Set within Delaware Hall Wilmington's original grand apartment residence and an Art Deco landmark now approaching its centennial Residence B6 offers a rare opportunity to live in one of the building's very limited two-bedroom layouts.
Positioned on a corner of the building, B6 enjoys windows on multiple sides with open views along Delaware Avenue and North Franklin Street, bringing in natural light throughout the day and giving the residence an airy, expansive feel from the moment you enter. What sets this home apart most, however, is its scale. The living room is exceptionally large, easily accommodating multiple seating areas, a dining arrangement, a home office, or a secondary lounge space, while the custom indirect ceiling lighting adds a warm modern layer that makes the room feel especially inviting. Hardwood floors run throughout, and the original mahogany doors have been carefully restored, preserving the craftsmanship and permanence that define Delaware Hall.
The kitchen has been fully renovated with granite countertops, brand-new stainless steel appliances, and contemporary backsplash accents that continue through to the dining area, creating a clean modern counterpoint to the building's historic bones. The result is not a generic renovation, but a thoughtful one something current and functional that still feels grounded in the larger character of the building.
Down the hall, the layout continues to make practical sense. A hallway bath serves guests without requiring anyone to pass through a bedroom, while the primary bedroom enjoys its own private bath. The second bedroom is well-proportioned, and the residence offers the kind of closet and storage capacity that makes daily living markedly easier.
This is not simply a larger apartment in a historic building. It is one of the rare Delaware Hall residences that truly combines space, light, flexibility, and architectural character in equal measure an apartment that feels substantial, distinctive, and increasingly hard to find.
And that location matters. Trolley Square remains Wilmington's most walkable and socially magnetic neighborhood, with cafes, restaurants, grocery, nightlife, salons, and everyday conveniences all close at hand. Center City is also within walking distance, making downtown offices, courthouses, banks, and law firms easily accessible. Just a short distance away, the Riverwalk adds another layer of appeal, offering an easy outlet for walking, running, and getting outside.
There is practical elegance here too. All utilities are included, allowing for the ease of a single payment and a more seamless kind of living an increasingly meaningful advantage at a time when utility costs, especially electric, have become anything but minor. Access to I-95 is likewise effortless, placing Philadelphia, Baltimore, Washington, and New York all within practical reach. For someone who wants architectural pedigree, neighborhood life, and one of the more distinctive larger residences in Delaware Hall, B6 is a rare offering.
Electricity, heat, hot water, sewer, trash included. Owner pays condo fee.
