Description

If you are looking for a home with style and history…this home is for you! This unique home has been remodeled as a private residence but still has the option of using the main floor as a business such as a coffee/bakery shop or even an elegant tea room with your residence upstairs! This former bank in downtown Townsend has been converted to a 2/3 bedroom home with 1 ½ bathrooms. As you enter the home you are fascinated by the 14 foot high ceilings with gorgeous crown moldings and fresh paint. The former bank teller station is now used as an open galley kitchen with stainless steel appliances. The kitchen, living room and dining area with lots of natural light and airy space are located on the main floor. A first floor bedroom with a ½ bathroom also on the main level. The original bank vault has been redesigned with a spiral staircase leading to the second floor. The upstairs level is just as unique with built in shelves, one bedroom and a full bathroom. There is also a finished upper level loft that could be used as an office/playroom or a 3 bedroom. Additional features that make this home so unique: 2 layers of brick were used to build the outside structure of the building, the original bank depository, and the vault door still exists in the home, as well as a new roof in 2020! The cozy backyard has plenty of space for a vegetable/flower garden and barbeques with your friends and family. This home is a great conversation piece for those you like to entertain guests! Because of its history and nostalgic features… this home was recently featured in the Delaware News Journal. Located in the Appoquinimink school district and within walking distance to town shoppes and restaurants as well as Townsend Elementary school. A quick 10 minute drive to all the shopping centers, restaurants and fitness centers of Middletown! Schedule an appointment today to see this timeless home!
