About 59 Ivy Rd
**Historic Charm with a European Vibe Near the Art Museum** Welcome to this truly unique 1800s brick townhouse, perfectly situated down a gentle hill just steps from the Delaware Art Museum. Tucked into a row of distinct, one-of-a-kind historic homes, this property blends classic architectural character with an airy, European-inspired layout. **Main Level Living** Ascend five steps to the charming main entrance, flanked by a side garden that runs all the way from the front door to the back. Inside, you are greeted by an inviting dining area. To the left is a well-appointed kitchen, while the living room sits to the right, anchored by a historic, closed-off fireplace. An open, airy staircase creates a wonderful sense of light and flow throughout the center of the home. **Ground-Floor Oasis** Through a glass door off the main level, step down into a breathtaking ground-floor office that easily doubles as an additional bedroom. This flexible space features a vaulted ceiling pierced by three skylights and a stunning pair of full-length casement windows that frame views of the private, brick paver patio. **Second-Floor Suite** Head up the open staircase to the second floor—situated just above the main living and dining areas—where you will find a spacious bedroom complete with a large walk-in closet and a dedicated full bathroom. **The Upper Addition** A beautifully lit spiral staircase, featuring a large window well, leads to a custom upper-level addition. This cozy retreat offers a quaint bedroom, its own walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bath showcasing a classic, freestanding sleigh tub—perfectly capturing the home's European charm. **Parking & Neighborhood** Enjoy incredibly convenient parking options with customary street parking directly in front of the house (following a friendly neighborhood gentleman's agreement), as well as access to a convenient community parking lot nestled right behind the row of homes. Don't miss the chance to own a piece of local history with an unmatched, light-filled layout. This one won't last long!
