Property Description

Tucked away on a quiet cul-de-sac in North Wilmington and just a short walk to Bonsall Park, this home offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience. Thoughtfully renovated throughout, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath colonial with a sunroom, finished basement and 2-car attached garage delivers space, style, and comfort at every turn. The spacious foyer with a large coat closet flows seamlessly into the main living areas. The light-filled living room features crown molding and a wood-burning fireplace with a classic mantel, while French doors lead to a sunroom with heated tile floors and a slider to the wood deck and brick patio—perfect for indoor-outdoor living. The formal dining room overlooks the private backyard and is accented with chair rail and crown molding. The renovated eat-in kitchen shines with new stainless-steel appliances, granite countertops, subway tile backsplash, recessed lighting, tile flooring, white cabinetry, and a coffee bar with bonus storage. A den/family room with a second wood-burning fireplace and built-ins offers flexible space for a home office, playroom, or lounge. A fully renovated powder room with modern, neutral finishes completes the main level. Upstairs are four generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite features three double closets and a stunning renovated ensuite bath with tile flooring, a 48-inch vanity, and a floor-to-ceiling tiled shower with dual showerheads, including rainfall, plus a built-in shelf and bench. The hall bath is fully renovated with a tub/shower combination, tile surround, and rain showerhead. The hallway offers access to storage via a bonus closet, a separate linen closet and the attic. The finished basement adds additional living space with luxury vinyl plank flooring, recessed lighting, egress to the backyard, and abundant storage in the unfinished area. Additional highlights include a new roof, many replacement windows, hardwood floors throughout most of the home, new carpeting upstairs (with hardwoods underneath), and a storage shed. Conveniently located with easy access to Route 202, I-95, Philadelphia International Airport, Amtrak, and downtown Wilmington—ideal for commuting to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., and New York. Move-in ready and thoughtfully renovated in one of North Wilmington’s most desirable locations—schedule your tour today!
