Description

WOW! INCREDIBLE! THIS ISN'T WHAT I EXPECTED! You will think and say all of these when you tour this wonderful home. There is historic charm with all the conveniences of today!! Unique, beautifully updated home in the historic district of Old New Castle. The front of the house is the original, 200 year old rooms that have been completely renovated. Behind the original front rooms is the large addition completed in 1999. The open air courtyard provides a unique entrance and fills the home with ample natural light. The Gourmet Kitchen includes a Subzero with 2 separate refrigerator drawers, Viking 6 burner cooktop, Thermador double ovens and warming drawer, 2 large islands. Butler's pantry has the ice maker, sink and more cabinets for storage space. The open design allows you to see the family room, eating area, dining room and living room from the kitchen. The family room has a wood burning fireplace and sliding, french doors to the outdoor area. One of the original rooms is now a custom built office. There is also a mud room off the screened porch. Antique hardwood floors throughout. Upstairs is the master bedroom with a dressing room, updated master bath with jetted tub, oversized walk in shower and double vanity. A must see is the large master closet designed by California closets. Also on the 2nd floor are 2 additional bedroom suites with their own private bath. The third level is a large bedroom/bonus room with a walk-in closet. Downstairs is the game room and exercise area with an additional full bath. The unfinished portion of the basement gives you plenty of storage space. There is a gas fireplace and an outside entrance. Outside you'll find rare off-street parking in an OVERSIZED, HEATED, 2-CAR GARAGE! Yes you read that right, a 2-car garage. There is also driveway parking for at least 4 more cars. Off the family room is the brick patio with electric awning and fire pit area. There is a half court basketball area in the back yard. To complete the house is a security system and central vacuum. The entire lot is beautifully landscaped. Seller is providing a 1 year home warranty. You will be amazed when your tour this home. It is not what you expect in Old New Castle. You are just steps away from all the Old New Castle has to offer: the Delaware River, Battery Park, the new pier, restaurants, shops, library and so much more. Schedule your appointment today to tour this home and see for yourself!
