See where life could take you in this historic single family home in Old New Castle! This spacious home has character, history, charm, and best of all it's got modern touches that make it feel like new! Haven't visited Old New Castle? You've got to check it out! It is home to many of Delaware's historic celebrations such as Separation day and a day in Old New Castle, where you can take part in festivities that are themed to the time when the town was founded in the 1600's. The Strand is located adjacent to the Delaware River and is a short walk to restaurants, pubs, art galleries, museums, 2 parks, and 'the green' where holiday events are held throughout the season. This glorious piece of history dates back before it was rebuilt in 1850 and was once known as the Governors Mansion. More recently into the 19th and 20th century it was passed through the King family and named the King house. Inside the home you'll find the original 12' wood floors and plaster walls as well as the spiral staircases and wooden barn-style doors. While leaving the historic beauty, the home has been well cared for and updated over the years with the latest and greatest electrical wiring, furnace, and brand new cedar siding with insulation and window flashing. The kitchen is light with white cabinets and granite counters and is fully equipped with all appliances. Formal dining room is right next to the kitchen, and is large enough to entertain at the holidays. Down the hall is the great room with the best feature next door to that... a large enclosed screen porch with Delaware River views! Back inside you can head upstairs via two different original spiral staircases. 2nd floor has the Master bedroom and bath, another full bath, a second bedroom, and a third enormous bedroom big enough for two to share! 3rd floor has a spacious area for a game room, then a 4th bedroom with walk-in closets. The home has a full unfinished basement available for extra storage and has original foundation features you can enjoy that will tickle any history buff's fancy! Outside the yard is lush and green and fully fenced privately. You'll enjoy a gardening area, paver patio, and the fresh breeze from the Delaware River that on a summer day will keep you cool for hours. So put this historic gem on your tour today, and consider a home that can offer you a completely unique and memorable kind of life. **Home will be open this Saturday for The Spirit of Christmas (12/10 from 11-4).
