Description

Authentic, brick Colonial era townhome in the heart of the Old New Castle Historic District. This circa 1740 home has all the historic features, yet boasts modern updates. The main level has a double parlor with 2 wood burning fireplaces just off the entrance hall. Next is the dining room with another wood burning fireplace with the original cooking crane. The gourmet kitchen has a 48" gas range, Dacor range hood, 48" Subzero refrigerator/freezer, cherry cabinets, granite countertops, exposed brick wall and more. Just off the kitchen is the spacious, screened porch that overlooks the charming backyard gardens. There are 2 staircases to the upper floors which offer lots of flexibility. You can use a bedroom on the second floor or the third floor as the primary bedroom. There are 2 other rooms that can be bedrooms, office, study or any other use you can imagine. The 2 full baths have been updated. The third floor bedroom has exposed beams, dormer windows and a great "retreat" feel. There are 2 more fireplaces in 2 of the second floor rooms. Historic features include random width hardwood floors throughout, high ceilings, original woodwork and hardware, crown molding and chair rails. The heat and air conditioning system for the first and second floors was just replaced in November, 2024. The third floor has a ductless system. The basement offers lots of storage space.
