Welcome to 1801 Grant Avenue in the North Wilmington neighborhood of Gwinhurst! Tucked away next to the county parkland of Gwinhurst Park you'll find this contemporary gem. Built in 2006 and 2007, this 4-bedroom, 3-and-a-half bath was designed to be lived in and loved. Gleaming hardwood floors are complemented by ceramic tile floors at the entry and in the bathrooms. The kitchen beckons with light mahogany finished shaker style cabinetry accented with brushed chrome, an induction stove (2022), a double sink, granite countertops, pendant lighting above the island, and recessed lighting. The laundry room is just off the kitchen, where you'll also find the central vacuum which is also accessible on the second floor. The first floor also features a powder room, access to the spacious 2-car garage, a living room, and a sitting room which could also be a great space for your home office. Highly efficient Anderson windows and patio doors draw in lots of light and feature argon gas and a metal oxide fin film, which effectively prevent heat loss through the windows. Upstairs you'll find hardwood, except for the tile in the three full bathrooms. The primary bedroom sits to the right of the stairs and has a huge walk-in closet, plus the ensuite bathroom with double sink vanity and a jetted tub. The second bedroom sits to the left of the stairs and again features its own private bath and walk-in closet. Bedrooms three and four share a Jack-and-Jill bathroom.
As for the bones of the house, starting with 6x2 studs for the framing, the Sellers then added closed-cell polyurethane foam, fiberglass, and cellulose blown-in insulation for resulting R-factors of 33 to 50. The central forced-air heating and cooling system is complemented by a custom-made and highly efficient ground source heat pump. The furnace can also be run on gas, but the geothermal system allows for lower energy costs. DelMarVa's home energy report notes that the home uses 30% less energy than efficient homes in the area.
There's so much to love about this house, plus it sits beside the parkland, is located within the award-winning Brandywine School District, and allows for easy access to shopping, restaurants, and medical centers, and is a short drive to the new train station in North Wilmington making a commute that much easier.
