Rare opportunity to own a beautifully remodeled 1865 Italianate home less than a mile from vibrant downtown Delaware.

Ornate millwork, 12-inch baseboards, wide wood casings, solid-wood double doors, original pocket doors and crown molding reflect exceptional period craftsmanship. Beautiful ¾-inch oak flooring installed by Amish craftsmen adds warmth throughout.

The updated kitchen features abundant raised-panel cabinetry, soft-close doors and drawers, granite countertops, JennAir appliances and all the space needed for cooking and entertaining. A custom built-in dining room buffet adds storage and character.
