Property Description

Become a part of local and national history! Stonum, a National Historic Landmark was once the country home of George Read, Signer of the Declaration on Independence, U.S. Senator, Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Delaware 1793 and holder of many other offices during the early years of our democracy. The property was a 3 unit apartment building with a large garage. It has been opened up and will make a remarkable home. The property needs work, but could be a stately building. The Historic American Building Survey report from 1936 found noteworthy original features including corner fireplaces, detailed woodwork, elegant mantles, 1 1/2" red pine flooring, a wooden exterior cornice and 9 over 9 windows on the facade. The oldest section of the house dates to 1730 with additions prior to 1769 and one in 1850. Upon entering, you will appreciate the tall ceilings and expanse of the rooms. The original wood floors throughout the house are stunning. If your dream is to restore a truly historic treasure, then make your appointment to see this unique home. Property is vacant and easy to show. There are Delaware Tax Credits available for the renovation expenses.
