This historic end unit home on a high elevation on Historic New Castle's East Second Street with the most incredible sweeping view of the Delaware River, offering a rare opportunity in a rental to overlook Historic Fort Casimir Park and the Delaware River, providing views from the Delaware Memorial Bridge to views west of the property and while in the garden space. Its front porch leads to a very spacious living room and its formal dining room has been remodeled with an extra wide doorway between the dining room and the kitchen. The newly renovated bright and well-appointed kitchen ( ample cabinetry and workspace, granite countertops ) lead to a newly installed pantry and great room with new french doors lead out to the garden and river view.
A powder room is conveniently located between in the great room. The second level has two of the three bedrooms and 2 large modern full bathrooms. The rear bedroom has bay windows to feature the river view. Imagine sunrise from this bedroom retreat! There is a fully finished third-floor walk-up attic offering an additional bedroom and closet storage space that could easily serve as an office or the additional bedroom. The spacious useable basement hosts the new mechanical systems. A large shared alley from the front sidewalk accesses rear french doors. High ceilings, wood floors and a fully finished attic add to the amenities of this lovely home. Second Street is wide enough for traffic in each direction and parking on each side, nice features in this quite neighborhood in the Historic District. Enjoy Second Street's pleasant streetscapes and a short stroll to the shops, eateries, galleries, museums and Battery Park from 149 E Second Street. Historic New Castle offers a lifestyle, with year-round events and activities. New Castle's Battery Park features a new basketball court, a new children's playlot and a wonderful riverfront walkway. Nearby are new pickleball courts and a new Pier that welcomes Tall Ships for popular tours and cruises. Community events include A Day in Old New Castle, Separation Day, summertime evening concerts, a Saturday Market on The Green, an old-fashioned Easter Parade, a Halloween Parade and The Spirit of Christmas. Fifteen minutes to an Amtrak station, half an hour from an international airport, this charming riverfront town seems a world away! Passing ships, parades, concerts, home and garden tours, art loop nights, year-round community events and so much more.
