Description

Timeless 1920s charm meets thoughtful modern updates in this beautifully maintained 5‑bedroom, 3 1/2 bath brick home in the heart of highly desirable Wawaset Park, set on a tree‑lined street with effortless walkability and proximity to shops, restaurants, and neighborhood amenities. This detached home offers abundant natural light and charm and character highlighted by its arched doorways, hardwood floors throughout, and a well-maintained classic slate roof. The beautiful renovated chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, natural gas range, farmhouse sink, wine refrigerator, and a sunny breakfast area. The main foyer opens to a large dining room with a wood‑burning fireplace, while the living room with floor‑to‑ceiling built‑ins flows into a bright sunroom—perfect for everyday living or entertaining. An updated powder room completes the main level. Upstairs, the primary suite includes expanded closets and a renovated ensuite bath with Carrara marble double vanity and a tiled shower with modern fixtures. Two additional bedrooms and a renovated hall bath complete the second floor. The third floor offers two more bedrooms and a full bath—ideal for guests, office space, or flexible living. Outdoor living shines with a flagstone patio, professional landscaping, and an oversized 1‑car garage with ample driveway parking. Additional upgrades include updated electrical throughout, recessed LED lighting, WiFi thermostats, new HVAC (2023), and new roof over the living room and sunroom (2023). Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained, turn‑key historic home with character, comfort, and curb appeal in one of Wilmington’s most sought‑after neighborhoods.
