    What's special

    A 4,875 square foot house with history dating back to the early 18th century has plenty of claim on adjectives such as: "charming, interesting and distinctive". But when the same house has been home to families named duPont and Biden, it has positive allure. Located on almost a 3 acre plot of land in the heart of a suburban community called North Star, in fact this home is the original farmhouse. Today the history and charm blend with all of the updates and modernization imaginable, including two zones of air conditioning and multiple heating sources and zones in different areas of the house and property. Exterior amenities now include an in ground heated pool and hot tub, a stone fireplace, a professional built-in gas grill, a pool house with bath and an irrigation system, as well as the original barn with an apartment (see seller's disclosure). There is a 3 car detached garage with 4 car parking. This is a rare opportunity, as well as a simply amazing place to call home.

    This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Zillow. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
