Property Description
Welcome to Academy Place, a private enclave in the heart of the Brandywine. Just a few steps away from paths along the Brandywine River, less than a 10 minute walk to the Delaware Art Museum and Rockford Park this community is tucked in a little corner of Wilmington that you wouldn't find unless you knew to look! So mark your GPS and come experience for yourself this beautifully renovated home. As you pull into your oversized 2 car garage, you'll notice the beautiful tan brick of this solidly built community. From here you'll step into your foyer in what is technically the back of the house.
On this floor you'll find the family room with masonry brick gas fireplace, an updated laundry room and you'll walk out to the incredible brick patio. Yes, this is city living, however when you're in this private oasis, you'll hear the birds, view the lush landscaping and be moments away from stepping down to Park Drive for your walk along the Brandywine. Just came in from the grocery store? Then put your bags in the handy “dumb waiter” and send it up to the kitchen! Then make your way to the 2nd floor to the beautifully renovated kitchen with lovely white cabinets, quartzite counters and updated stainless steel appliances. This open space connects to the living room with a pass through, enabling you to take advantage of tremendous storage space yet communicate with your guests while preparing the meal. The living room is a true great room by definition, enabling you to enjoy a cozy night in front of the gas fire with a good movie, or shifting the furniture slightly to have a large dinner party! The current owners have entertained over 20 people in this space. There's also a balcony off this living area where you can relax and sip your favorite beverage at any time of day, while enjoying the tree lined view.
On this level you'll also find the primary suite with good closet space and an updated 4 piece bathroom with separate sink/dressing area.
In true tree top living – your 3rd floor is accessed by a fun spiral staircase! The two bedrooms and updated bath become a very private living area. And if you really want to expand your entertaining space (or just sunbathe), there's an enormous updated roof top deck! You'll also find a large cedar storage closet on this floor.
The lowest level is primarily finished, large enough for a variety of purposes – whether you use it for gym, play room, craft room or even media room. And there's unfinished storage space too.
If that's not enough updating for you, the 2-zoned HVAC is only 4 years old and the home has new Anderson windows! Looking for the convenience of city living with easy access to everything you need for work and play and also want an updated gorgeous home? Then come tour 1906 Academy Place today and make this home your own!
