Property Description
Welcome to 473 Polly Drummond Road, where a perfect mix of historical charm and modern amenities await! This meticulously crafted Victorian farmhouse style property sits on 1.5 acres in the beautiful Pike Creek Valley. Built around 1900, and lovingly renovated by its current owners, this home has quality finishes throughout. You are immediately welcomed by the charming covered front porch and quintessential Victorian architecture. Upon entering the home, you will notice quality wide plank hardwood flooring that flows throughout a majority of the home. The attention to detail and finishing touches, such as the original decorative victorian ceiling medallions, extra wide trim throughout, rounded wall corners, curved hallway ceiling moldings, original exposed wood accents, wainscoting, wood and iron crafted handrails, and other well thought out finishes show the care and diligence that the owners put into this home. A formal living room, den, office or playroom is just off the entrance. The dining space is perfect for hosting dinner parties and holiday celebrations. Continue into the heart of the home - the kitchen. You will find custom wood cabinetry and original wood beams, both made from original wood from the property, plus plenty of countertop space, custom backsplash, luxury hard surface countertops, an extra wide farmhouse sink, eat-in island with second sink, a built-in pot filler tap above the stove, modern light fixtures and recessed lighting. Off of the kitchen is an eat-in kitchen area, walk-in pantry, mudroom, and powder room. Through the charming wood barn doors is a large recently added living room addition with cathedral ceilings, plenty of windows and doors that allow for an abundance of natural light, and provides a rear deck and 2 car garage with interior access. Upstairs, the wood floors and farmhouse style charm continues. The bright and spacious primary suite has a 5 piece en suite bathroom with high-end timeless updates. This level also has two additional large bedrooms that are connected with a nicely appointed full bathroom. Don't miss the third floor of the home that can be finished for an additional bedroom and/or used for additional living or office space. The third full bathroom awaits finishing touches on the third floor. The appropriate electric, plumbing and duct work are already in place on the third floor. The basement has extra tall ceilings, perfect for storage, and could easily be finished in the future. All of the major components of this home have been updated where it matters most. This property is centrally located in the heart of Pike Creek and is close to Downtown Newark, University of Delaware, renowned hiking and biking trails, White Clay Creek State Park, popular shopping, fine dining and more.
