This 200 year old home is well maintained, blending the charm and character of a historic residence with modern conveniences. You will find tall ceilings, original wood floors, mouldings and deep woodwork as you enter. A parlor, a living room with a huge fireplace surrounded by built-in cabinetry/entertainment center, a step down dining room with a sunny bay window, and a modern, efficient kitchen with custom copper counters and stainless appliances complete the first floor. The master bedroom consists of an en-suite walk-in closet, convenient laundry with stacked washer/dryer, and huge bath with double sinks and glass enclosed shower. An office/study or nursery and a second bath comprise the second floor. Three bedrooms and a half bath are located on the third floor. Efficient gas hot water heat and ductless mini splits provide year round comfort. A brick patio for entertaining graces the beautifully landscaped garden. An underground watering system makes maintaining the grass and flowers a breeze on warm, summer days. The Read House Museum and Gardens is just 2 doors away. The wharf, and often, the tall ship Kalmar Nyckel is located at the entrance to Battery Park, just a short stroll to the end of the block. Dining and shopping are just steps away, public transportation is a short walk through town. A farmers market and interesting vendors are found on Market Square in the center of the historic district on Saturday during warmer months of the year. New Castle is just a half hour from Philadelphia International Airport, a little further is Philadelphia, and a 2 hour drive takes you to New York, Washington, DC or Baltimore, MD.
