Property Description
Welcome to this beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom twin home with all the convenience of North Wilmington, yet a surprising oasis of privacy and historic features. The twins were built in 1980, converted from an historic "bank barn", known as the Thomas Rambo Barn built circa 1850. The stone walls of the home are impeccably maintained and original to the barn. The steps up the "bank" into the main level of the home bring you into a foyer that leads immediately to a dining area and galley kitchen which includes updated grey granite counters, all stainless appliances including a refrigerator with bottom freezer, and an oven with convection cooking. The kitchen is open to the living room graced by the warm exposed stone wall and wood beamed ceiling. A wood stove "heatilator" in the corner, provides both heat efficiency and atmosphere on winter nights, ready to go next fall with the large stack of wood included! A wall of full length windows and a door opens to a brand new Trex deck completed this April. Upstairs you will find two spacious bedrooms each with en-suite, upgraded bathrooms, with such amenities as a heated floor in one, bifold shower door imported from Germany, and a walk-in shower with two shower heads and bench. The larger bedroom opens to a brand new balcony, overlooking the lovely garden. Three large custom closets enhance the functionality of the space on this floor. Skylights brightening the home are just six years old. The lower level has two rooms, functioning as a large office and family room. Dry utility room and laundry room are also on this level. Sliding doors open to a patio for easy access to the garden or grill and protected by the original barn stone wall. At the front entrance is additional storage and an enclosed private area for grilling or sunning. The quarter acre lot feels spacious with the beautifully landscaped and manicured lawn and garden. This impeccably maintained home includes systems that are updated and upscale including a gas-powered HVAC installed in 2013 with home humidifier, newer water heater still under 10-year warranty and a roof installed just 6 years ago over the entire home. After driving up the long driveway to the 3-car parking area, you would not believe that you are seconds away from easy shopping and access to main roads. If you are looking for the convenience of this location, yet appreciate privacy and history, come tour this move-in ready home today!
