About this property

Location, flexibility, and lots of recent upgrades come together in this close-to-downtown property, perfectly suited as a primary residence or easily converted back into an income producing duplex. Leave your car keys behind because you are just a short stroll from the vibrant dining, shopping, and entertainment of downtown Delaware, as well as local schools and the public library. The highly flexible layout features a main level with the primary bedroom, an updated full bathroom, an updated kitchen, dining room, and a front living room that can easily convert into an additional main-floor bedroom with minimal effort. Upstairs could function as a fully independent living suite complete with its own bedroom, full bath, living room, and kitchenette, making it the ultimate setup for a tenant, multi-generational living, or a guest suite. Recent improvements offer peace of mind, including a new roof completed in July 2025, a new main water line from the road, new garage door, freshly painted walls in most of the house. This oversized 24'x24' 2 car garage provides abundant storage and extra off-street parking accessed via the convenient rear alley. Properties with this level of versatility are incredibly rare, so schedule your private showing today and unlock this home's full potential!
