About this House

What's unique:Elegant staircasesRefined finishesPrivate fenced-in oasisHigh ceilingsStunning architectural detailsGleaming wood floors
Back on the market—buyer’s financing fell through! Welcome to 124 2nd Street, Historic New Castle, an impeccably maintained 3-story Colonial end-unit townhouse (c. 1890) offering 4 bedrooms, 1 full & 1 half bath and roughly 1,700 sq ft of refined living space. Step inside to a gracious living room highlighted by soaring ceilings, gleaming wood floors, and an oversized wood-burning fireplace—the perfect gathering spot on cool evenings. A formal dining room sits just off the chef’s kitchen, which boasts gas cooking, stainless-steel appliances, abundant cabinetry, and generous counter space for effortless meal prep. A handy main-level library/office (or potential first-floor bedroom) and tucked-away half bath add versatility, while a separate laundry/utility room keeps daily chores out of sight. Upstairs, two sun-splashed bedrooms share a refreshed full bath. Ascend one more level to discover a show-stopping primary retreat featuring a dramatic vaulted ceiling and Velux skylight—your private sanctuary at day’s end. Outside, a fenced, landscaped garden provides a serene setting for al-fresco dining or morning coffee. Nestled in the heart of Old New Castle, you’ll enjoy riverfront concerts, tall-ship visits, tennis and pickleball courts, a new basketball court, playgrounds, and charming shops—yet you’re minutes to I-95, the Delaware Memorial Bridge, and major commuter routes. Opportunities like this are rare; seize your chance to own a piece of New Castle’s storied past while enjoying modern comforts today.
