This is a gorgeous home in the perfect location. Chalfonte is a very desirable North Wilmington Neighborhood, situated conveniently off of Silverside Road, and in the Brandywine School District. The home itself is a model of perfection. With high quality construction from the 60’s and modern conveniences. Everything that matters has been replaced, most of it in the last 2 years: 50 year Architectural roof, New Gutters and Gutter Guards, New Vinyl Siding and Windows, New Heater and Air Conditioner, Waterproofed Basement (it’s dry as a bone) and new appliances. The kitchen has been updated, and the whole house has a fresh coat of paint. The large rooms are inviting, and offer plenty of space for you to spread out and enjoy, and Lots of windows means ample natural light. Most floors are hardwood covered by carpet, for you to uncover at your own pace. The fireplace will be a wonderful place to gather on blustery days, and the built-in shelving on each side can hold your books, photos or other treasures. The kitchen is spacious, with gleaming hardwood cabinets, new floor and new counters. The bedrooms are large and inviting, and the owner’s suite has a private bath, and a walk-in closet. Don’t miss the .37 acre of landscaped beauty. With Shade Trees, and blooming bushes and trees, and lots of perennials. Winding entry walks, garden lights, a swing on the front porch…and you know you’ve found home. In the back you have a huge Trex deck, and a 3 season sun porch to die for. It all adds up to a house you can call home.
