Absolutely adorable 1930s Craftsman style tudor home in Olde Dover! The majestic sycamore tree in the front yard sets the tone for this brick beauty. The concrete walkway leads you to the cute front porch and a gorgeous round-top custom wood front door that takes you into the foyer with hardwood floors and a small coat closet. The red oak hardwoods continue throughout the entire first floor, starting with the large living room with a whitewashed brick fireplace and custom live-edge wood mantle, lots of natural light, and access to a charming covered side porch. There is a formal dining room with the original chandelier and a swinging door into the kitchen. The kitchen that had already been updated with solid wood raised panel cabinets and solid surface countertops, also features a gas range, built-in microwave, and a dishwasher that were added in 2019. There is an area in the kitchen that the current owners use as a cozy reading nook, but you could use it for a breakfast nook. There is a half-bath conveniently located off the kitchen and another door leading to the amazing covered, screened, rear porch. Slate flooring, a wood ceiling, and an outdoor fireplace highlight this incredible space. There is a good-sized fenced yard (which extends beyond the fenced area on the right side) and a detached 2 car garage with a loft area. The basement spans the footprint of the home and houses the high efficiency gas furnace, gas hot water heater (all added in 2019), a washer and dryer hook up, and lots of storage. The red oak hardwood floors continue up the turned staircase (that features a double window for more natural light) and upstairs is an open landing perfect for a desk and chair, play area, or another reading nook. There is a small linen closet, a medium sized cedar closet, and a large walk-in storage closet, all off this landing. While the bathroom has been updated with custom tile on the floor and shower, the owner kept the original tub, sink, and commode and had them reglazed. You will even find another storage area inside the bathroom! Two bedrooms, both with dual closets, complete the upstairs. There is so much history, craftsmanship, and charm in this home, you won't want to miss your chance to see it! Seller is a licensed Delaware real estate agent and Listing Agent is related to seller.
