Description
Welcome to this nicely updated Cape Cod home in the established Collins Park neighborhood. Renovated in 2017, the home offers a great mix of classic style and modern updates. Inside, you’ll find upgraded countertops, recessed lighting, and a combination of laminate plank and carpeted flooring. The layout includes three bedrooms and two full bathrooms—one with a tub and one with a stall shower—providing flexibility for your needs. The kitchen is updated with premium Wolf cabinetry, a tile backsplash, and stainless steel appliances including a dishwasher, microwave, and refrigerator. Laundry is conveniently located on the upper level. There is also a den/office on the main level that could be used as an additional bedroom (minus a closet). Major systems offer peace of mind: the roof, heater, and water heater were all new when the seller purchased the home in 2018; the AC compressor was replaced in April 2025; and a brand new sewer line was installed in March 2025. The bones of this house are strong. Situated on a corner lot, the property includes a front, side, and backyard—ideal for relaxing or entertaining. A private driveway offers off-street parking for multiple vehicles. This home is close to parks, schools, and local amenities. Commuting is easy with a SEPTA commuter rail station approximately 6 miles away, a bus stop within a mile, and Wilmington Airport (ILG) less than 5 miles from your doorstep. It’s a solid home in a convenient location—ready for you to move in and make it your own.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
