50 Washington Street

About this property

Nearly 150 years of history and just two blocks from downtown Delaware, 50 S. Washington is historic living done right. Built in 1875, this 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath home has kept the craftsmanship and character that make historic homes so special but has been updated where it counts. Set on an oversized corner lot, the all-brick exterior, expansive front porch, and generous side yard create timeless curb appeal with rare outdoor space this close to downtown. Inside, a partially-reconfigured first floor was designed for the way people live today including an entertainer's kitchen with walk-in pantry, an oversized dining room with built in bench seating and first-floor laundry with storage. In addition to the living room, family room and half bath, there is also a bonus space ideal for a home office or playroom. Upstairs, four bedrooms share an updated full bath featuring a classic claw-foot tub, corner shower and new vanity. Major improvements are already in place, including structural foundation work (2021), sump pump (2022), AC (2021), furnace (2018) water heater (2025), and newer windows. A rear deck extends the living space outdoors, while the oversized yard offers room to gather, garden, or simply enjoy a little more space in the heart of the city. And the location is hard to beat. Downtown Delaware's restaurants, local shops, First Fridays, farmers market, and community events are only steps away, offering the walkable lifestyle that makes this community so special. Some homes have historic character. Some have location. 50 S. Washington has both.
