This listing has been updated to include the adjacent 2.48-acre parcel (known as 112 Kirk) with Carriage House and 2 BR Guest Cottage. The circa 1890 Delaware Blue Granite Carriage House features an open garage area for 7+ vehicles with 12' ceilings, antiques horse stalls, and a stunning 50' x 43' party-room loft with views over Wilmington Country Club's golf course. The 2-bedroom Caretaker's Cottage complements the exceptional architecture of the carriage house.

The main floor retains its original elegance with arched doorways, pegged random width floors, original millwork, and three antique fireplaces. A newly updated gourmet kitchen sits at the heart of the home with tiger maple cabinetry, custom copper hood, top-of-the-line appliances, large island, and breakfast area that seats 6. Access the sprawling 24' x 95' terrace that spans the kitchen, formal living room, and family room, providing a perfect entertainment area that overlooks the expansive rear yard, pond, and gazebo. The second level houses the luxurious owner's suite including a large bedroom with fireplace, his and hers bathrooms, and individual dressing areas. Additional bedrooms and baths on the second and third floors provide plenty of room for family and guests.
