Property Description
Welcome to 57 Rockford Road, a beautifully updated 3-bedroom, 3.5-bath brick townhome ideally situated in the heart of Wilmington's coveted Highlands neighborhood-just steps from Rockford Park, the Delaware Art Museum, and the Trolley Square dining and retail district. This charming and well-maintained home offers modern upgrades, custom features, and a rare blend of comfort, style, and versatility in one of the city's most desirable and walkable neighborhoods. Boasting 2,050 sq. ft. of refined living space, this home was thoughtfully updated throughout, including: 2019-2020: Renovated kitchen with granite countertops, custom cabinetry, Sub-Zero refrigerator, new range, and microwave; 2021: Fully finished walkout lower level with new flooring and a stunning new full bathroom, ideal as a guest suite, in-law quarters, entertainment zone, or income-generating rental; 2023: Entire interior professionally painted 2025: Bathrooms refreshed throughout the home; 2025: New HVAC motor installed. Additional Features: Laundry/mud room connects the oversized garage directly to the interior, offering seamless entry after tending the front garden or enjoying nearby trails. The main level showcases rich hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, built-in bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and striking pocket French doors leading to a truly unique sunroom-unlike anything else in the neighborhood-featuring oversized skylights and a natural slate floor. French doors from the sunroom and lower level open to a private, fenced backyard with a covered patio-ideal for summer dinners or morning coffee. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and updated en-suite bathroom, with two additional bedrooms and a refreshed hall bath completing the level. A main-level half bath adds convenience. The lower level offers rare flexibility-easily used as a rental unit, rec room, guest suite, or expansive home office with its own full bath and direct outdoor access. Best of all, there are no community fees-providing more flexibility and control without the extra cost. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready, thoughtfully upgraded townhome with 3.5 bathrooms, character, walkability, and strong potential for secondary income-all in one of Wilmington's most treasured neighborhoods. Don't miss your chance to make 57 Rockford Road yours.
