Near the University of Delaware, this adorable ranch home has 3 bedrooms, each with ceiling fans and efficient closet built-ins. The nice sized living room has a floor to ceiling brick fireplace and leads to the bright white kitchen and dining area with stainless-steel appliances, recessed lighting, and plenty of counter space and storage. This home has mostly tile, bamboo, and hardwood floors. It's really something special. There is an additional family room and office nook in the rear of the home with north and south facing patios right outside. A winding terracotta brick path connects the home with its historic, electric-equipped workshop and utility shed that provides ample storage in the fenced-in yard with motion-sensor lights.

You'll also enjoy a fabulous 4th of July fireworks show!
