About this House

This early Federal Style home was built in 1802 by John Aull and is part of three attached homes (47, 49, and 51) located on East Second Street, also known as "Aull's Row". Mr. Aull lived in this home with his family for many years. The home is unique and known for its original wooden room dividers and exposed corner posts. This home is listed on the National Register of Historical Places and is located on one of the prettiest streets of Old New Castle. All of the utility wires on this street were buried underground and paid for by Oprah Winfrey during the filming of one of her movies in the late 1990's. This home has been extremely well maintained and many of the upgrades were designed to preserve as much of the original characteristics of this home as possible. This home faces the Green and the side of the house faces the Read House back yard and garden, which is a quiet museum where the son of George Read Sr., one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence resided. The backyard faces a small piece of city owned property/parkland. The owners especially love the private views from every window. There are 3 bedrooms and 2 ½ baths. The four-season sun room on the first floor was used as a family room/den. The eat -in kitchen has handmade cabinets made of long leaf yellow pine and countertops made from Gunstock maple. Many of the floors of the home were original and/or replaced with old random width pine floors. There are two fireplaces one upstairs and one downstairs. The home has a fenced in backyard with a very private patio. Copper gutters and downspouts were installed on this home. All of the major systems have been updated recently including: a new Red Cedar shingle roof with a warranty - 2019; Chimney rebuilt above roofline- 2019; HVAC- 2014; Hot Water Heater- 2016; Aprillaire Central Humidifier- 2018; The home also has a Kenmore Central Vacuum System and ADT alarm system that it currently leased. Area amenities include cobblestone streets, quaint shops and restaurants including Jessop's Tavern, a colonial themed restaurant specializing in Belgium Beer. It is also a very short walk to Battery Park overlooking the Delaware River. Old New Castle is part of the Delaware Greenway walking and biking pathways that connects to both the Wilmington Riverfront and Delaware City.
47 E 2nd St, New Castle, DE 19720 is a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom, 2,150 sqft townhouse built in 1802. It last sold for $365,000 on Oct 10, 2019. It is currently off market. The Trulia Estimate is $499,400, with a rent estimate of $2,420/month.
