Welcome to 722 Nottingham Road, nestled in Wilmington’s highly desirable Wawaset Park—a National Historic District originally developed by the DuPont Company in the late 1910s. Designed by architect Edward L. Palmer, Jr. with inspiration from Frederick Law Olmsted, this picturesque planned community is famous for its tree-lined, winding streets, lush landscaping, and vibrant neighborhood feel. This classic twin home seamlessly blends historic character with modern comfort, offering original hardwood floors and solid five-panel doors with elegant trim. The spacious living room features extensive built-in cabinetry, a wood-burning fireplace, and triple windows overlooking Nottingham Road. Folding French doors open to a formal dining room with chair rail and crown molding, while another set of French doors lead to a sunroom with parquet flooring, ceiling fan, and views of the gorgeous rear yard courtesy of the walls of windows and large sliding door. French doors connect the sunroom directly back to the dining area, creating an effortless layout for entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with granite countertops, double-bowl sink, stainless steel appliances, extensive cabinetry with abundant storage, and five casement windows with bright views of the backyard. Head upstairs to find three bedrooms and a renovated hall bath with a spacious Corian counter vanity, beadboard accents, and a custom tile shower with dual shower heads. The third level features a fourth bedroom, a bright skylight, and three hall storage closets. Outside, the fully fenced rear yard serves as a private oasis and bird lover's paradise, complete with a custom concrete and brick patio, luscious landscaping framed by a low stacked stone border and mature privacy trees. Additional highlights include a full basement with a laundry area, utility sink, powder room, and workspace. Experience early 20th-century architectural charm in one of Delaware’s most iconic historic neighborhoods. Schedule your tour today! Recent updates include: Roof, gutters, downspouts & attic fan - 2021. Bosch gas condensing boiler - 2019 (with transferrable warranty). Whole house dehumidifier - 2021. Bosch dishwasher - 2025. Electric range - 2022.
Wawaset Park, located between Delaware Avenue and Lancaster Avenue, is a historic and residential Wilmington neighborhood with curving park drives and a canopy of mature trees. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the green at Wawaset Park, where walkers loop the paths and porch-lined streets frame the scene. Early-20th-century Tudors, Colonials, and stone cottages set a cohesive architectural rhythm along winding lanes. BrewHaHa! Coffeehouse anchors a café routine nearby, while The Grand Opera House and Delaware Art Museum add a cultural throughline close to home. Sidewalks and pocket greens shape an outdoors-forward daily cadence, with Brandywine Park and Rockford Park extending the landscape.
