Loved for close to 60 years, continuously maintained and enhanced, this property is now ready for a new owner. This brick, cape-style colonial in the oh, so convenient Brandywine Hundred neighborhood of Edgemoor Terrace shows quality construction, character and charm. Originally a modest 3 bedroom, one bath property, this long time owner took care to make many thoughtful updates over the years which include a family room conversion from the former single car garage space, a lovely screened porch which was recently enhanced with sliding windows for 3 seasons of enjoyment, and a full bathroom in the unfinished basement. There is plenty of space for gatherings on the main level with the ample sized living room flowing easily to the dining room and to the family room. There is access to the porch from the kitchen to enjoy the private, fenced backyard. Tucked to the side of the porch is a handy tool shed. Back inside and upstairs are three generously sized bedrooms all with plenty of closet storage and the updated hall bath, as well as the pull down access to the floored attic from the upper level hallway. All of the original hardwood floors have been recently refinished, and the entire interior of the house has been freshly painted, including the dry basement. The family room and kitchen have been updated with newly installed LVP flooring, and kitchen cabinets have also been painted. The natural gas HVAC and water heater were replaced in 2011, and the roof with warranted shingles in 2012. Travel to PHL iin 20 minutes, or Wilmington train station in about half that time. Convenient to a multitude of shopping and dining options, and several local parks. WELCOME HOME: this solid home is ready for YOU! ** While nicely maintained, Seller prefers for the property, including appliances and shed to convey "as-is." For Buyer's peace of mind, Seller is purchasing a one year 2-10 Homebuyer Warranty.
