This is your opportunity to live on Old Kirkwood Road in Bear, DE, where homes are thoughtfully spaced apart yet the neighborhood maintains a strong sense of community. Freshly painted. New Hot Water Heater. New HVAC. New light fixtures/ceiling fans throughout. *No HOA* Farmette friendly!
As you pull into the spacious driveway, step through the front door into a freshly painted, charming front room that offers exceptional flexibility—perfect as a sitting area, dining space, or oversized foyer. Down the hall to the left, you’ll find three bedrooms and a full bathroom. To the right of the foyer, the home opens into a spacious, updated kitchen and living room. Large windows, a timeless fireplace, and French doors leading to the back patio are just a few of the highlights in this inviting space. Tucked behind a beautiful barn door, a laundry room/study awaits. The phenomenal cabinetry not only showcases modern farmhouse style but also provides abundant storage.
A freshly stained and painted staircase leads to the second floor, where you are welcomed by a timeless "Generation Lighting" Corrine Farmhouse Globe chandelier. To the right is the freshly painted primary bedroom ensuite, featuring recessed lighting and a new ceiling fan. Down the hall, two generously sized bedrooms and a full hallway bathroom complete the upper level.
The covered front porch, accented by charming pillars, creates the perfect setting for morning tea or evening relaxation. The backyard truly steals the show—featuring a spacious patio beneath a crisp white vinyl pergola that beautifully complements the home’s aesthetic while enhancing outdoor living. Overlooking 1.15 acres of land, this property offers incredible potential for those seeking a homesteading lifestyle.
