This is a truly rare property. Located in one of the most desirable areas in Delaware. Over an acre of land in Middletown just south of the Summit bridge. The home is almost 100 years old and does need major work to restore and modernize but the location is ideal and there just aren't many properties like this available. The property is located on Bethel Church Road and is perfectly placed for that feeling of living in the country while being mere minutes from all of today's modern convenience. Home is vacant so use caution while touring. Home is being sold as-is. Inspections are for informational purpose only. Public water not far away and can be tied in.
