Own a stunning piece of Delaware history in the highly sought-after Northwest Neighborhood, just steps from downtown. Built circa 1867, this beautifully renovated 3-course brick home blends historic character with modern comfort & has been successfully operated as a profitable short-term rental, as well as a cherished primary residence. Offering nearly 2,700 sq ft of living space, the home underwent a $100,000+ renovation in 2020, allowing the next owner to move right in with confidence. Thoughtful updates complement original charm throughout. The custom kitchen is designed for entertaining and features quartz countertops, a butcher block island, stainless steel appliances, an exposed brick pass-thru to the dining room, eat-in space, beautiful Italian-made lit cabinets & drawers, and a gas range. Bamboo + engineered hardwood flooring add warmth & durability. The flexible floor plan includes 3 spacious bedrooms + 2 full bathrooms upstairs, with a convenient half bath & laundry on the main level -- an efficient gas tankless hot water heater is a wonderful luxury. A large sunroom provides the perfect space for movie nights, game days, or a secondary dining area. Hand selected chandeliers add timeless beauty to every room. Two furnaces + two air conditioning units allow for efficient, comfortable temperature control on each level. Outside, enjoy a fenced backyard shaded by a beautiful canopy of mature trees. The former rear carport has been converted into a patio ideal for relaxing or entertaining, with additional storage provided by two sheds. Located along an alley known for neighborhood charm (and the occasional albino squirrel sighting), this home offers both privacy & character. Watch the All Horse Parade from your front yard, enjoy summer jazz on West Lincoln, walk or ride a bike to the Mingo park + pool, and walk to downtown Delaware's shops, dining, and events. Pet friendly area. Well maintained and truly special! Agents are sellers.
