You'll really like this home! Lovingly maintained & conveniently located in N. Wilmington, it's close to Wilmington and Philadelphia. Beautiful hardwood floors will spark your interest as you enter the living room. Lots of recent upgrades include the remodeled bathroom and powder room, refinished hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout most of the house. My favorite renovation of this house is the fantastic 4 season room in the back of the house. It is terrific for every season of the year with lots of glass, natural light & gorgeous slate flooring. It overlooks a private and peaceful rear yard with a nice brick patio. I also love the large stone fireplace in the family room. The stone facade runs across the entire width of the room. There is a gas line that is run to it or you can use it for woodburning if you'd like. This neighborhood is very close to major routes including 95, 495, Naaman's Road, Philadelphia Pike and others. Easy to get anywhere from here. Come take a look; you'll like it!
