If you’ve been searching for a home that truly stands apart, you’ve found it at 2303 Riddle Ave. Thoughtfully crafted, this one-of-a-kind property blends character, function, and modern design. Enter conveniently through the garage or follow the charming brick path along the right side of the home to the private main entrance at the rear. The sliding door welcomes you into the beautifully updated kitchen, featuring a stunning waterfall island, that’s as functional as it is eye-catching. With seating for 4 and generous prep space, it’s ideal for the chef in your home. Both the slider and kitchen window overlook the large deck and private backyard — a peaceful setting that feels far removed from city living. Entertaining comes naturally here. The spacious, open living room with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, and a separate dining area sits just steps from the kitchen, creating an inviting flow where no one feels left out of the conversation. You may choose to step out onto the front balcony deck to relax and take in the neighborhood views. Hosting gatherings indoors and out is a breeze. Back inside, the well-appointed primary suite is a true sanctuary, complete with an ensuite bath, walk-in closet, and electric blackout blinds for ultimate comfort. On the opposite side of the main level, Bedroom 2 offers its own full bath and ample closet space. Main-floor laundry is conveniently tucked near the spiral staircase leading to the lower level. Downstairs, Bedroom 3 features a large walk-in closet and access to a convenient half bath. This flexible space is perfect for guests seeking privacy or equally suited for a home office. Step out to the massive garage, that easily accommodates two vehicles and includes an impressive 25' x 14' storage area — a rare and valuable bonus. Beyond the home itself, the location is exceptional. Less than one mile to museums, Conaty Park, and the sought-after dining and shopping of Trolley Square. Just one mile to both Brandywine and Rockford Parks, 1.5 miles to the Christiana Health complex, 2.6 miles to the train station, and 3 miles to DuPont Country Club. This is city living — with space, style, and privacy.
