Welcome to 12 Short Drive, a fully renovated and meticulously maintained home located in the desirable Lancashire neighborhood of North Wilmington. While not new construction, this residence offers the feel of a brand-new home, thanks to extensive renovations and thoughtful design upgrades throughout. The home’s curb appeal is immediately evident, with a newly rebuilt double driveway and walkway, a turned garage, and a classic red brick exterior. A covered front porch invites you inside, where a widened and foyer and double closets provides a welcoming entry and improved flow into the main living areas.
The heart of the home is the stunning kitchen, featuring gleaming quartz countertops, soft-close recessed-panel cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and a large casement window above the sink—perfect for letting in fresh air. Luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout the entire first floor, enhancing both style and durability. The kitchen also includes a breakfast bar. This kitchen is ideal for home chefs and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen, the dining room offers chair rail molding and a bay window with views of the tree-lined backyard. The bright and airy living room features a large front window and a remote-controlled light with color-changing options, adding a fun and modern touch.
The main floor also includes a convenient laundry area with front-loading machines on pedestals. The family room has been converted to a main floor bedroom complete with a brick wood-burning fireplace and a spacious mantle. It can be used as a home office, play room, workout room, bedroom or den. From here, step out onto the expansive 19' x 14' Trex deck, which has been newly resurfaced and offers a serene view of the private backyard. The partially wooded lot provides privacy and a beautiful landscape to enjoy during all four seasons.
Upstairs, you’ll find a remodeled hall bath, the beautifully renovated primary suite with an updated ensuite bath, and three additional generously sized bedrooms. The primary suite features built in closets, as well as a walk-in closet. The original hardwood flooring has been refinished, adding warmth and character. A pull-down staircase provides access to the attic for extra storage. The full basement is ready to be completely finished and has a walk-out door to the backyard.
Additional upgrades include all new windows, a new roof, new interior and exterior doors, a new garage door, a new furnace, new water heater, new sewer line —truly making this home feel brand new.
