Property Description
Irresistible charm on Irving Dr.! This masterfully crafted, 3 BR/2.5 bath brick Colonial has both appealing amenities and alluring charm! It is nestled in the coveted community of Brandywine Hills, where tree-lined streets and ribbons of sidewalks run parallel to sprawling lawns and exclusive homes. Centrally located in this unique community, in sought-after N. Wilm. niche, borders Matson Run Park, steps away from Delaware Greenway Trails which connects to Can-do Playground, and 2 blocks from Rockwood Park and Museum. Plus, easy access to I-95, 10 mins. to City of Wilm./Amtrak Train Station and 25 mins. to Phil. Airport. Remarkable renovations create modern, must-have home and include new roof with ridge vent/quartz countertops/backsplash/SS appliances/W & D/bonus room, regraded landscaping/driveway, fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, updated PR, repointed chimney, plus updates of grounded 3-prong outlets, regraded/sealed shower, quarter round and more! This classic red-brick home is accented with black shutters, arched millwork above front door and 2 free-standing columns with 2 columns flushed against front of home to create delightful, covered, elevated, brick entry. Driveway positioned to right leads back to turned 1-car garage preserving home’s front curb appeal, while landscaped beds line home on all sides providing panoramic greenery splashed with vibrant color. Front door opens to beautiful, dark-grain hardwood floors and staircase that provide subtle contrast to creamy linen paint. Oversized entrance to right leads into DR, where chair rail modestly divides neutral cream paint from soft sunshine yellow paint and 2 shade-style pendant lights offer inviting glow. Kitchen sits beyond DR and features blend of Kenmore/Samsung/KitchenAid black/SS appliances including flat cooktop/microwave. Oak cabinets and new hue of dove gray quartz countertop are paired with coordinating gray, polished, Travertine subway tile backsplash, which is uniquely extended around window creating distinctive frame. Enjoy convenient built-in beverage refrigerator that offers without-disruption easy access of chilled bottles of wine or cold beer for friends’ gatherings. PR has contemporary edge with its square-basin pedestal sink, Travertine tile floor and cylinder lighting. Unfinished LL offers tons of storage along with utility sink/Samsung top loader W & D! To left of foyer is sweeping, front-to-back LR sheathed in pale green. In fact, this room is easily large enough to divide into spacious conversation area just in front of black brick wood-burning FP with white wood millwork surround, and beyond for enchanting reading nook. Its multiple windows keep room naturally light, and sizable back wall space makes it perfect for shelving or bookcases. Step down into quaint, dove-gray, tile floored den with wood-trimmed windows opposite each other on both front and back walls, providing differing yet lovely views. Great off-the-hub-of-the-house space! 2nd level boasts 2 secondary BRs with elegant 2-panel doors, new ceiling fans, warm-hued paint and hardwood floors. Full bath touts beige ceramic tile floor and all-tile shower with scrolled border, ideally complimenting streamlined white vanity with silver hardware. MBR is not only spacious but features 4 closets, offering at-your-fingertips year-around wardrobes and accessories. Touch of old-world charm is most assuredly showcased with an endearing window seat. Perfect place to curl up and catch up on reading! Adjoining master bath is on-point for today’s trends of pedestal sink, ceramic tile floor and seamless glass, all-tile shower with black/cream/cobalt blue ceramic glass border. Striking! Backyard is circle of serenity! It is enclave of towering trees, robust hedges and thriving plants that envelope one in peacefulness. Flat, level lawn begs for outdoor games, afternoon BBQS and evening relaxation. Ultimate charm, utmost convenience on Irving Dr.!
