Welcome to this charming brick home with a prime location in the Old New Castle Historic District. This gem boasts 3 bedrooms and 3.1 bathrooms spread out over 2.5 levels/stories. The main level features an open, spacious living room/dining room area with a gas fireplace, crown molding and chair rail details. It is the perfect space to entertain. The kitchen has ample cabinets and is large enough for a table and chairs. There are beautiful hardwood floors on the main level and second floor, along with an abundance of windows that flood the space with natural light. The second floor has the large primary bedroom with attached bathroom, laundry area, full, tile, hall bath and second bedroom. The third-floor bedroom can be easily transformed into an office, studio, playroom, or whatever suits your needs and comes with an added bonus - a glimpse of the Delaware River. There is a cozy, brick courtyard between the house and the garage. That's right, I said garage! The oversized one-car garage is that oh-so-hard-to-find feature in the historic district that will have you making an immediate offer. The full basement gives you plenty of room for storage. Additional amenities include central A/C and forced air heating for comfort year-round. The gas heater, central air conditioning and roof were all installed in 2020. With the added bonus of a garage, this property truly has it all. You are just steps away from the Delaware River, Battery Park, shops, restaurants and the library. Don't miss the opportunity to own this one-of-a-kind home in the heart of historic New Castle.
