Description

In the words of Delaware Today Magazine: "If you like history as well as waterfront living, The Strand is your place.. The lucky few who live there enjoy a walkable town loaded with historic sites." The Janvier Black house is among the finest private residences in Old New Castle. This early 19th century Federal townhome is truly unique and speaks of location, history and elegance as well as convenience. The sweeping views of the Delaware River from all three floors will captivate you to the point you will not want to leave. There is no need for a vacation home at the beach/shore when you can live on the water all year long. Entering the house you realize the wonderful size and architectural style based on the expansive entrance hall and formal living and dining rooms with King of Prussia marble fireplaces. Continuing through the hall is the kitchen with new backsplash and family room. Outside is a large, mahogany deck overlooking the gardens and water, perfect for entertaining. Downstairs is the old kitchen/tavern which is now used as a media room with wet bar. Proceed up the gorgeous stairway to the second floor that has a bright office and primary bedroom overlooking the water. The primary bedroom features a carved, marble fireplace and a wonderfully updated bathroom with a soaking tub. There is also another large room with built-ins and closets that can be used as a dressing room or a sitting room. Another full bath and the laundry are also located on the first upper level. The third floor has 3 bedrooms, updated bathroom and a viewing area overlooking the gardens and water. Many architectural details are original to the house such as wood floors, light fixtures, mantels, doors, shutters, locks as well as an inventory of early pictures, books and documents that belong to the house. You can access the beautifully landscaped rear yard from the deck of the walk out lower level. The yard is completely fenced in for pets and there is a large, covered brick patio and a storage shed. The current owners have loving maintained this architectural gem! Schedule your appointment today to see all this exceptional home has to offer.
