Property Description
enthusiast or an informed investor, this property offers endless possibilities. The property can be
maintained as a regal single-family residence (multi-generational/au pair) or the generously
proportioned home turned into separate condominiums/townhomes, or the property subdivided for
new condominiums or new townhomes on attractive lots. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity with
incredible potential just waiting to be unlocked! This river-view property is located within walking
distance to coffee shops, taverns, restaurants and more with strollable brick tranquil tree-lined
sidewalks punctuated with historical homes, less than 6 miles from Wilmington Amtrak train
station/downtown Wilmington, 8 mins. from I-95, and merely 30 mins. from Philadelphia Airport. The
property's location alone makes this an incomparable prospect! Home's upgrades include 2 new water
heaters/2 renovated baths/carriage home electric (2024), new roof (2020), updated 2nd floor electric,
updated kitchen, LL sprinkler system and more. Abundantly rich in character, charm and details, the
home was originally built by M. B. Fleming, a wealthy businessperson and property investor. At one
period, he and his descendants were the largest property owners in New Castle town proper. Over the
years, the house served several residential and commercial purposes and since 1964 the house has been
solely the Flannigan residence. Home boasts authentic features of a yesteryear era such as original
chestnut pegged 1st floor/original pine 2nd floor, 90% original plaster molding, original inset ceilings,
original arched doorways, original 6-inch plus baseboards/decorative chair rail and more. Appreciate a
gated manicured English garden, lush vibrant landscaping, sprawling covered front porch and spacious
sunlit backyard. Step into home and value classic wide and lengthy hardwood foyer with arches, original
elegant parlor with timeless appeal, handsome living room with working FP/build-ins, sun-infused
screened-in porch, ornate and guest-worthy dining room, potential 1st-floor primary or designated guest
suite and updated neutral-hued kitchen. The sprawling 2nd floor features several roomy secondary BRs
with ceiling fans, iconic B & W renovated full hall bath, and primary suite with 2 closets, walk-through
dressing room/yoga niche, and renovated luxurious full bath with tucked-away convenient this-level W
& D. Additionally corner sunlit office and 2nd floor sitting room/flex space that faces 2nd St. with river
views also reside on this floor. 3rd floor is home to private in-law suite or can be separate studio
apartment with delightful kitchenette, renovated full bath, walk-in closet, and computer nook. LL has
dual-width exterior entrance along with updated electric/replaced windows, functional sprinkler
system, French drain, sump pump, and 2nd W & D. The carriage house (only 1 left in New Castle that was
built the same time as home with imported brick from England) sits adjacent to main residence. It
features electric/replaced wood doors and windows (2024) with an all-brick interior and driveway for 4-
plus cars for private, unheard-of off-street parking. This property offers a coveted corner lot positioning
with river views, home with everlasting allure, myriad of possibilities and tremendous untapped
potential. An almost never available noteworthy home in historic New Castle!
