Welcome to the elegance of a former era in the classic and friendly neighborhood of Wawaset Park. Homes like this are no longer built today. From the covered porch with the balcony above to the dormer windows peeking from the architectural shingled roof you will be charmed. Enter the foyer and immediately notice the stunning original well-kept wood floors, the curved banister leading to the landing where you can look over the beautiful back yard. To your right the living room is a “just right” size with built-in bookcases gracing French doors opening to the deck, and a wood burning fireplace for cozy evenings. Beyond that a sunroom addition provides multi-purpose entertaining or office space. The sun streams into the dining room where you’ll notice wainscoting and crown molding. Behind the dining room is a very large kitchen renovated approximately in the 90’s, with plentiful cabinets and counter space, and eat-in banquet and built in Subzero refrigerator and double stainless steel ovens. A family room addition creates the open living concept preferred today by many homeowners. Vaulted ceilings, fresh paint, a gas fireplace with brick hearth and floor to ceiling mullioned windows allow you to use this room from everything from movie nights to games and entertaining from the backyard. This area also accesses the detached garage which holds one car but also has fully planked walk up storage. A newly painted powder room completes this floor. Access the 2nd level from either the back kitchen stairs or the main staircase. You’ll find 3 bedrooms on the 2nd level all with wonderful wood floors and beautiful light. There is a hall bathroom with tub and one en-suite bath with shower. On the 3rd level you’ll find two more bedrooms and a newer bath with shower making a wonderful guest retreat. The lower level holds the laundry room and plentiful storage. The furnace is approximately 14 years old, as is the roof. Completing the home and perhaps one of the more appealing parts of this specific location is the lovely backyard. Not all homes in Wawaset boast back yards of this size. There is a very large wooden deck for your grill, accessed by the living or family room (providing circular flow for parties) and a fully fenced yard with easy to maintain border gardens where pets and humans alike will be able to enjoy beautiful Delaware days. This classic home allows you to enjoy the features of the Wawaset era, some already updated amenities and room to add your own personal enhancements for today’s living. Did we also mention that Wawaset is known to be one of the most walkable communities in the area? Meet your neighbors and their pets, make new friends on your first day. Make your showing tour today!
