Beautiful Victorian in Brandywine Village! Appreciate this century-old all brick 2-story 3BRs/1 bath townhome that features mix of modern appeal and historical elements! With convenience being a feature high on the list of many home seekers, this townhome certainly checks that box. Merely 2 blocks from Brandywine Park, easy commute to downtown business district, nearby to restaurants and entertainment, and close to Christiana hospital, it~s great city living! Nestled on a tranquil tree-lined street, home features large covered front porch, edged with both pillars and shrubbery. Perfect perch for reading, relaxing or reveling in quiet hum of city life. Step inside and immediately you relish elements of the past preserved in original hardwood floors, 9-ft. ceilings, original moldings and plaster walls. Entry hall leads into oversized entrance of LR/FR to left. Beige paint provides natural backdrop for formal or informal space, and offers options for a full range of accent colors. Ample room also gives choices for furniture placement. DR maintains hint of history with its extra-wide baseboards, millwork around windows and elegant 2 black wrought iron sconces flanking entrance to kitchen. Original hardwood floors continue in kitchen with addition of accent wall in vibrant cabernet color, a striking embellishment! Maple cabinets blend with updated SS appliances, while red pendant light over sink and red trim around charming glass-pane back door continue with selected accent color, creating striking symmetry. Gracious original turn hardwood staircase with window at landing, lending more natural light, leads to 2nd level. 2 secondary BRs are sizable with single-door closets, gray paint, extra-wide baseboards and hardwoods. Updated bath features well-loved pairing of black and white with tile in tub/shower, and white beadboard adds bit of texture. Adorable alcove creates space for shelves, perfect for stacking and storing towels! Sleek cherry vanity with edge curved basin is highlighted by arc glass shelf above where vase for grouping of flowers would brighten the day. MBR is quite large, also touting hardwood floors, gray paint and extra-wide baseboards. Two closets offer space for separate wardrobes, while stunning bump-out bay window provides both beauty and extra footage. Back door grants access to slightly elevated open deck with no railing, almost blending deck with deep, flat, grassy fenced-in backyard and connecting the 2 entertaining areas. Great outdoor space to host backyard BBQs and get-together gatherings with friends and family! Wonderful city vibe in this city home!
