Welcome to a North Wilmington hidden gem on a quiet cul-de-sac in the neighborhood of Twin Oaks.
The attractive curb appeal includes an expansive front porch and brick tiled walkway.
After stepping through the front door of this 3,000 sq. ft center hall Colonial, you are greeted with an expansive foyer and hardwoods throughout.

The dining room with new chandelier and an abundance of natural light is perfect for hosting family and friends for holiday dinners.
Adjacent to the living room is a cozy family room with a gas fire place flanked by custom built in bookcases on both sides. The large bay window overlooks a charming backyard.
The kitchen was partially renovated with taking down a wall and creating another versatile room for a home office, arts and crafts room or whatever your family needs are. Newer honed granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, 5 burner cooktop, two wall ovens, an island large enough for morning breakfast and afternoon homework and a built in desk complete the kitchen. The bay window and wet bar offer additional amenities in the kitchen area.

The back yard includes a fire pit, fenced in yard and perfect spot for backyard barbecues.
