Experience the storied legacy of the "Townsend House" at 2104 North Bancroft Parkway, a masterpiece of Delaware history commissioned circa 1905 by Sylvester D. Townsend, the esteemed former President of Wilmington Trust. Designed by architect Newton H. Cloud, this stately brick residence offers approximately 2,600 square feet of refined living space across five bedrooms and 2.1 bathrooms. This home has been totally renovated in all areas of the home: KITCHEN, BATHS,WINDOWS, 2 HVAC SYSTEMS, TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATER, etc. PLUS, the exterior walls were stripped, then fully insulated and new dry wall added! The interior seamlessly blends period charm with sophisticated modern updates, featuring a light-filled living room with a grand arched stained-glass window and a chef's kitchen complete with granite countertops, stainless appliances and a professional vent hood. The upper-level bathrooms have been elegantly modernized with marble vanities and timeless subway tile work. Outdoor living is defined by the iconic covered front porch overlooking the parkway and a private brick paver patio in the rear. A full basement with an outside entrance provides exceptional utility and storage. From its origins housing Wilmington’s civic leaders to its beautifully renovated state, this home represents a rare opportunity on one of the city's most prestigious boulevards.
