About this home
Step back in time with this breathtaking 100-year-old historic townhome, located at the gateway to the historic 40 Acres neighborhood, Delaware’s first Neighborhood Conservation District. This charming 3 bedroom, 1.5 bath brick townhome has a ton of history and opportunity! This area of 40 Acres was developed in the late 1800’s by the Kelly family, this home being completed in 1920. This was former home to Sheriff John D. Kelly, Sheriff of Newcastle County and originator of the Wilmington St. Patrick’s Day Parade. This home sits blocks away from the famous Kelly’s Logan House as well as the other fine dining and shopping in Wilmington’s Trolley Square area. This home’s Federal styling preserves it’s original turn of the century looks, both inside and out. Wood floors and ornate trim abound in the first floor living room and dining room. On the second floor, towards the front of the home, sit two connected bedrooms, while at the rear is a large master bedroom with dual cedar lined closets. In between sits a spacious two sink full sized bathroom as well as the stairs ascending to a large 3rd floor studio loft. The Kitchen is a blank canvas and ready for your dreams to become a reality! Many upgrades have been done while preserving the look and history of the property. The porch was complete rebuilt in 2014 and included steel reinforcement under the column for strength, while preserving the historic aesthetics. Other recent upgrades include the replacement of all the original windows in 2022. Also in 2022, the AC system was replaced with a new Compressor and condenser. At the same time, a split air system was installed in the 3rd floor loft to provided additional heating and cooling. The most involved renovation occurred in the basement where its original field stone walls were repaired and sealed, creating a fairly dry and spacious, full height basement great for a workshop with tons of shelves and storage capacity. It is said that 40 Acres gets its name from the soil being so rich, one acre here was equal to 40 acres of neighboring lands. Today it is the people, the food and the atmosphere that makes this land rich and this home is your opportunity to own a piece of 40 Acres history!...
