Above the Delaware! The truly handsome exterior of this Dutch Colonial home (with NCC non-conforming 4 unit variance) along with a nearly two-acre backdrop of lush, mature greenery and spectacular river views, only hints at the eye-catching interior features that welcome friends and family alike. The appeal of this 115-year-old residence is timeless. Inspired by the magnificent tucked-away location, the architect created a delightfully expansive residence that is completely at home in the 21st century. The notable highlights are numerous, including a huge period dining room complete with fireplace and sitting area, an enormous eat-in kitchen with exterior access, a well-sized living room with fireplace, and an enclosed entry porch with multiple sets of sliders that open to the equally impressive deck. Original treasures can be found throughout this amazing property, including: the original Dutch door, chandeliers and light fixtures, hardwood flooring, solid paneled doors, layered moldings and built-ins, and fireplace mantels and tile surrounds. Not to be overlooked, this great property boasts many updates provided by the current residents, including over 60 new windows, a new in-ground heated pool, updated master bath, new deck and patio, and thoughtful landscaping in the middle of a new drive and circular parking area. There"s more! There are two wings of rooms flanking the kitchen that can accommodate a variety of needs. One generously sized wing provides a kitchenette and exterior access and the original two-story butler"s quarters features two bedrooms, a front exterior entrance and separate utilities. The second floor provides four generously sized bedrooms with two adjoining rooms having equal access to the enclosed turret. The entire third floor is currently configured as the master suite. The great location, close proximity to major roadways, neighborhood parks and everything the greater Brandywine Hundred area has to offer are additional reasons for you to make this great property your new home.
