This attractive, well-kept Colonial home is located in the established and highly sought-after Jefferson Farms neighborhood. Entering the home through the striking front door, you come into the inviting living room that features newer carpeting and windows that fill the room with natural light. Flowing seamlessly from the living room is the newly carpeted dining area, creating an open concept feel perfect for entertaining. The beautifully remodeled kitchen boasts eat-in space, gas cooking, and a convenient sink-mounted water filter. The cozy family room offers a comfortable retreat with a ceiling fan and easy access to the backyard. Upstairs, the primary bedroom features two closets and a ceiling fan. The updated bathroom showcases an elegant surround for the bath/shower. The large basement includes an open room ready for customization and a separate laundry area with included washer and dryer and ample storage space. Outside, the large backyard can be accessed through either a charming stone path on one side of the house or a very wide double gate on the other. A backyard shed provides additional storage. Freshly painted throughout, all windows in the home have been replaced, and a whole-house humidifier ensures comfort year-round. Conveniently located near Old New Castle and Battery Park for riverside walks, this home is also within close proximity to the shopping and dining options along DuPont Highway.
