Property description
Welcome to 281 Kesselring Ave! An incredible opportunity in the highly sought after Caesar Rodney School District. This 3-bed 2 bath detached home offers over 1,500 sq ft of living space, an unfinished basement and a beautiful backyard perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Lovingly cared for by the same owner for more than 40 years, this home provides the chance for its next owner to add their own style and enhancements to bring it into a more modern era while building immediate and long-term equity. Hardwood floors shine throughout the bedrooms, and additional hardwood lies preserved beneath the carpeted areas. Major value is already in place with a roof replaced in 2013, a Water Heater in 2017, and a Furnace in 2020. Located within walking distance to both the primary and high schools, and set in a well established neighborhood known for convenience and charm, this property is ideal for anyone looking for a solid home with immense potential at a great price point. A rare opportunity to create something truly your own in one of the area’s most desirable locations.
