Canby Park Estates Historic District, located between Canby Park and the Brandywine Creek, is a historic and residential Wilmington neighborhood with curving, tree-lined streets and early-20th-century architecture. The district reads as a compact gallery of Tudor Revival, Colonial Revival, and Craftsman details, with deep setbacks and mature landscaping shaping the streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Greenhill Avenue at W. 18th Street, where park edges, stone walls, and steady foot traffic set a calm, outdoorsy cadence. Canby Park’s trails and open lawns frame daily routines, while the Brandywine corridor adds a wooded backdrop. Nearby cultural anchors such as the Delaware Art Museum, Rockford Park, and the Rockford Tower give the area a distinctly Wilmington sense of place.

Welcome to 1973 Lakeview Road! Conveniently located near shopping and public transportation, this 3-bedroom brick townhome has been upgraded with a remodeled kitchen, remodeled full bathroom, new roof, new gutters, and updated electric, plus it has a spacious finished basement. Guess what else is in the basement? A sort-of half bath. Okay. .. it's a toilet in the unfinished area, but there's also a sink in there and even a mirror! We realize that's not a half bath, but if you've ever had to share a bathroom, you realize the importance of extra . .. plumbing. The home features off-street parking in the back (1 vehicle but could be 2 if you remove the fence ). You'll love the possibilities of the tiered front garden which, though lovely, has room for your personal touch of a few more plants! Freshly painted, this solid townhome is ready for you to call it home! Seller is also offering a home warranty with an acceptable offer.
