Description

Step back in time with this 1910 Colonial beauty, where vintage character meets everyday comfort. Overlooking a peaceful park, this home invites you in with its brick front steps, wide wood porch, and timeless appeal that’s hard to find today. Inside, you’ll discover a home filled with original millwork including wide baseboards, detailed door trim, wood banisters, and solid doors adorned with antique hardware, each piece telling a story of craftsmanship from a bygone era. Much of the flooring has been updated with luxury vinyl plank, blending old-world warmth with modern durability. The spacious entryway and living room provide a welcoming first impression, while a cozy office with built-ins and a bow window makes for a perfect reading nook or workspace. The formal dining room features a lovely bump-out wall, plenty of natural light, and elegant wired wall sconces, creating an inviting setting for gatherings. The kitchen offers a touch of modern convenience with white and stainless steel appliances, recessed lighting, and twin casement windows above the sink that let in cheerful morning light. Just off the kitchen, the laundry room doubles as a powder room and offers a large walk-in pantry for added storage and function. From the dining room and kitchen, you can step into a bonus room that’s ideal for a playroom, exercise space, or a quiet reading area. Beyond that, a three-season room with screened casement windows and ceramic flooring provides the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the breeze. Off the 3 Season room is a large utility room with a workbench and shelving that’s great for hobbies or home projects. Upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms and a full hall bath, all newly refreshed with brand-new carpeting. One bedroom features a lovely bump-out with three windows plus a side window, filling the space with natural light and adding architectural interest. A walk-up attic offers even more possibilities, already floored with finished walls and built-in shelving ready for storage or creative use. Outside, the property includes a large detached two-car garage with a convenient side street entrance. Additional features include a whole-house water filtration system and attic fan.  With its blend of historic detail, thoughtful updates, and cozy country appeal, this home is ready to welcome its next chapter.

    "Live in surronding area and you have people all trying to get through life. plenty of churches. Close to strip centers and shopping mall. Delmar split between a tax and no sale tax states, Delaware/Maryland. You can live near city living but feel you in the country. central to many attractions within 1 hour drive. "
