Property Description
This 4-bedroom stone home in Alapocas has retained all of its original charm and character, providing a fantastic opportunity for the new owner to honor certain features while making updates to meet today's functionality and style. Built in 1954, and owned by the same family since then, the spacious floor plan was designed for comfort, sophistication and entertaining. The covered front entrance has a built-in bench on one side which is typical of many of the homes in this coveted, picturesque neighborhood. Step inside and you are welcomed into the foyer of this classic Colonial where you will notice the random width, pegged hardwood floors which continue throughout the home. The large formal living room on the left has handsome millwork including crown molding, chair rail, and a wood-burning fireplace is the focal point with elegant dentil molding. From here you can access the enclosed screened porch; a lovely seasonal extension of your living or entertaining space! The dining room is on the other side of the entryway and it has a beautiful built-in corner cabinet to store and display your favorite pieces. The kitchen is a step back in time with the original cabinets, a cast iron sink with drainboard, and a vintage oven!! But the best part is right around the corner…an adorable breakfast booth with a great retro vibe is the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee! A powder room and a wood-paneled den complete this level. Upstairs, there are four bedrooms; the largest of which is the Primary Bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The other three bedrooms share a full bathroom conveniently located at the top of the stairs. The attic can be accessed via pull-down stairs, and is surprisingly large. A turned garage supports your parking and storage needs, and is positioned in such a way so that you can navigate coming and going from the driveway with ease. An entrance to the kitchen from the back side of the house here is functional and convenient. There is also a stone patio and lots of yard to enjoy! Now is the perfect time to purchase a home in Alapocas that you can make completely your own! Located on a quiet street just a few blocks from Wilmington Friends School, and within walking distance to trails, this home is waiting for a Buyer who is ready and willing to take on renovations.
