117-119 Old Polly Drummond Rd, Newark, DE 19711 listing details

A large treed lot nestled in a tucked-away location bordering Pike Creek Valley is the setting for this historic home. In addition, this intriguing property includes an attractive guest cottage above the vintage 1920 garages! The square footage of the first floor is significantly larger than when the home was built in 1800's. A period main entry opens to an expansive four season sun room and an equally impressive double living room/parlor with handsome fireplaces on either end. Delightfully rambling best describes the flow of rooms. Rooms lead into more rooms and many have multiple entr...y points! While touring the charming country kitchen, you will want to take pause and imagine creating memorable meals using the impressive six-burner Viking Professional gas stove. As you enter the generously sized vestibule that connects the original house with the newer addition, the comfortable feel of the home remains but you cannot help but be captivated by the soaring vaulted ceiling of the great room and the amazing amount of open space available for entertaining the largest of gatherings! Skylights, wood burning stove, and custom wet bar add to the appeal of this space. French doors lead out to the private patio and inviting yard beyond. Not to be overlooked, is a large custom outdoor shower. Add on three bedrooms and three full baths (2 upstairs baths/1 main floor) and close proximity to major highways and Main Street Newark and the University of Delaware to only begin appreciating all this property has to offer.
