Description

ATTENTION DIY ENTHUSIAST !! Welcome to 242 N. Caroline Pl. Dover DE. This 3,000 sq ft home offers incredible potential . Sold AS IS for the opportunity to reimagine this grandiose property tucked away in a quiet neighborhood. This home is is one of only 3 brick homes in the sought-after Mallard Pond community with NO HOA, that's right NO HOA!!!.... and with direct access to the serene pond and city park right in your backyard, which by the way will never have an obstructed view! The elegant brick exterior truly makes this home stand out and is complemented by the 2017 roof, offering durability! Upon entry you are greeted by a marble tiled foyer setting the tone for this stately home. To the left you will find a spacious family room with original oak hardwood flooring and elegant crown molding, adding a timeless charm. The room is separated from the formal dining area by barn doors, offering a modern touch. In the dining area you will notice charming built in window seats and bookshelves(created with the same oak wood flooring), perfect for creating a cozy reading nook or displaying plants, thanks to the natural light pouring through the nearby window. If you prefer to repurpose the space, the open layout provides endless opportunities. On the right side of the entryway, a versatile room is currently used as as office but can easily be transformed into a home gym, sitting area or anything your creativity desires- all while enjoying views of the front yard. There's also a convenient powder room in the hallway with recently updated paint and elegant marble sink installed just two years ago. As you step into the gourmet kitchen you'll be greeted by a spacious layout, complete with a movable island to add extra space if needed. This kitchen is perfect for entertaining as it opens directly into the sunroom and living room. The sunroom offers you that extra square footage for dining or lounging. The unfinished sunroom project allows you to turn this space into whatever you like! The Kitchen is equipped with top of the line stainless steel appliances purchased in 2020 and 2021, including a fridge, stove, washer and dryer which are all included in the sale. There is even an extra fridge in the garage, purchased in 2019, which will stay with the home. The living room features a gas fireplace (which has never been used but could be a perfect fit for the right homeowner) The living room opens up to the back deck, which with a little TLC could once again be the ideal spot for family cookouts or gatherings, overlooking the scenic pond. The mature flowering trees in the backyard offer a stunning seasonal display of vibrant blooms of soft pinks, bright yellows and crisp whites. You can also gather around the custom stone fire pit and enjoy the wooden playground equipment that are also included. Only a short walk away, take the sidewalk down to Mallard Pond Park. Before reaching the two car garage you'll pass through the well-designed laundry area , featuring a utility sink and high performance washer and dryer that are only four years old and included with the home. The garage itself is spacious but also has a 5 tier shelving rack and work table built in, also included. The water heater is also new (2021) and the home is equipped with an osmosis system (simply needs to be reinstated and maintained). There is also 4 additional parking spaces in the driveway to easily accommodate guests. Once you head upstairs you will find 4 comfortable rooms, each offering plenty of space for any layout you envision. The master bedroom has a huge walk in closet with build in shelving and an ensuite bathroom with double sinks and two showers. This home has so much to offer from its quiet neighborhood setting to a spacious layout and beautiful outdoor surroundings. A little sweat equity can take you a long way!! Don't mis this opportunity to make it your own!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
