Nestled in the heart of Trolley Square, this charming 1940 brick twin seamlessly blends historic character with modern convenience. Thoughtfully updated while preserving its original charm, the home features exposed brick walls, original doors, and period hardware. Overlooking scenic Brandywine Park, it offers a picturesque setting with easy access to nature trails, a historic rose garden, and Delaware’s only zoo. The inviting first floor boasts a spacious living room with a decorative, and believed to be original, fireplace mantel, a dining room with two charming corner cupboards, and a generous eat-in kitchen. A convenient first-floor laundry room and a powder room with additional storage enhance everyday functionality. Upstairs, three comfortable bedrooms await, two of which feature beautiful bay windows that fill the space with natural light. The main bathroom has been updated with a double vanity for added convenience. The home's windows were replaced approximately 10 years ago to improve energy efficiency, roof was updated and resurfaced last year, water heater 6 years ago, front and back porch flooring replaced 24/25 , and hardwood floors lie beneath the two carpeted bedrooms. With the exception of the refrigerator, all appliances, including the washer and dryer, have been replaced by the current owners. Step outside to enjoy the private brick paver patio within the fenced backyard—an ideal retreat for relaxation or entertaining. Or, take in the serene park views from the covered front porch. Located directly across from the trailhead to Brandywine Park, this home offers access to outdoor recreation while being just minutes from the shops and restaurants of Trolley Square and downtown Wilmington. It’s also a short drive to the Wilmington Train Station and provides easy access to I-95, with Philadelphia International Airport less than 30 minutes away. Experience the perfect blend of historic charm and modern comfort in this exceptional Trolley Square residence.
