A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Camden’s History Welcome to 17 S. Main Street—an enchanting residence tucked away in the heart of the charming town of Camden, Delaware. This is a rare chance to own a piece of local history, steeped in 18th-century charm and timeless character. Once part of the historic 19 S. Main estate dating back to the early 1700s, this unique home was separated in the mid-1800s and now stands as a beautifully preserved treasure on a storybook street rich with nostalgia. Step into the spacious backyard and you’ll find yourself full of endless opportunities for a garden dreamscape—complete with a tiered tree, a breathtaking magnolia, curved brick pathways, and a serene fishpond. A spacious detached garage adds additional room for storage, a studio, or a home office. The original front door opens to a stunning hallway featuring authentic brick flooring, solid wood paneled walls, and a grand fireplace that instantly evokes warmth and history. The cozy eat-in kitchen offers exposed wood beams, a period-style oven and cooktop, built-ins, a wood stove, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors that carry the charm of yesteryear. The expansive great room features wide plank hardwood floors and a striking fireplace—perfect for unwinding or entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite is generously sized and includes custom closet space rarely found in homes of this era. The home offers a shared driveway with private parking, as well as ample street parking. Conveniently located within walking distance to local parks, shops, Route 1, and Dover Air Force Base—and just a short drive to Delaware’s beloved beaches—this home is a true gem, easy to show, and ready to welcome its next chapter.
