Distinguished by its striking curb appeal and exceptional designer touches on the inside, this North Wilmington Sharpley ranch stands out from other homes in the neighborhood. Enjoy the convenience of main floor living in this modern 2 bedroom (formerly 3 beds), 2.5 bath home with first-floor laundry and two-car attached garage. The Giorgi gourmet eat-in kitchen is thoughtfully laid out and offers abundant cabinet and countertop space. White cabinets with molding are enhanced by timeless black soapstone countertops and tile backsplash. The upgraded lighting package offers modern pendant fixtures and recessed lights. Higher-end stainless steel appliances include a double wall oven, gas stove, dishwasher, and built-in microwave. The Sub-Zero paneled refrigerator creates a sleek built-in appearance. The kitchen breakfast area has even more cabinet and countertop space along with a stainless-steel wine/beverage refrigerator. Just off the kitchen, enjoy relaxing in the sunroom with new Synergy composite flooring, skylights and patio doors that lead to a fabulous composite deck that overlooks the private back yard. The formal dining room offers details like crown molding, a chair rail, decorative ceiling medallion and another way to access the deck. That same attention-to-detail continues into the living room where you will also find crown molding, along with a wood burning fireplace that serves as the room's focal point. The oversized primary bedroom is a relaxing retreat with touches like crown molding, closets that include a large walk-in, and an ensuite that makes a statement. The primary bath's custom finishes include a vanity with two sinks, tile flooring with a basket weave inlay and a large luxury shower with floor-to-ceiling custom tilework. The second bedroom is also spacious and offers plenty of natural light and a good-sized closet. The full hall bath is a chic and contemporary space featuring a tub/shower with a custom tile surround, crown molding, wainscoting, recessed lighting, a pedestal sink, and extra built-in cabinetry. The main-floor living experience is enhanced by the inclusion of a spacious mudroom/laundry room, complete with an oversized utility closet, modern powder room, and access to the two-car garage and unfinished basement. Notable recent updates and features include a new hot water heater (2022), professionally painted throughout (2023), and hardwood flooring throughout most of the home. Conveniently situated, 717 Ashford is near parks, restaurants, and shopping. Additionally, the home is easily accessible to I-95, offering a quick commute to downtown Wilmington, Philadelphia, New York, Washington DC, and Baltimore.
