Description

Welcome to 38 Read Street, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half-bath home in the heart of Seaford, Delaware. Ideally located near Hooper’s Landing Golf Course, the community pool, senior center, and local schools, this home combines comfort with convenience. Inside, the main-level primary suite offers a spacious retreat with a large walk-in closet that conveniently includes a new washer and dryer. The flowing floor plan features multiple living areas, including a formal living room, a cozy family room with radiant heat and a separate thermostat, and an office. The kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting all new appliances, a walk-in pantry, a breakfast nook, and a dining area. For convenience, a half bath is located on each level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a sitting area provide plenty of space for family and guests. The exterior is just as inviting, featuring a fenced backyard with patios and lush landscaping maintained by a lawn irrigation system. A one-car side-entry garage, a detached one-car garage, and abundant off-street and on-street parking make this home as functional as it is attractive. While the home was originally built in 1947, a major addition and renovation in 2004 nearly doubled the square footage and extensively modernized the property. This comprehensive update included new double-pane windows, security doors, new electrical wiring, and new plumbing. Recent system upgrades provide ultimate peace of mind, including two new central A/C units installed in 2024, efficient natural gas heat, and an on-demand tankless water heater. The property is serviced by City Water and City Sewer and includes a whole-house backup Generac generator. With its blend of classic charm, modern updates, and a prime location, this gem is ready to welcome its next chapter.
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from December 29, 2025

    "This is a quiet cul-de-sac on the outskirts of Seaford. A perfect place to start a family or down size. Neighbors take pride in their properties and all keep it looking good! It is an easy commute 20 minute to Salisbury, MD & Georgetown, DE."

    "I used to live at this residence. It is currently occupied by my ex spouse. She has decided its best to sell as it is still currently in both of our names. This home has many extras not listed on this website. It has a fenced-in back yard which I took pride in installing myself. The home also features a 16x20 shed with 60-amp service. The shed was also built by me on-site and is unlike other sheds that would be otherwise delivered. The kitchen has an upgraded white cast iron sink - a must see. I installed this as well. The lot on the right of the home is vacant and has been for sale since at least 2005. The owners of the lot live out of state and are not too concerned with selling it. It is a nice location in a quiet setting."
