About this home

Motivatad Sellers! Rare opportunity to own a beautifully remodeled 1865 Italianate home less than a mile from vibrant downtown Delaware. Soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level and 10-foot ceilings upstairs highlight its grand proportions. 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. A bay window fills the spacious living room with natural light, while the large family and dining rooms provide plenty of space for gatherings and celebrations. 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. Just off the kitchen, an 11-by-18 room addition with its own 12-foot ceiling offers flexible space for a mudroom, fitness studio, office, playroom or hobby area. All three renovated bathrooms feature extensive granite finishes, including a convenient full bath on the main level. A gas-log fireplace with granite surround creates an inviting focal point. The fenced backyard includes a deck and established grapevine. A heated 22-by-30 garage offers two overhead doors, a workshop and ample room for vehicles, storage or recreational equipment. Improvements include replacement windows, updated electrical and plumbing, a newer sewer line from the cellar to the property line, custom cedar front doors with encased glass, concrete driveway and walkways, garage roof and doors, and gutter guards. Enjoy antique shops, boutiques, restaurants, coffee shops and community events just minutes away.
