About this home
Welcome to 1212 Shallcross Avenue, located in the vibrant and beloved community of Trolley Square! From the moment you arrive, the quintessential charm of this unique 3-bedroom townhouse is sure to capture your attention. Step into the heated front porch, complete with a wood ceiling, surrounding windows, flagstone flooring, and exposed brick — the perfect spot to enjoy your morning coffee or unwind at the end of the day. Inside, you are greeted by a bright and inviting living room featuring a cozy fireplace and gorgeous original hardwood floors that flow beautifully throughout the home. The character of the home has been beautifully preserved with several timeless touches, including exposed brick walls — even tucked behind the staircase — transom windows, solid wood doors, and classic glass doorknobs. These details add warmth, personality, and the kind of charm that makes this home truly special. Continue into the dining room, where a built-in corner hutch adds even more character, along with a convenient passthrough to the updated kitchen. The kitchen features cherry cabinetry, a stone backsplash, updated countertops, and easy access to the newly added main-level powder room. A rear entrance provides the perfect mudroom-style entry and leads out to the composite deck and private backyard, complete with a gate conveniently located near the home’s dedicated parking spot. Upstairs, the extra-wide curved staircase leads to the spacious primary bedroom, featuring vaulted ceilings, two closets, and a charming trio of windows that fill the room with natural light. Bedrooms two and three each offer walk-in closets with windows and glass doors, adding both function and character. Bedroom three, currently used as a nursery, showcases a beautiful exposed brick wall that adds even more warmth and personality. The updated main bath on this level features tile flooring and a clean, timeless feel. This home has been lovingly cared for with regular maintenance and thoughtful updates, including a new boiler, new water heater, recently inspected roof, new Hardie Board siding on the lower level and a new washer that the seller is including. The basement also offers the option for an additional bathroom, providing future potential and flexibility. Located in the heart of Trolley Square, this move-in ready home offers the perfect blend of historic charm, everyday comfort, and an unbeatable city location close to dining, shopping, parks, and all that Wilmington has to offer.
