Exceptional mid-century home with contemporary verve tucked in a niche of nature in coveted north
Wilmington’s Edgewood Hills! Plus, a bonus of an adjoining parcel at 212 Edgewood Dr. for added outside space! Long driveway with extra parking pad, brick-edge stone sidewalk, open lawn punctuated with landscaping and new hardscaping, and white stone-stacked veneer privacy wall fronts this beautiful 1-level living home. Just beyond is a true delight of a sweeping, open-air brick terrace and courtyard and collection of ornamental trees and blooms ideal for al-fresco dining perfectly paired with enchanting koi pond. Divine front outdoor space!

Flagstone floored, vaulted ceiling dining room with exposed beams sits to front of home with only floor-to-ceiling windows dividing it from the charming courtyard outside providing easy access and effortless views, while wide and deep silestone pass-through to adjacent kitchen connects the 2 rooms and is a step saver. The white brick freestanding wall with FP/wood stove and built-in ledges is not only striking architectural element but effectively provides subtle separation between DR and LR. Spacious sun-infused living room is just beyond with back wall of windows and glass sliders that offer access to terrace and sunken deck which backs up to mature-aged trees, provides private natural screen, and offers yet another peaceful outdoor space! Handsome build-ins in grace one wall, neutral carpeting brings softness and warmth to room, and dark rich vaulted ceiling/beams in DR are echoed here in LR, offering balance and continuity from front to back of home.
