Welcome to 194 ½ Brecks Lane. Located on a beautiful one-way street in the heart of Greenville, this one-of-a-kind 3-story brick home with over 3,800 sq feet of living space is a short walk to Hagley Museum and Brandywine Creek. Situated on a sizable, lot lined with mature trees and overlooking a stream, this property backs up to a protected 3 acre meadow owned by the Brecks Lane Association. The original home was built in 1930, and has been thoughtfully added to over the years to create this gorgeous 4 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath home. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by a brick-floored foyer and grand center staircase. To the right is an office/study with a wood-burning fireplace and built-in book cases and desk. To the left is a formal living/dining room, also with a wood-burning fire place. Continue through the formal spaces to access both the sun room and family room from either side. The light-filled, large,open family/dining room combo is an addition that features a cathedral ceiling and a wood-burning fireplace. Large sliding glass doors give access to the deck and breathtaking views of the yard and meadow. The kitchen is huge and was built with the chef in mind. Modern appliances, skylights, a breakfast nook, and bamboo floors make this one of the most popular rooms in the house. The kitchen features a large sliding-glass door with access to the deck and a breezeway leads to the 2-car garage. Off the kitchen is a laundry room and large butler’s pantry. A half bath completes the first floor. As you make your way up the steps to the second floor, to the right there is the primary bedroom with large walk-through closets that feature a built-in desk. The full primary bathroom features dual sinks, and a separate jet-tub and shower. Also on the second floor, there is another bedroom with a full bathroom. Following the second set of steps to the third floor, there are two generously sized bedrooms, with beautiful views of the yard and meadow, on either side with another full bathroom in between. Off of the family room and kitchen is a large composite deck. A formal flag stone patio sits on the side of the house, off the sun room, for an additional gathering space. The sun room features a bar sink and wine refrigerator, making this the perfect entertaining patio. The basement features a semi-finished bonus room and full egress. This is a well-maintained home with central air and an efficient boiler As an owner, you will become a part of Brecks Lane, which was added to the National Historic Register in 1971, and a member of the Brecks Lane Association. This home is within walking distance to Rockford Park, Trolley Square and is centrally located close to Greenville, Downtown Wilmington, Amtrak and all major corridors.
