From the moment you arrive, this home captures your heart with its classic brick walkway and antique mailbox—a hint of the character that awaits inside. Step through the front door and be pleasantly surprised by the spacious layout and opportunities to expand. While currently a 2-bedroom, this home can easily be transformed into a 3-bedroom with minimal effort. The welcoming foyer leads you to a stunning staircase with original hardwood floors that echo the home's history and charm. To the left, you'll find a generous living room with a cozy wood-burning fireplace—ideal for relaxing evenings or converting into a beautiful primary suite, conveniently located just steps from a roomy powder room. Adjacent to the living room is a charming enclosed porch, perfect as a study, home office, or reading nook. From there, you’ll enter a massive great room that spans the width of the house—an entertainer’s dream! Whether hosting friends or enjoying a quiet night in, this space is the heart of the home. The layout includes two dining areas—one of which functions beautifully as an eat-in kitchen. The kitchen features rich, dark cabinetry, sleek black appliances, and a door with direct access to the garage. Upstairs, you’ll find two generously sized bedrooms with ample closet space and a full bathroom. The powder room on the main floor is large enough to be converted into an additional full bath, offering even more value. The unfinished basement provides fantastic potential for a workshop, hobby space, or extra storage, along with a designated laundry area. Step outside through sliding glass doors from the great room onto a private patio and into a plush, peaceful backyard—ideal for gardening, entertaining, or simply enjoying the outdoors. The home owner planted zoysia in the front and backyard that is like walking on cushion carpets. This home is a minute from Conrad HS, DMA, 141 to 95N or 95S. There are plenty of restaurants, grocery stores and a short drive to Delaware Beaches and Shopping.
