Schedule your appointment today to check out a charming, fully renovated townhouse in Historic New Castle! This two-bedroom, one-bath townhouse offers a blend of historic charm and modern comfort in a quiet, walkable, and scenic community. Located on a quiet street just steps from local restaurants, parks, and historic landmarks, the home also offers quick access to major highways for easy travel to Wilmington, Philadelphia, and beyond. Fully renovated in late 2022, the home features newer appliances, HVAC, and water heater—all less than three years old. The fenced-in backyard is perfect for a small garden, pets, or relaxing outdoors. The property is ideal for individuals, small families, students (close to University of Delaware and Wilmington University), or those looking for a solid investment property in a highly desirable area.
