Welcome to this charming Cape Cod nestled on a serene 1.43-acre lot. As you approach, you'll notice the freshly paved, double-width driveway leading to a spacious multi-car garage. The front yard is beautifully landscaped with a cozy patio area, perfect for enjoying your morning coffee surrounded by nature. Inside, the home has been thoughtfully updated and lovingly maintained. Step into the bright, inviting kitchen featuring a double sink, stainless steel appliances, a hood over the stove, and a large window that bathes the space in natural light. Straight ahead, a practical utility/mudroom connects to the expansive garage, while the adjoining dining nook offers a sunlit bay window overlooking the property. Hardwood floors flow seamlessly into the family room, where a classic brick wood-burning fireplace creates a warm and welcoming gathering space. The main level includes two well-sized bedrooms and a full bath with a tub. Upstairs, the Cape Cod charm continues with two additional bedrooms and a second full bath with a stall shower. Recent renovations in 2023 completely reimagined the upper floor, taken down to the studs for a fresh, modern finish. Step outside onto the private deck patio surrounded by mature trees and a privacy fence. The square, wooded lot feels like a retreat, complete with a storage shed and frequent visits from deer, foxes, and birds. This home isn’t just charming—it’s also packed with updates. Between 2020 and 2024, the owners invested in significant improvements: Anderson windows and a wood-burning stove (2020), ductless mini-splits throughout (2021), new insulated siding and windows (2022), full insulation, new roof, garage remodel, and upstairs renovation (2023), plus a basement French drain system with triple sump pumps (one battery backup), new basement windows, repointed patios, and complete property regrading for rainwater management (2024). These upgrades ensure modern efficiency and peace of mind for years to come. Location adds another layer of appeal. You’re just minutes from the University of Delaware, Milburn Orchards, and major routes like 896, 72, and I-95. Shopping at Christiana Mall, dining, and entertainment are all nearby, with easy drives to the Chesapeake Inn, Philadelphia Airport, and some of the area’s most popular parks and trails. Come experience the perfect blend of serene living and everyday convenience—this move-in-ready Cape Cod truly has it all!
