About this House

The LAST building lot in Old New Castle with stunning water views of the Delaware River that is on high ground keeping you OUT of the FEMA Flood Zone saving you the need for costly flood insurance. Building Plans for an up to 2500 sq ft detached single family home have already been approved by the New Castle Historic Area Commission saving you the time & added expense. This approved plan includes an amazing open floor concept w/ 2 Master Suites - one upstairs with a large private deck off the bedroom for purely unobstructed views of the Delaware River and a 2nd Master Suite on the main floor as well providing single floor living right away or in your future, if preferred. Washer & Dryer hook ups can be located on both floors to add to the versatility of making this your forever home. On street parking available, however the building plan setback can accommodate 2 cars in the rear if desired for private off-street parking. There are very few homes in the community that offer first floor masters, so this is truly a unique opportunity for an owner. No Builder Tie-In, however a builder is available if needed. Take a ride down 2nd St & notice the charm & beauty this river front lot has to offer. Then see how conveniently located it is to so many unique shops, restaurants, Old New Castle historic monuments/museums, & walking and biking trails through Battery Park. Easy access to major routes 273 & 9 as well as I-95/495 and the Jack Markell Biking Trail. 15 minutes to Wilmington train station and 25 minutes to PHL INT'L Airport. Sit on the back porch or 2nd floor deck and enjoy beautiful sunrises and watch the ships pass by.
