Serene and Stunning TWO acre lot north of the canal with solid BRICK ranch in need of renovation! Chesapeake Canal Estates Brick Masonry Ranch hosts 1800 +/- square footage on TWO acres with full basement just north of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal in New Castle County and across from a 3,000 acre +/- parcel bordering the C & D Canal west of Delaware City in the historic town of Saint Georges. Restore this home to the original beauty, on a nice level lot nestled between two lovely parcels and treeline toward the rear border. The three bedroom two bath home was built in 1978 and hosts an eat in kitchen, formal living and dining rooms, a family room with a sliding door to the rear deck, main floor laundry room, hardwood flooring on main level, full basement and a two car garage with workshop area. Condition of the home structure, interior, well and septic are unknown, and therefore "AS-IS". Suez water main supply line available in area. Must contact Suez for information regarding tie-in process and costs. Basement finished area needs tear out, presumably due to mold. Check with NCC, as subdivision and rezoning MAY be possible. Contractors: Once you fix this one up, you will want to KEEP it!! Plenty of room for a swimming pool, pole barn for car enthusiast or build any structure for an entrepreneurial venture contingent upon rezoning and approval by NCC. This property location offers easy access to Routes 1 & 13 north of the canal. Learn about the rich history of North Saint Georges and also Delaware City located about three miles east of the property on the Delaware River. Shown by appointment only. Occupied-Please do not enter the driveway without a confirmed appointment. Property is sold "AS-IS" without expressed or implied warranty.
