Though surrounded by historical significance, this property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of the past with modern-day freedom—listed on the National Historic Register without the limitations of a historic overlay Carefully restored, the home masterfully blends original architectural charm, including wide-plank hardwood floors, dual working fireplaces, and hand-crafted finishes, with the comforts and convenience of today’s living. Featuring five spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this home offers plenty of room for family and guests. A flexible first-floor primary suite—ideal for in-laws or as a private guest retreat—provides ultimate convenience. With a newly added second-floor balcony, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the lush grounds and serene riverfront. For added ease, the property includes a new detached garage, first-floor laundry, and plenty of usable space. The expansive backyard serves as a peaceful oasis, with a charming gazebo, a garden shed, and wide-open green areas that are perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquil river setting. Located in the sought-after Christina School District, this home is minutes away from Christiana Mall, Christiana Hospital, White Clay Creek State Park, and I-95, offering a rare combination of quiet riverfront living with easy access to nearby amenities and major highways.
