This townhome is located in the wonderful community of Old New Castle, rich in charm and history with shops, restaurants, museums and riverfront park just a few steps away. Built in 1829, it is one of ten homes for the local foundry families. Entering the original section, you are greeted by an exposed brick wall, high beamed ceiling and two brick fireplaces. The combined living room/dining room area has hardwood floors and built-ins. The fireplace in the living area is wood burning and the dining area fireplace is gas. The kitchen and powder room floors are tile. Solid pine doors with original hardware salvaged from a Wilmington mansion are throughout. A spacious kitchen, laundry area and a convenient powder room were added in 1998. The kitchen is a chef's delight with stainless steel appliances, 42" maple cabinets and Corian countertops. Sliding doors light the kitchen and lead to a charming brick patio and garden with potting/storage shed. Upstairs, the master bedroom features a skylight and high ceiling fan thar create a light, airy space with garden view. An adjacent dressing area or den includes a cozy fireplace, bookcases and a closet. The front bedroom has a wood-burning fireplace with a built-in bookcase. All have easy access to the full bath. The finished 3rd floor has views to the river from the dormer window and can be used as a 3rd bedroom, playroom or office.
