About this home

Step into the past and own a piece of Delaware's history with the Dilworth House, one of the earliest homes built in the state by Olla Jansen, a Swedish colonist from the 1600-1700 Native American Period. Situated on 12.25 acres of pristine land that backs up to the Augustine Wildlife Preserve, this property is a rare find, offering both a home and a rich connection to the past. The Dilworth House is a true gem, showcasing some of the finest early masonry craftsmanship in Delaware. The distinctive "diapering" pattern, glazed brick in diagonal lines, adorns the gable ends, while stepped belt courses and intricate framework add to its historic charm. Inside, you'll find beautifully exposed beams and brick fireplaces, which once served as the heart of the home’s heating system, with the house originally built in two sections and warmed by a single chimney. This three-story home offers 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, with a fully finished attic on the third floor
