Property Description
Set on one of Sherwood Park's most desirable lots, 713 Dorcaster Drive offers classic mid-century charm, a thoughtful split-level design, and tremendous potential to make it your own. Built in 1956, this well-maintained home features three comfortable bedrooms, one full and one half bath, and a bright, inviting main level anchored by a large bay window that fills the living room with natural light. The open flow from the living room to the dining area and eat-in kitchen makes everyday living and entertaining effortless. Original hardwood floors lie preserved beneath the carpet on both the main and upper levels, ready to shine again with a simple refresh. The lower-level den offers a cozy retreat, ideal for a family room, home office, or workshop space, and includes a laundry area plus a convenient half bath. An attached garage provides inside access and extra storage. Recent updates include a new oil tank (2024), heating system (2011), and central air conditioning (2019). Outside, the home sits on an expansive flat lot with peaceful views, frequently visited by neighborhood deer. There's ample yard space for gardening, gatherings, or future expansion, all within a quiet, established community that remains close to everything. Enjoy easy access to Christiana Mall (1.7 mi), Christiana Hospital (1.4 mi), I-95 and Route 1, and everyday conveniences like local parks, grocery stores, coffee shops, and restaurants-all within a mile or two. With its solid bones, timeless layout, and unbeatable location, this Sherwood Park classic is the perfect canvas for your next home vision.
