Property Details

Description

Charming, vinyl sided cape cod home on a lovely, quiet block in Delaware City is now on the market for the first time! Young compared to so many of the town's properties, this quality built home which offers the primary bedroom on the main level has been exceptionally well maintained for the 33 years after the Seller purchased a newly subdivided lot with existing shed to build their dream home. A brick walkway leads to the welcoming front porch. Step inside to appreciate the light filled living room with a large Marvin triple window, dining room and kitchen providing an open feel. Solid wood doors and trim throughout. The kitchen is tastefully designed with Corian countertops, beveled tile backsplash and a gas cooktop on the island. Custom built 42 inch oak cabinets by Panabaker have been meticulously cared for and some of the major appliances are newer. Quality construction continues to the sunroom, a conversion from the original open air back porch, offering easy to maintain ceramic tile flooring, a gas stove and three walls of Pella casement windows to be enjoyed as a cozy family room or office. Step out to the at-level deck to soak in the sun or shade yourself with the SunSetter retractable awning; you will enjoy the view of the mostly fenced-in rear yard. Back inside, vinyl plank flooring throughout the main level is a recent enhancement. The primary bedroom is more than generous in size, with a cathedral ceiling, skylight, 2 closets, and a separate, tucked away dressing vanity. The laundry room is just steps away, as is the spacious 5 piece full bath. The carpeted second level offers two equally sized large bedrooms with loads of closet space and a full bathroom. The basement with walk up access to the back yard has so much potential to finish or leave as-is for an incredible amount of storage. New water heater (2024); HVAC (2010), water filtration system for kitchen refrigerator. But there's more! A Generac whole house generator ( 2021) assures peace of mind; and the original shed/workshop with 2-20amp electric circuits will house garden tools and power equipment. The attached two car garage is oversized, with pulldown stairs for attic storage. And the expanded driveway with 30 amp service would perfectly accommodate one's RV. Entire roof system was replaced in 2012. This property is an excellent choice for small town living ( < 2000 residents) in New Castle County, where one can stroll to the water, shops, dining, landmarks, or local and state parks. And yet is mere minutes to the north/south corridors for easy commuting. Delaware City is a close knit, friendly, historic community. Some town residents are the fifth or more generation who lived and loved it here - just ask the Seller! Municipal taxes pay for local police, government and trash collection among other services. While lovingly maintained, property is being sold strictly "as-is." Inspections, if elected are for informational purposes only. Seller will not make repairs.
