Discover the potential of this all-brick 3-bedroom, 2-bath ranch home with a finished basement in the sought-after Fireside Park. This property will shine with a bit of tender loving care. The living, dining and generously sized bedrooms boast hardwood floors, and nearly all windows have Anderson replacements. The kitchen features granite counters, a tile backsplash, large pantry and there is a gas connection available for the stove (currently electric) for easy conversion if desired. The living room features a large bay window for added natural light. The lower level is partially finished with a full bathroom, a spacious cedar closet, and an additional unfinished area with laundry and a large workshop. The attic also has some flooring for additional storage. Outside, you'll find a large, 20 X 12, two-level shed with electricity. A fully fenced backyard and an extended driveway provide ample off-street parking. The roof is estimated to be around 8 years old, and the furnace is believed to be approximately 6 years old, though the owners, cannot confirm. According to public records, the AC was installed in 2006 but currently requires servicing. Fireside Park offers a convenient central location with nearby restaurants and shopping. It is just minutes away from Christiana Hospital, the University of Delaware, and easy access to I-95. This property is ready for the right buyer to bring out its full potential!
