Rarely available 3-bedroom, 3-bath brick-and-vinyl ranch on over an acre of land that offers open space flanked by trees. It's not located in a development, so your restrictions are only those of New Castle County. A detached 2-car garage with bonus storage rooms in the garage and a spacious driveway means you have lots of room for all your toys! The house is set back off the road making it peaceful and yet the location allows you good access to amenities. The lot offers you many possibilities: the sellers removed the above-ground pool in the back, but you could certainly put one back in, expand the house, add a deck, enlarge the garage. .. the list goes on! The house itself has three bedrooms: two bedrooms, two full baths upstairs, and the third bedroom and bath downstairs where you'll also find the family room with fireplace. bonus storage room, and unfinished laundry and boiler room. The property is not located in a flood zone and the basement, which has a bilco access, is dry. On the main level you'll also love the kitchen that's open to the breakfast area, living room with bay window, spacious dining room, and bonus room that can be used as a home office, storage room. .. or maybe you want to expand the kitchen and breakfast room for a more contemporary feel. Great with the layout it has, but it also offers a lot of options. It could be the blank canvas you've been waiting for! Updates include: Central AC about three years ago, new septic system within the last four years, replaced waste line in basement, jacuzzi tub in basement bath. NOTE: The property is being sold as a short sale in "as is" condition. All inspections are for informational purposes only. Neither the Seller nor the Seller's lender will make any repairs, including repairs required by Buyer's lender. Commissions and price are subject to Seller's Lender's approval. No FHA financing will be accepted. Buyer to pay Short Sale Facilitator Fee at closing.
