This is the home you've been waiting for! Exceptional renovation by Stevens Construction in a prime North Wilmington location on a spacious half acre lot has left no surface untouched.Tucked in a small community off Foulk Road across from Brandywood, Northshire has spacious lots with no through roads which creates less traffic and more privacy. Low turn-over means homes in this enclave are rarely available and you"ll get to know your neighbors. A charming front porch bordered by fresh landscaping frames the custom leaded glass front door with side lights guiding into this beautiful 4 bedroom, 2.5 bath colonial. From the moment you walk in this gracious home, you"ll appreciate the thoughtful renovations and spacious floor plan. The elegant living room has crown molding, recessed lights, and refinished hardwoods that flow into the dining room. Sliding glass doors fill the dining room with natural light and create a great entertaining space leading out to the new deck. A fantastic open floor plan runs through the main living spaces with a breakfast bar joining the kitchen and dining room. This stylish kitchen is a chef"s dream featuring 42" cherry cabinets, gorgeous St. Cecilia (level 2) granite countertops, sleek stainless steel appliances that include a 5-burner gas range with continuous grate and built-in wine refrigerator, undermount stainless steel sink with offset faucet, travertine backsplash, recessed and pendant lights, and a porcelain tile floor. The family room and powder room are just down the hall from the kitchen. Family room has new hardwood floors, a brick fireplace, and opens to the newly enclosed sun porch that adds a wonderful year-round living space. The hardwood floors continue up the stairs, into the hallway, and into each of the second floor bedrooms. Master bedroom suite offers a walk-in closet and a renovated, spa-like private bathroom with a custom tile shower with frameless glass door and a glass mosaic accent. Three additional bedrooms offer ceiling fans, great closet space, and share the generously sized hall bath with neutral tile and a large vanity with granite countertop. Additional updates include: new single layer roof, new central air conditioning (and one-year old gas heater), new vinyl siding and windows, new stylish garage doors, fresh paint, and new lighting throughout completing this turn-key home!
