About 1962 Old Kirkwood Rd
Privacy, character, and possibility; all in one exceptional property!!
This is your opportunity to live on Old Kirkwood Road in Bear, DE, where homes are thoughtfully spaced apart, yet the neighborhood maintains a strong sense of community. With NO HOA, lower taxes than PA, the possibilities are TRULY endless on this 1.15 acre 2,850 sq ft property. Newer hot water heater and HVAC. Enjoy the convenience of public sewer, while also enjoying well water! Tesla’s solar panels, as well as 2 heating zones, help as well to keep the bills down. The unfinished basement (an additional 940 sq ft) is ready to be finished if you decide…it is dry, open, & already has water access- This would make a great room for entertaining!
As you pull into the spacious driveway, step through the front door into a freshly painted, charming front room that offers exceptional flexibility; perfect as a sitting area, dining space, or oversized foyer. Down the hall to the left, you’ll find three bedrooms and a one of the 3 full bathrooms. These bedrooms can absolutely be versatile as playrooms, offices, guest rooms…the choices are yours!
To the right of the foyer, the home opens into a spacious, updated kitchen and living room. Large windows, a timeless gas fireplace, and double-glass doors leading to the back patio are just a few of the highlights in this inviting space. A FIRST FLOOR LAUNDRY ROOM awaits off the kitchen. The cabinetry in the kitchen and laundry room not only showcases modern farmhouse style, but also provides abundant storage.
A freshly stained and painted staircase leads to the second floor, where you are welcomed by a timeless 'Generation Lighting' “Corrine” Farmhouse Globe Light Fixture chandelier. To the right is the freshly painted primary bedroom ensuite, featuring recessed lighting and a new oversized ceiling fan. Down the hall, 2 generously-sized bedrooms and a full hallway bathroom complete the upper level.
The covered front porch, accented by charming pillars, creates the perfect setting for morning tea or evening relaxation. BUT, THE BACKYARD TRULY STEALS THE SHOW!! A spacious patio sits under a crisp white vinyl pergola - beautifully compliments the home’s aesthetic while enhancing outdoor living. Overlooking 1.15 acres of flat land, this property offers incredible potential for those seeking a homesteading lifestyle or just a large property/privacy. Whether you’re dreaming of raising backyard egg-laying chickens, (some neighbors ONLY JUST started this journey once moving to this street & admit the process is much easier than they anticipated) creating garden-ready compost, or enjoying open space and privacy… the groundwork is already in place! Beyond the first wooden fence, a shed, a semi-covered fire pit, a playset, a charming wooden bridge, and a chicken house (with electricity and water access) awaits for when you’re ready. The property backs up to a farm with lamb, cows, and other animals that set a gorgeous and peaceful scene in the warmer months. Two pair and apple trees, along with flower blooming trees provide fruit and shade in the spring.
The BEST OF BOTH WORLDS sums up this property! At home, your peace and quiet will remind you of your seclusion and privacy…but a short walk will take you to the neighborhood Wawa for your morning coffee. I-95 is just a few miles away, making a short drive to many beaches, & towns in Delaware, Pennsylvania, and Maryland!
