Welcome home to this 5 bedroom brick beauty proudly situated on a premium half acre lot in the highly sought after Shipley Heights neighborhood. As you enter, you are greeted by original hardwood floors that continue throughout the sun-drenched living room with a wood burning fireplace and into the dining room with a lovely bay window. The kitchen has an open layout and is updated with granite countertops, newer cabinets and stainless steel appliances. The spacious main level also features the primary bedroom with a walk-in closet and ensuite primary bath, two more well-sized bedrooms and a full hall bath. Upstairs you will find two more large bedrooms. The finished lower level provides ideal space for a den, playroom, in-home office or whatever fits your needs and conveniently includes a half bath. You will also find the laundry and a workspace on this level. Outside you will find your own private oasis with a screened-in porch, a wonderful retreat to sip a morning or evening beverage while enjoying your landscaped yard with bamboo border (complete with underground barrier to prevent its spread), golf frisbee baskets for outdoor fun, and upgraded drainage to keep it all dry. This home also boasts an attached two-car garage, less than 1 year old roof, a back-up heat pump and tons of storage. A fabulous home located in close proximity to The DuPont Country Club, several state parks and easy access to I-95 for a quick commute to downtown Wilmington, Philadelphia International Airport and Southern NJ.
