Beautiful home back on the market at no fault of the seller, previous buyers financing fell thru. Charming 3 bedroom home is located in the heart of the Fairfax community of Deerhurst. Highly sought after North Wilmington Area and Brandywine Schools. The home has been lovingly maintained since the owner purchased the home back in 2016 and has only had 1 tenant that raved about the area and the home but it was time for her to move on. Since purchase the homeowner has completely remodeled the kitchen including a reconfiguration and opening up the dining room wall for a more open feel. The home has had several updates over the years by previous owners. Local shopping is just around the corner! ONE-YEAR HOME WARRANTY INCLUDED. This home is FOR SALE ONLY, not available for rent.
