This beautiful 1930's, stately brick colonial home has been carefully updated, preserving the period details and character. The main level features an impressive center hall entrance, flanked by a formal living room with wood burning fireplace and formal dining room with bay window. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances, granite counter tops and a separate eating nook with bay window that overlooks a stone terrace and garden . This level not only offers a half bath for added convenience, but also boasts views of the river (complete with it's passing ships) that also overlooks the gardens and gazebo -- all from a beautiful 3 season room. The upper level features an owner's bedroom with multiple closets, a private updated ceramic tile bath complete with a Carrera marble shower floor, and several windows which allow lots of light to fill the room. There are 3 additional generous sized bedrooms; one bedroom features outside access to a 'widows walk', which overlooks the front yard with it's many ornamental evergreens. There is a 2nd full updated ceramic hallway bath on this level, for the 3 additional bedrooms to share. The entire home features original hardwood floors, beautiful molding details and original solid wood doors -- all with the original hardware in tact! There is a walk up attic, which could be converted to considerably more living space, a full basement with outside entrance, a large freshly-painted shed, and also a 2 car garage (rear entry) which is introduced by beautifully-appointed, large driveway gates. The interior of the home has been freshly painted throughout, and also offers new interior light fixtures and Kohler bath fixtures. The grounds have been impeccably landscaped, all surrounded by a stately, black aluminum fence -- front and sides, which continues into a lovely, white vinyl privacy fence in the rear. This home is truly a mini estate, conveniently located in North Wilmington, sits near the Delaware River, train stations and main thoroughfares, and offers easy accessibility to the city of Wilmington and center city Philadelphia.
