1315 Richards Aly

This small enclave consists of a private, artistically designed cobblestoned alley, near enough to the heart of town for walking to either downtown or to Trolley Square night life or to the fantastic parks and trails along the river. This is the most elegant of these already refined homes, where each home is designed uniquely. An outstanding home for entertaining, or a pied a terre for business needs in Wilmington. Starting with the wood effect tiled floors on the entrance/lower level, there is just so much more to this home. The coffered ceiling, and exposed brick makes this a refined entertaining family room, which was converted from being a bedroom, but still could easily serve in that function, as it has a lovely full bathroom on this level, as well as a reduced size full kitchen. The spiral staircase allows for so much more open floor space. There is an open floor plan living area with an amazing flow from the living room to the wide open sunroom with California style pocket sliding doors that hide away, leaving the heated sunroom as part of the living room, and on to the deck with pergola. That deck is also the largest arrangement of Richards Alley decks, with a gate in the railing allowing for upper level access when moving furniture. Of course there are hardwoods and crown molding. The sophisticated kitchen is designer filled with custom cabinetry, tiled floor, and soapstone counters. Additional conditioning is provided by LG Art Cool mini-splits on the lower and main levels designed with master works of art framed to cover the units. Finally on the upper level, the really large main bedroom is accompanied by an office/sitting area, and another full bathroom, with stacked washer/dryer. The entryway provides for private off-street parking, and there is a rear pedestrian alley access as well. The bar on the lower level is not included.
