Overlooking the historic Delaware City Marina and picturesque Branch Canal, this custom carriage-style townhome with two decks offers a rare waterfront opportunity in New Castle County. Located in The Canal District at Fort DuPont, the home features an open-concept main level, three upstairs bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and a two-car garage. The well-appointed kitchen is designed for entertaining, with granite countertops, 42-inch custom cabinets with decorative trim and soft-close hardware, and a spacious center island. The owner’s suite offers serene views and a generous walk-in closet. Thoughtful upgrades throughout the home include upgraded faucets, pocket doors, additional electrical outlets, and upgraded garage rollers. Fort DuPont is enhancing the common areas adjacent to the community park and boat ramp, while the nearly completed Delaware City promenade will provide a scenic walkway along the historic canal toward the Delaware River. With convenient access to downtown Delaware City, community boat access, and year-round outdoor recreation, Fort DuPont is emerging as a sought-after Delaware riverfront destination. Wilmington, Newark, Dover, Christiana, and the southern beaches are all within a short drive, offering the convenience of nearby destinations while preserving a quiet waterfront setting.
