Bellefonte! The eye-catching exterior of this handsome Bungalow is charming. Not to disappoint, the interior is equally appealing. The well-sized covered front porch invites you to sit and "relax a spell" while taking in the comforting scent of freshly cut grass. Built in 1923, the original hardwood floors lie beneath the wall-to-wall looped carpeting found throughout most of the house. However, not everything is as it was. Updated double-hung insulated windows replaced the originals. In addition, there is now a combination of original five-panel doors and newer six-panel doors. With the long days of summer upon us, the NEW (2021) HVAC system is just another modern benefit to be appreciated by the new owners of this dotingly cared-for home. Neutral wall and coordinated trim colors are the norms in every room. The front bedrooms have the added benefit of a lighted ceiling fan. The back bedroom currently serves as a laundry and mudroom, since it has a nine-lite security door that opens out to the NEW rear deck and down to the driveway and the perfectly sized yard below. The kitchen in this move-in-ready house features coordinated white appliances, a lighted ceiling fan, a storage closet, an ample supply of cabinets, and two side-by-side windows over the stainless-steel sink. And finally, the near-spotless basement has both interior and exterior access points and a French drain with a sump pump. This is a great opportunity for a serious buyer. The proximity to 95, 495, Amtrak/SEPTA, Downtown Wilmington, the Riverfront, and all of Brandywine Hundred are additional reasons to make this intriguing property your new home. NEW 50-gallon Hot Water Heater installed on Friday, June 3, 2022!
