About this House

We are currently in receipt of multiple offers. The seller has set a deadline for all offers to be submitted by Monday, August 4th at 3:00 PM. Please bring your highest and best. OFFER DEADLINE MONDAY 8/4 AT 3PM. Welcome home to this nicely updated Cape Cod home in the established Collins Park neighborhood. Renovated in 2017, the home offers a great mix of classic style and modern updates.

The layout includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms—one with a tub and one with a stall shower—providing flexibility for your needs. The kitchen is updated with premium Wolf cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. Laundry is conveniently located on the upper level. There is also a den/office on the main level that could be used as an additional bedroom (minus a closet). Major systems offer peace of mind: the roof, heater, and water heater were all new when the seller purchased the home in 2018; the AC compressor was replaced in April 2025; and a brand new sewer line was installed in March 2025. The bones of this house are strong. Situated on a corner lot, the property includes a front, side, and backyard—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A private driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles. This home is close to parks, schools, and local amenities. Commuting is easy with a SEPTA commuter rail station approximately 6 miles away, a bus stop within a mile, and Wilmington Airport (ILG) less than 5 miles from your doorstep. It’s a solid home in a convenient location—ready for you to move in and make it your own.
