Delaware Homes with Georgie

Description

1370 Melvin has been lovingly maintained as a one-family home since it was built in 1992 by the original owner. The attention to detail is evident as you walk through this well-cared-for home. The finish carpentry is suburb as evidenced by the care taken to a custom design kitchen to host large family dinners and display heirloom china and glassware. The crown moldings, built-in shelving, custom-crafted curved archway, hardwood flooring throughout, pocket doors, wood wainscoting, custom fireplace mantle with dental work, and custom built-in bar make this a perfect house for raising a family and holiday entertaining. 1370 Melvin offers over 3,600 square feet of living space on 3 distinct levels. As you enter the home along the walkway, imagine yourself relaxing on the open and inviting covered front porch that runs the length of the house. Great space for summertime dinners with two ceiling fans. This tranquil environment opens up to the well-appointed kitchen, built for the family chef and baker. Countless cookies and cakes were baked in this well-lit kitchen, with an open concept that features a 6-burner gas range, a 36” oven with commercial exhaust, 1 wall oven (36”), and a built-in microwave. The custom-cut granite island is perfect for entertaining and the eat-in-kitchen area is ideal for family gatherings.. The porcelain farmhouse sink, stainless steel appliances, 3 generously sized windows, and gorgeous black zodiac countertops finish off the kitchen. The laundry room sits adjacent to the kitchen and offers built-in cabinets, countertops, a stainless steel sink, a folding station, and easy access to the powder room. This room doubles as a Butler’s Pantry during Holiday Dinners and Entertaining. The kitchen flows effortlessly to the living room where you are treated by a sitting area that opens up to a fantastic family room with a custom-built working fireplace, inclusive of custom-designed and painted ceramic tile surround, wood mantle, and a 9’-0” wide wood sliding patio doors overlooking the backyard. You can access the formal dining room via the curved archway and the main hallway. The 1st-floor primary bedroom suite offers over 550 square feet, with enough room to add an in-house office, workout area, reading area, etc. The ensuite features beautiful subway tile, an oversized sink, and is naturally brightly lit. Upstairs are 3 additional bedrooms and a well-appointed bathroom. The largest bedroom features a private bathroom and walk-in closet. This was the original master bedroom, and as the family grew it served two teenage girls! This bedroom could easily function as the main bedroom, and the lower level bedroom could serve as an in-law suite. If that was not enough, the fully finished basement, with over 800 square feet of livable square footage, may be your favorite floor in the home. The possibilities for this lower-level living are as endless as your imagination. It can easily be used as an in-law suite, private playroom for the kids, at-home office, gym, or recreation area. The separate entrance to the garage means you don’t have to disturb anyone coming or going. This room features a custom-built bar, mini-kitchen, and custom-built book shelving. Additional features of the home include a spacious outdoor area highlighted by the deck, greenery, 18’-0” x 4’-0” deep above-ground vinyl pool, complete with deck and safety fence. The side yard is large enough for family picnics and volleyball games! This home has been loved and cared for by the original home-owners for the past thirty-six years. It will be sadly missed, but it is time to pass it along to the next family to build memories! There is plenty of outdoor space to host your family and friends. Schedule your tour to see it before it’s gone. The adjacent vacant lot is included in the sale of this property. The address is 1374 Melvin Rd
