Welcome to the sought-after community of Clairborne, ideally located on the north side of the Chesapeake & Delaware Canal and situated on a spacious half-acre lot. Built by Handler, a name known for Delaware quality craftsmanship, this home offers a solid foundation and an exceptional opportunity for its next owner. Enjoy immediate use of the backyard retreat, featuring a saltwater pool with a new liner and equipment, along with thoughtfully designed outdoor living spaces and mature landscaping—perfect for relaxing or entertaining. Inside, the home offers a traditional layout on the first floor with a living room, dining room, powder room, laundry area, and an eat-in kitchen with butcher block countertops and painted cabinetry. A comfortable family room opens to a large four-season room, ideal for year-round enjoyment. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a walk-in closet with built-ins and a private bath with a stall shower and skylight, while three additional generously sized bedrooms share a full hall bath. The basement offers flexible space for a home office, recreation area, or storage and includes egress for potential future finishing. Significant investments have already been made, including a new roof on the house and shed (2020), HVAC system (2017, approx. $10,500) with 3.5 Ton 16 SEER AC and coil under warranty through May 2027, and recent saltwater pool updates. While the home retains many original features, including windows and bathrooms, it provides a great opportunity for buyers to update and personalize over time. Being sold as-is, this property offers strong value with major systems already addressed, a prime location, and standout outdoor amenities. Enjoy summer by the pool this year and be settled in ahead of America’s 250th celebration. View this listing at: http://homeinhanover.com/mls=DENC2102648
