Investor Alert! 616 W. 31st St. offers a chance to own a solid home in an area where some TLC can bring significant value. As you approach, you’ll see the sturdy brick exterior and terra cotta roof façade. Step up to the front door and into a convenient enclosed porch—a great spot to enjoy mild weather and take in the neighborhood vibe. Inside, you’re greeted by a spacious living room, followed by a large dining room. Stairs on the left lead to the bedroom level, while the rear of the home features a generously sized kitchen and a mudroom. The classic city townhome layout provides plenty of room to spread out, with an open flow between the living and dining areas. The kitchen includes tile floors, solid wood cabinets, and appliances. Behind the kitchen, a mudroom provides access to a small balcony—great for grilling or relaxing—as well as steps leading down to the garage and rear parking. Parking is a major plus here, with an access road behind the house offering at least two parking spaces in addition to the private garage. On the bedroom level, you’ll find three generously sized bedrooms and a full bath. This floor features vintage 1 ½-inch white oak hardwood floors in good condition, ready for refinishing. The primary bedroom at the front includes two closets, while the rear bedroom has its own balcony and is also quite spacious. The bathroom offers a tub, a separate shower, a beautiful skylight for natural light, and vintage tile. The lower level, which is finished per Newcastle County records, includes a large multi-purpose room, a front room with an extra half bath, and a rear section housing the gas boiler and water heater. The basement also provides access to the private garage, a walkout door to the garage level, and a laundry area with the electrical panel. This is a solid home—bring your contractor and plan to make it your own or turn it into a great flip opportunity. Possible short sale.
