Rare opportunity to live in a lovingly-restored, brick, center-hall colonial in north Wilmington on a quiet tree-lined street in Brandywine School District, within walking distance to Bellevue State Park. Beautiful traditional details paired with modern updates, this home has it all: a four-season sun room (which can double as a home office), a separate dining room, living room with original built-ins and a fireplace, eat-in kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite counter-tops, pantry, half-bath and screened-in back porch complete the first floor. Upstairs are 3 bedrooms: an upgraded full bath for the 2 large bedrooms and a master bedroom with a full bath and walk-in closet. Hardwoods, five panel doors with original glass knobs and neutral paint are throughout the graceful interior. Looking for modern, this home has many upgrades including an upgraded kitchen, an upgraded bath, upgraded modern lighting fixtures throughout, a rebuilt portico entrance and a security system. The current owners also added a new HVAC with dual-zoned central heating and air-conditioning. Looking for tranquility, this home is on a quiet street, on a private large lot with mature trees, fenced in backyard (pet friendly) and a detached, over-sized, all brick, 2-car garage. Looking for an active community, this house is walking distance to the historic town of Bellefonte, Bellevue State Park, Rockwood Mansion, and the Delaware Greenways. Looking for a convenient location, there is easy access to I-95, I-495, and SEPTA Claymont train station. Looking for history, baseball pioneer and Delaware native, E. Bert Cunningham, who pitched for the Dodgers and Orioles among others, was the first owner of the house and lived here for over 25 years. Connie Mack, famed manager of the Philadelphia Athletics, visited Bert Cunningham here, as they had been teammates and lifelong friends.
