This house is not for everyone—and that is exactly what makes it special. It is for someone seeking tranquility, natural beauty, flexible living space, and a property that feels completely different from the moment you arrive. This one-of-a-kind home offers timeless character, unexpected possibilities, and an outdoor setting that may be difficult to duplicate anywhere else in North Wilmington, especially in this range. As you enter the property, you'll notice that the driveway will take you further passed the home and completely separate you from nearby surroundings which leads directly into an impressive, park-like setting. Although the home is positioned along a well-traveled roadway, the nearly . 95-acre property unfolds behind it into a picturesque backyard that feels peaceful, private, and removed from the activity beyond it. For someone who enjoys nature, outdoor entertaining, gardening, recreation, or dreams of creating a personal backyard oasis, this property provides the space and setting to make that vision a reality. Inside, the home has been exceptionally maintained and is truly move-in ready. Beautiful parquet flooring flows gracefully throughout the main level, adding warmth and timeless character. Don't want to use too much electricity from the recessed lighting? No problem. A magnificent warmth of natural light flows throughout the home. The kitchen offers ample storage, upgraded cabinetry, granite countertops, and charming island seating for two. The home is classified as a three-bedroom property, but its layout is unique and should be understood before entering. Two of the bedrooms are arranged in a tandem-style configuration, with one room accessed through the other. This is not the traditional layout found in many newer homes—and for the right buyer, that is where the opportunity begins. These adjoining rooms can function as a private two-room suite, offering space for a bedroom with an attached home office, nursery, dressing room, sitting room, creative studio, fitness area, or quiet retreat. This flexible arrangement may be especially appealing to someone who values dedicated work-from-home space or would rather have connected, purposeful rooms than three completely separate bedrooms. The walkout basement provides even more usable space, includes the home’s second full bathroom, and offers direct access to the remarkable backyard. Whether used for entertaining, hobbies, guests, recreation, or additional living space, the lower level adds another layer of versatility to the home. There are no major projects waiting for the next owner. The home has been cared for with pride, thoughtfully maintained, and is ready to be enjoyed. A new roof was installed in 2025, many parts of the fence has been repaired, or replaced, and added a new gate in 2026. A few other thoughtful installs have been completed throughout the home. Again, this house is not for everyone. It is not designed for the buyer searching for three traditionally separated bedrooms or a typical neighborhood setting. It is for the buyer who sees value in flexibility, character, nearly an acre of outdoor beauty, and the opportunity to create a lifestyle that feels entirely their own. For that buyer, this may be exactly the home you've been waiting to find.
Welcome to 1822 Foulk Road. A lush oasis nestled in the center of North Wilmington. The drive to Longwood Gardens can wait as you have an acre of incredible usable land for all of today’s needs. Enter from an expansive 6 car driveway into the main living room with a beautiful fireplace, parquet flooring, custom blinds, recessed lighting, and crown molding. Upgrades continue throughout the main level. Dining room is well positioned from the living room, kitchen and family room and has an abundance of light from the back yard. A carefully positioned family room has many options or can be used as a special retreat to enjoy morning coffee overlooking the stone patio into the yard. The kitchen is expansive, with a lot of cabinet space, and granite counters. A sleek design that will always be in modern taste. The bedroom wing is comprised of the master bedroom, and 2 similar style rooms across the hall with an updated full bath. The 2 secondary bedrooms offer the opportunity for a master retreat, a private bedroom and office, and a sitting room. Or you can simply make a minor adjustment and use the 2 bedrooms as separate areas. The finished basement is huge and has all the amenities needed. Ample lighting, updated ceiling tiles, custom wood trim, an updated full bath with stand-up shower. A laundry facility with storage, and a separate room as an office. Basement has easy access to the outside. The back yard must be seen to appreciate. Nothing on the market compares. Designed specifically for relaxation, privacy, as well as gatherings. 3 separate outdoor living spaces with patios/decks. The lot is beautifully landscaped with mature plantings, large trees and bushes. The driveway extends discreetly from the side of the house to an additional detached garage. This home is a must see, for any buyer in the area. Do not let this go unseen. A new roof and a new well. Move in condition. Realtors, take your time and be mindful of the value, as it is priced aggressively and to sell. Check with the New Caste County on possible commercial use (Insurance, Accounting etc. ) The back yard may have subdividable capabilities. Buyers, add your dream addition, install a pool! Best house on the market, come make it your home!
