Property Description
Charm of Claymont! Tucked off Phil. Pike and nestled at end of quiet tree-dotted street is this 3BRs/2 fullbath brick twin that exudes front-porch appeal, bonus backyard acreage and never-want-to-leaveinterior. Sprawling lattice-trimmed, wide-plank gray floored covered front porch is reminiscent of smalltown days when people relaxed with afternoon lemonade and home-made cookies. Beautiful rainbowcolored potted plants line steps leading up this white-railed porch where chairs offer shaded seating.Home includes new baths/DW(2020), new roof (2019), backyard fence, subflooring/wiring/floored attic(2017), newer windows, fresh paint, upgraded kitchen, ceiling fans, stone patio and more! Arc transomand mail slot highlight front door, which opens to vibrant colors of bold green and bright yellow paintedFR divided by white chair rail, instantly offering warm and welcoming space. Extra-wide baseboards,hardwood floors and millwork around doors are elements indicative of earlier era that were carefullypreserved and, in turn, offer character. Three windows paired with hardwood floors and area rug, createcomfortable conversation area. Wide entrance leads into typically positioned DR yet, in this case, moremuch-used space comes to the forefront with desk and computer, hardwood bench and bookcase. Dualwindow offers plenty of natural light and pewter ceiling fan provides cool breeze at the flick of a switch.White railed, dark-wood staircase sits in the background. Gorgeous gradated wood-grain floorintroduces this adorable kitchen where terracotta-colored accent wall identifies delightful dining nook,while providing pop of color against the other sunshine-color painted walls. Updated dark cherrycabinets and earth-hued granite countertops are paired with black/SS appliances and ceramic glass tilebacksplash in colors of mocha, chocolate and toasted almond. Off kitchen is 1st-floor, on-trend full bathof ceramic tile floor, charcoal gray vanity and all-tile tub/shower with border, all enveloped in royal-bluepaint.

It s practical and pretty!Both the bath and BRs are painted in hues of blues, creating soothing continuity throughout this floor.Two secondary BRs, one in marina blue and the other in sky blue, are nice size with ceiling fans androomy closets. Hallway separates secondary BRs from MBR, offering privacy. MBR s turquoise color isplayful in addition to being a sizable BR with big bump-out alcove for retreat area designed for couchand end table. Relax and reconnect!
