3 Alvil Rd, Wilmington, DE 19805

Welcome to Vilone Village, Elsmere's hidden secret. This quiet, well-cared for community just outside of the City of Wilmington is home to cute Cape Cod style houses as well as more stately brick Colonials such as this. With tons of curb appeal, its own driveway providing off-street parking, a convenient shed, and fencing, this sparkling clean, 3 BR, 1.5 BA brick home is sure to please. What you can't see easily from the road is the generously-sized rear concrete patio, a nice sized shed with a mower ramp, and a private level back yard. The home has been beautifully remodeled in the last 2 years and simply shines. This inviting home features beautifully refinished hardwood floors, newer carpet in the basement family room and remodeled kitchen and baths with new flooring (all in 2019). The kitchen updates include custom subway tile backsplash; deep windowsill over sink; Euro-style single-lever faucet; large S/S undermount sink; double-hung windows, Frigidaire 4 burner electric range with 5th "warm zone" burner; Frigidaire dishwasher, InSinkerator 1/3 hp disposal, pendant light over granite peninsula with breakfast bar, and deep baseboards. After moving in, the owner had most of the interior professionally painted in a soft, warm hue (Martha Stewart's "Shortbread"). Additional recent improvements by the seller and some approximate costs are * * * a new water heater ($1400) * * * combo door lock ($300) * * * full-view front storm door ($500) * * * appliances--refrigerator, washer, dryer ($1,600) * * * custom kitchen backsplash ($700) * * * under-cabinet lighting with separate remote controls. The 1st floor presents an inviting, spacious living room that flows into the kitchen and dining area. There is a counter overhang in the kitchen that seats 2-3 persons comfortably and there is plenty of additional seating space in the dining room. The rear door in the kitchen leads you to the patio, back yard and owner parking. On the second floor, you'll find an open landing, 2 nice sized bedrooms, another bedroom that the homeowner uses as a cozy den, and the remodeled full bathroom with a tub/shower combo. The lower level finished area features a family room with recessed lighting. The large (23'x13') semi-finished laundry/utility /storage area has a convenient half bath, included washer and dryer, the HVAC unit (Trane gas heater), new 40-gal. Rheem gas hot water heater, and a sump pump as well as a large clean storage space. The driveway was seal coated during the renovation and blown-in insulation was added to the attic. There is easy attic access via pull-down stairs in one of the upstairs bedrooms. There is a new full-view storm door at the front entrance and another storm door at the back door off the kitchen with an overhang for protection from rain. The owner believes that the side yard marker is approximately the front fire hydrant with the boundary line going straight back from there. This generous lot provides almost a quarter acre of land. Your buyers will thank you for showing them this wonderful home. SQUARE FOOTAGE NOTED ABOVE DOES NOT INCLUDE THE FINISHED PORTION OF BASEMENT APPROX. ADDITIONAL 200 SQ. FT. = 1425 SQ. FT. )
