Description

Welcome to Historic Old New Castle! This charming brick, semi-detached home, built in 1822, offers historic details such as an antique stained glass transom window blended with modern updates. As you enter through the front porch, you’ll find a cozy living room featuring a decorative fireplace with built-in shelving. Original hardwood floors flow into the open dining area, perfect for gatherings and entertaining. The updated kitchen offers soft-close wood cabinets, granite countertops, a large island with seating for four, newer appliances, and a preserved original cupboard for added character. A mudroom and powder room complete the first floor. Upstairs, you’ll find three bedrooms with original wood flooring and a full bath with a tiled shower, newer vanity, and updated flooring. Step out through the mudroom to a private rear paver patio and fenced yard—an ideal space for relaxing or entertaining. Additional features include a shed, light posts, and partial river views. The rear of the home has updated insulation and siding. Practical bonuses include two private parking spots in the rear and the rare convenience of a two-way street. Just one block from the Delaware River, this beautifully maintained home offers the perfect blend of history, charm, and modern updates in the heart of the Old New Castle Historic District.
