintenance free decking and low rise steps. Inside the first floor offers 9' ceilings, a large living room that spans the whole front width of the house, with beautiful brick fireplace and mantle area, built in shelving, and the attractive stair case leading upstairs .
