Property Description

516 Ruxton Drive offers classic North Wilmington charm on a wide, level .52-acre lot surrounded by mature trees. From the curb, this split-level home welcomes you with a red front door, manicured front lawn, and an established setting that feels timeless. Around back, the home opens up beautifully with a glass three-season room, composite deck, paver patio, and a generous yard that backs to mature woods. Inside, refinished oak hardwood floors run through the living room, dining room, and main-level bedroom wing. The living room features a stone-faced gas fireplace and a wide bank of windows that brings in great natural light. The dining room connects through a cased opening and includes a built-in buffet, adding both charm and function. The kitchen features full-overlay cherry cabinets, quartz counters, a green and gray glass-tile backsplash, stainless refrigerator, smooth-top range, peninsula seating, and an additional breakfast bar. A glass door leads directly to the back deck, making indoor-outdoor living easy. The main level includes three bedrooms, all with hardwood floors and ceiling fans. The primary bedroom features a private bath with a tile walk-in shower, frameless glass door, and built-in bench. The hall bath includes a deep soaking tub with a curved rod and coordinating tile finish. A cedar-lined closet off the hallway adds excellent seasonal storage. The lower level offers a true second living space with a carpeted rec room, recessed lighting, brick wood-burning fireplace with brass doors, and a built-in bar with seating for four. A separate area is currently used as a home gym. This level also includes a half bath, utility room with tankless water heater, and walkout side entrance to the yard. The three-season room spans the rear of the home with sliders on three sides, indoor-outdoor carpet, and a ceiling fan. Outside, the composite deck stretches across the back of the home and leads to a brick paver patio overlooking the mostly flat lawn and wooded backdrop. Additional features include a two-car attached garage and a long asphalt driveway with room for additional parking. Located in the Brandywine School District with easy access to I-95, Concord Pike, Marsh Road, downtown Wilmington, the Pennsylvania line, and Philadelphia International Airport.
