Property Description
Notch above home in N. Wilmington! Primely positioned solid brick masonry 3 BRs/3 bath beautifully
landscaped Cape Cod features private backyard, faces picturesque Rockwood Park, and is nestled among
one-of-a-kind stately homes in sought after N. Wilmington suburbia. This 1-level living home presents
unbelievable views and unmatched location with DE Greenway trails just steps away, 5 mins. to
I-95/Rt 202 corridor, 10 mins. to Wilm. Amtrak Train station, and just 25 mins. south of Philadelphia
Airport. Line of mulched beds borders front yard/street, and blends into level yard with ornamental tree
providing umbrella of shade in center and dual-width driveway and slightly recessed 2-car garage
adjacent. Trio of cone-shaped evergreens sits on one side of elevated, trellis-edged front porch, while
single evergreen anchors corner of home, providing symmetry. Front door opens to delightful foyer with
original hardwood floors, beige paint accented with chair rail, high ceiling, and views through to main
rooms. This right-size foyer extends a welcome with roomy dual closet to left. Step up into spacious,
sunlit LR where lovely stone wood-burning FP instantly delivers warmth, enhanced by continued neutral
paint and hardwoods as backdrop, while dual window offers views to vibrant greenery in front yard and
bonus parkland beyond. DR sits past LR, and its signature component is beautiful bow window with deep
ledge for blooms and baskets gracing back wall. It simultaneously floods room with natural light and
frames beauty of backyard. DR wraps to kitchen, which features maple cabinets aptly finished to ceiling,
suite of Frigidaire SS appliances including flat cooktop, and ceiling fan. Handsome paneled
den/office/playroom is on opposite side of home and offers sizable square footage and echoes serene
views from DR. This level also showcases ground-floor BR of DD closet, hardwoods, lots of natural light,
and is ideally located next to full bath, which lays claim to mix of retro tile and modern pedestal sink.
Perfect pairing! Turned hardwood staircase leads up hardwood-floored 2 nd level with spacious secondary
BR and 3 rd BR/primary suite with full bath of echoed retro tile and cabinet vanity that offers plenty of
places to stash towels/toiletries conveniently positioned neatly in the middle. Secondary BR features
dormer that poses perfect alcove for bureau/desk, allowing one to capitalize on the space, and roomy
walk-in closet. 3 rd BR/Primary suite is also large, offering DD closet, along with separate room with door
that is flex space. Use it as walk-in closet, computer nook, or dressing room! Finished LL is huge win of
extra space! Enjoy 2 big ceramic tile floored rooms, while DD grant access to ample laundry room of dual
utility sink and access to backyard. Plus, note a full bath! There’s a bathroom on every level in the home!
Tucked off kitchen is easy access to not only spacious 2-car garage with shelving/ceiling fan but also to
gem of home. This all-window sun porch that spans back of home is warm seasons’ getaway and offers
in-place, on-point all-around venue. Enjoy everything from casual conversations and coffee to friends’
gathering and dining. Appreciate sights to rock-edged landscaped beds, groups of thriving shrubs and
vibrantly colored flowers, and grove of trees perched on perimeter of backyard that provides natural
screen of privacy. Remarkable home on Rockwood Rd.!
