Tucked away on a quiet street in the heart of popular North Wilmington neighborhood Surrey Park and shielded by a natural “mini forest” along Saddler Lane, this 5 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom colonial home offers a rare sense of privacy while remaining close to everything North Wilmington has to offer. Within walking distance are Silverside and Lane Swim Clubs, Bonsall Park, and Talley Day Park—making it easy to enjoy an active and connected lifestyle. Flooded with natural light, the home was intentionally positioned to capture morning sun in the backyard, where the kitchen and family room are located, and afternoon sun in the front-facing sunroom and game/living room. Designed with both convenience and hospitality in mind, the property features two driveways with abundant parking—perfect for entertaining, carpools, or guests – as well as an extra spot for regular parking outside the 2-car garage. Inside, extensive renovations and thoughtful upgrades elevate daily living while details like sun-soaked spaces and the flow of the floor plan make the home both stylish and functional. Highlights include an architect-designed sunroom, Pella replacement windows throughout, hardwood flooring, a spacious primary suite with updated private bath and huge custom walk-in closet, thoughtfully designed family room with rear-channel surround sound speakers hidden in the ceiling, and a two-zone HVAC system for comfort upstairs and down. The beautifully renovated eat-in kitchen is equipped with premium features such as a Bosch dishwasher with wood paneling that blends into the custom cabinetry, sleek black appliances, and large island with storage. A Frigidaire freezer in the adjacent laundry room adds extra storage. A large drop zone walk-in closet just inside the mudroom makes everyday life simpler by keeping essentials neatly organized. A laundry chute from the 2nd floor empties to the laundry room with Whirlpool washer and dryer. Paver patio overlooks spacious rear yard, providing ample space for recreation and gardening. Recent updates ensure peace of mind, including new vinyl siding and front entry door (2016), gas furnace and A/C (2017), NEMA 14-50 outlet in garage for EV charging (2022), fully renovated powder room (2022), new gas water heater (2024), new roof (2024), and a new garage door (2025). Looking for a home with a fireplace? You can uncover the original brick fireplace by removing the custom entertainment center in the family room. Surrounded by wonderful neighbors and ideally situated near parks, recreation, and local conveniences, this unique home combines privacy, practicality, and modern design in one inviting package.
