About this home

Discover the charm of North Wilmington living in the sought-after Green Acres community with this inviting and super spacious split-level home. As you step into the 10'x29' front-to-back foyer, you'll be greeted by a convenient powder room, office, and bonus room. The living room boasts a large window and a cozy wood-burning fireplace, while the adjacent formal dining room sets the stage for memorable gatherings. The heart of the home lies in the eat-in kitchen, complete with pantry, cooktop, wall oven, and a newer dishwasher. Upstairs, the primary bedroom offers a walk-in closet, a dressing room and an en-suite bath with a white pedestal sink, shower/tub combination, and linen closet. Three additional bedrooms, one with a spacious walk-in closet, share a well-appointed hall bathroom. Unwind in the lower level family room, featuring a gas fireplace and access to storage and utility space. Enjoy the large enclosed porch overlooking the backyard and the convenience of a laundry/storage room beyond the 1-car garage. The outdoor space is a standout, with a carport including a built-in shed and a free-standing shed in the spacious, private backyard. Notably, this home is conveniently located across from the Green Acres pool and features sidewalks throughout the community. With parquet hardwood floors, many replacement windows, vinyl siding, a new 2-stage gas heater in 2022, and updated gas hot water heater in 2017, this residence is ready to welcome you home. This home has been lovingly maintained by the current owner since 1978 and is being sold in “as is” condition.
