About this House

You will be proud to call this 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath all brick colonial home yours. This home has been lovingly maintained by the second owner for over 50 years . As you enter you will be greeted by a large living room with a brick gas fireplace that quickly takes the chill off a cold evening. The dining room has lots of natural light from the sliding glass door that leads out to an over-sized deck to the back yard whether having seasonal indoor entertaining or a summer barbeque there is plenty of room for making the most of the party. Did I say entertaining or just relaxing let's move to the family room . Again plenty of natural light from the bay widow and large picture window. The eat-in kitchen has access to the laundry room and powder room on the first floor. It also provides access to the partially finished basement. The steps to the second floor are located at the front door entrance. You will find 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The smaller bedroom was previously used as an office. It does have a window a/c unit even though the house does have central air. There is also a very large floored attic. As we visit the backyard off of the large deck you will find a haven of lush landscaping in the spring; a wood fence and a shed for storing your garden tools. The owners' mother was a garden club enthusiast and enjoyed her backyard to the fullest, Things you will love about the area tax free shopping, multiple grocery stores minutes away, visits to Historic Old New Castle with wonderful restaurants and walking paths and free concerts in the summer, easy access to I-95, I495, Rt, 1 and the Delaware Memorial Bridge to New Jersey.
