Property Description
History and modern conveniences all in one beautiful package! The oldest section of this house, believed to have been built in the early 1800s was originally on E 3rd St next to the Dutch House. The kitchen and the bedroom above were moved to the present location in the 1930s. At that time, the foyer, dining room, second floor bath and bedroom were added. The final stage of construction began in 1988. The living room with fireplace was added to the main level and the primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom was constructed above. These 3 stages of construction give us the beautiful home we have today. One of the unique features is the side, screened porch that overlooks the Dutch House garden. You get to enjoy the beautiful view without all the work! The main level of the house features the kitchen, renovated in 2025 with new cabinets, new appliances and granite countertops, spacious foyer, large dining room, powder room and the living room that opens to the brick patio. Upstairs is the primary bedroom with attahed bathroom, 2nd bedroom and the 3rd bedroom or family room area. There is also a second full bath and a laundry. The partial basement houses the systems and storage area. There is a built-in shed next to the screened porch for additional storage. The large, fenced brick patio has plenty of room for relaxing, grilling and entertaining. The home has been lovingly maintained, so all you have to do is move in and enjoy all that this house and Old New Castle have to offer. You are just a short walk to Battery Park and the Delaware River, restaurants and shops, museums, public library and post office. Make your appointment today to visit this wonderful home.
