UPDATE 12/20/24: MOTIVATED SELLER CONCESSION!!! NEW SOLAR PANELS ARE NOW INCLUDED IN THE SALE! NO PAYMENT TO TAKE OVER, NO LEASE PAYMENTS, AND ENJOY VERY LOW POWER BILLS (AVG $25 / MONTH) FOR DECADES TO COME!!! – A rarely available 4-bedroom 3-full-bath raised ranch home in the very desired Heritage Park community conveniently located between Wilmington and Newark in the state of Delaware. This comfortable home offers three bedrooms on the upper level and a sizable fourth bedroom, full bath and den on the lower walkout level. The upper level features an open-plan living room / dining room area. One of the upper-level bedrooms features a full en-suite bath. There are hardwood floors throughout the upper level. The dining room French doors open to the beautiful sanctuary of a screened back porch with skylights. Enjoy the outdoors, morning coffee or BBQ’ing from the open deck that is adjacent to the back porch. The lower den features sliding doors that open to a quiet back patio walkout, a quiet sanctuary feature of the home, sheltered by a nice back porch and open upper deck. This home is uniquely fitting for the owners to enjoy the option of having living and sleeping areas on separate levels, or for a home-share situation. The lower level is on a concrete slab with carpet throughout the bedroom and den for a comfortable cozy atmosphere. The back porch leads to an open deck with stairs that access the backyard sanctuary and the lower-level walk-out patio. All of this under a new roof installed in 2021. New “owned” solar panels were installed in 2023 for energy cost savings. The new homeowner(s) will enjoy the super-convenient location of this lovely home. Area schools are very close by, including St. Marks and Dickinson high schools and Heritage Elementary and Skyline Middle schools located just at the top edge of this very walkable community. The community is surrounded by many convenient amenities such as Heritage Park for recreation, Meadowood Shopping Center, Limestone Shopping Center and the abundance of restaurants, grocery markets and shopping centers along Kirkwood Highway. Just to name a few: Acme grocery market, Marshalls, two WaWa 24 hour convenience stores, Redmill Shopping Center, Richardson’s Garden Center, Woodmill Professional offices, Pike Creek Shopping Center and Carousel Park and Equestrian Center. Also close by are Christiana Hospital, several medical professional centers, Delaware Park Casino and The Christiana Mall, a major sales-tax-free shopping destination. The University of Delaware and Town of Newark amenities and attractions are also nearby just a couple of miles south and so is the Maryland state line. The Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) is about 35-40 minutes drive. It’s about 15 minutes’ drive to the Wilmington Airport (ILG) where Avelo Airlines continues to increase it’s very convenient service to numerous destinations including nine non-stop destinations. Travelers can now book a flight with American Airlines out of PHL but can conveniently check in at ILG and be shuttled by coach straight to their gate in PHL.
