Listing Description

Located in Wilmington's highly desirable Cool Spring neighborhood, just blocks from Trolley Square, this exceptional 1920s Colonial Revival residence offers a rare opportunity to own a home of remarkable architectural integrity, where the current owner has carefully restored and preserved much of its original character.

A welcoming enclosed vestibule with original red quarry tile sets the tone for the home's timeless character and scale. French doors open to a spacious reception hall and elegant formal living room with fireplace, flowing seamlessly into the dining room, currently utilized as a family room.

A distinctive architectural highlight is the opening between the dining and kitchen areas, accented by original trim and a stained-glass -once a butler's pantry or serving passage-now serving as a striking focal point that preserves its historic detail while accommodating modern use.

The spacious kitchen has been thoughtfully updated over time and features stainless steel appliances and granite countertops, flowing seamlessly into the morning room with access to a private deck and backyard, complete with a newly added pergola for outdoor enjoyment.

Throughout the home, original transom windows, divided-light French doors, rich hardwood floors, wide Craftsman-style millwork, and period hardware reflect the craftsmanship and intention of early 20th-century design. A central staircase leads to the second floor, where the spacious primary suite includes an en suite bath, walk-in closet, and adjoining office/dressing room.

Two additional bedrooms, a full hall bath, and a large laundry room complete this level. The third floor offers a fourth bedroom with views of the downtown Wilmington skyline. Unique architectural surprises throughout, further enhance the home's charm, including a hidden staircase, a cozy reading nook built into the stair wall, and a tucked-away bo

nus space beneath the stairs that provides flexible use as storage, a creative retreat, or quiet workspace. The furnace, AC, and metal roof have all been replaced within the past two years. Just steps from the revitalized Rodney Reservoir-offering scenic walking paths, community events, and private garden plots-this location delivers an exceptional lifestyle.

Enjoy nearby tennis and pickleball courts, along with local favorites such as BrewHaHa, The Coterie, and the highly anticipated Cafe Karma, plus an expanding mix of neighborhood shops and dining. Ideally positioned for walkability and convenience, the home is minutes from parks, restaurants, shopping, and nightlife in Trolley Square and the Forty Acres neighborhood, as well as highly regarded private schools including Padua and Ursuline Academy.

Commuters will appreciate quick access to I-95, downtown Wilmington, the Riverfront, Amtrak, and under 30 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport, Christiana Hospital, the University of Delaware, and Christiana Mall. North Rodney Street has long retained its historic charm, and 706 N Rodney continues that legacy-offering enduring character, architectural significance, and lasting value in one of Wilmington's most established neighborhoods.
