Conveniently located within minutes of the DE/PA state border, I-495, I-95, Claymont commuter train station and 15 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport, you will enjoy easy access to all of the excitement in the great cities along the northeast corridor while also reaping the financial benefits of living in this affordable home. Essentially maintenance free this house includes a NEW roof and NEW energy efficient HVAC system; NEW windows; NEW plumbing system and hot water heater; NEW electric wiring and all NEW fixtures throughout the entire house. The airy front porch welcomes you to the first level that features engineered wood flooring that flows throughout the living room and into the dining room and kitchen.

Substantial renovation of the Claymont train station is already underway, along with plans to redevelop the former steel mill site with office space, retail buildings, residences and additional community open space. Get in early and reap all of the benefits of these revitalization efforts. The lucky buyer of this home will receive a $25,000 grant from DSHA that can be used towards closing costs and to reduce the primary mortgage amount for instant equity.
