About this home

Exceptional opportunity to own a beautifully renovated home with classic historic elegance within walking distance to the restaurants and shops of Greenville proper. The original construction of this stone home dates back to 1802 and the story passed down through the years is it was built for the first sheriff of either Wilmington or New Castle County. Modernization through the years has not taken away from the hallmark of construction this time period is known for. The renovation project will be completed in mid-January when Dewson construction replaces all existing original windows with new Pella models. Gorgeous random with hardwood floors that were recently refinished flow through the home width pegged floors on most of the main level, poplar on the 2nd floor, and heart of pine on the 3rd floor. Beautiful doors adorn built-ins and elegant millwork highlights many of the spaces. Home features 6 fireplaces with a mix of wood and natural gas. Abundant living space for entertaining and work from home options. The kitchen has been fully renovated with abundant cabinetry, quartz counters, and high-end appliances like 6 burner Wolf stove, SubZero refrigerator, and 2 dishwashers. During renovations a wall was removed to open the space up into a family and added a Butler's pantry with fully equipped wet bar. Upstairs the primary owner's suite is sure to please and includes large bedroom with fireplace, walk-in closet, and spacious master bath that has been fully reimagined to include vaulted ceilings, dual vanity and a shower with skylight bringing the outdoors in.
