Surrounded by old world charm and luxurious homes it is less than a minute from the beautiful Rockwood mansion built in 1851, which is now a sprawling 72 acre park, museum and events venue, built for Joseph Shipley as his retirement home. It is also just up the hill from a home built by Frank Llyod Wright, along Shellpot Creek. History and beauty surround the area! This 6 bedroom, 3.1 bath home has a rich history all on it's own. The lavish gatherings hosted here bring to mind what you would see in period movies, or TV series. It is rumored to have hosted secret parties in the basement, which is still reminiscent to a Speakeasy, during the prohibition period. Imagine the gatherings you can host in this magnificent home. Your guests can mingle throughout the 1st floor, or take the party outside onto either of the 2 impressive stone terraces, which add to the elegance of this home. The owner kept many of the charming features from the original architecture, however added modern day convenience to blend this turn of the century estate into something truly unique and impressive. There is a large detached carriage barn at the back of the property wired with electricity that can be converted into more space to meet your needs. Some thoughts are a home business, guest house, art studio… the possibilities are only limited by your imagination. The location is convenient to major routes for commuting, as well as all the wonderful restaurants and entertainment that north Wilmington has to offer. Call to schedule your appointment today. You'll want to see this one in person!
