Description

Welcome to Delaware City, a historic, water oriented small town just to the north of the C&D Canal, where parks, shopping and services are within an easy stroll. This customized, ranch home is available for the first time, and while it may appear tiny to a passerby, it is packed with storage, unique features, updates and upgrades. Step up from the covered, cheerful side entry to the light and bright kitchen, with 42" maple cabinets, hard surface countertops, ceramic tile flooring, peninsula seating for 4 and volume ceiling created by the large skylight. The kitchen overlooks an ample sized living room. The laundry/mechanical room/office serves to divide the public space from the bedrooms and the full bathroom with whirlpool tub and a comfort height double vanity. The primary bedroom situated at the end of the hall, is large enough for a king size bed, and features an impressive dressing room/walk-in closet. A second bedroom completes the interior. Updates include a brand new HVAC system, new water heater, newer laundry appliances. BUT, there's more; a lot more! Step out from the kitchen sliding door onto the rear deck with an inset small goldfish pond to take in all of the fully fenced outdoor space that this property has to offer. An air conditioned 20x12' shed, with water service is perfect for crafts, hobbies, or office/work space. It also serves to provide privacy from neighbors for the deck. The 36x24' 3-bay garage is a car enthusiast's dream. One of the bays has full second level storage. (2 post lift and crane included.) A large garden shed (24x12') will house all of the yard tools, and then some. And a lovely shaded, terraced patio, with colorful blooms is begging for your next garden party. (The in-ground, liner pool will require work to restore, or could be filled in.) All of this on a very generous half acre lot. This home is just minutes to K-8 public schools, and an easy drive to north/south corridors. The adjoining property at 513 Clinton Street is also for sale. Purchase this property separately or it could be perfect for investors to add to their rental portfolios. Live in one and rent the other, or rent both. Being sold "as-is" and furnishings (except for misc. staging items) will convey.

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.
