Additional Features: Laundry/mud room connects the oversized garage directly to the interior, offering seamless entry after tending the front garden or enjoying nearby trails. The main level showcases rich hardwood floors, elegant crown molding, built-in bookshelves, a wood-burning fireplace, and striking pocket French doors leading to a truly unique sunroom—unlike anything else in the neighborhood—featuring oversized skylights and a natural slate floor. French doors from the sunroom and lower level open to a private, fenced backyard with a covered patio—ideal for summer dinners or morning coffee. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet and updated en-suite bathroom, with two additional bedrooms and a refreshed hall bath completing the level. A main-level half bath adds convenience. The lower level offers rare flexibility—easily used as a rental unit, rec room, guest suite, or expansive home office with its own full bath and direct outdoor access. Best of all, there are no community fees—providing more flexibility and control without the extra cost. This is a rare opportunity to own a move-in ready, thoughtfully upgraded townhome with 3.5 bathrooms, character, walkability, and strong potential for secondary income—all in one of Wilmington’s most treasured neighborhoods. Don’t miss your chance to make 57 Rockford Road yours.
