Description

Opportunity arrives- Here's your chance to get into the popular community of Fairfax. This 2 Story Colonial is tucked in the interior and almost smack dab in the middle of the neighborhood. Two Neighborhood parks are a 5 minute walk away and there is easy access to I-95, Rt 202 and Rt 141. This home features hardwood flooring throughout most rooms and almost the entire house has been freshly and tastefully painted. The living room has built in shelving while the family room and enclosed porch are at the rear which also features a deck for extra entertaining or relaxing and the yard is fenced. Basement is partially finished and boasts a newer sump pump done by Adams Basement Waterproofing in 2017. HVAC was updated in 2022 and water heater in 2019. The powder room is on the main level and there is extra storage in floored attic with pull down stairs. All this in the Brandywine School District and in close proximity to get to West Chester or the City of Wilmington in a breeze. At this price, you'd be crazy not to check it out before it's too late ! House is being sold in "as-is" condition.

The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
