Property Description
Brick three story twin in the historic neighborhood of Wawaset Park. Wawaset Park was originally a park used for horse & auto racing and fairgrounds. It was purchased in 1917 by the DuPont company who decided to use the land for housing for employees. This charming neighborhood retains its small town feel with several neighborhood events throughout the year, sidewalks that beckon to stroll along, and well designed homes of different sizes and styles. The timeless curb appeal is highlighted by arched windows that are repeated in the brick archway that leads to the front door. The entry foyer leads to the living room where the details of an older home are present in the dentil crown molding, beautiful fireplace, and built-in bookcases along one wall. A sun porch is the perfect spot to relax. The dining room with tray ceiling and French doors to rear deck is ideal for everyday or formal dining. Kitchen was renovated with an eye for details as evidenced in the custom backsplash and cabinetry, stainless appliances, and granite counters including a breakfast nook. A window seat and applied moldings add additional special touches. A powder room can also be found on the main floor. Hardwood floors flow throughout the rooms and leaded glass windows along with original glass knobs add to the charm of the home. Custom insulating draperies in the living room and dining room increase energy efficiency. The master bedroom is located on the second floor and boasts a walk-in closet and recently renovated private full bathroom. An additional bedroom with custom built-ins and full hall bath are also located on the second floor. Access to the roof top deck can be found through the 2nd bedroom. It's the perfect spot to dine al fresco or relax with a cup of coffee while privately watching the comings and goings on the street. The third floor features the third bedroom, full bath with original claw foot tub, and an additional finished room that is currently used for storage, but could also be used as a playroom or den. The beautifully landscaped rear yard with slate patio is a wonderful retreat for city living. Plenty of off street parking can be found in the two car garage or driveway. Additional features include radiant heat on the first floor, oversized 119 gallon water heater, and spacious basement for storage. Don't miss your opportunity to own this beautiful home in one of Wilmington's most sought after historic neighborhoods.
