Welcome to 38 Read Street, a beautifully maintained 4-bedroom, 2 full and 2 half-bath home in the heart of Seaford, Delaware. Ideally located near Hooper’s Landing Golf Course, the community pool, senior center, and local schools, this home combines comfort with convenience. Inside, the main-level primary suite offers a spacious retreat with a large walk-in closet that conveniently includes a new washer and dryer. The flowing floor plan features multiple living areas, including a formal living room, a cozy family room with radiant heat and a separate thermostat, and an office. The kitchen is a chef's delight, boasting all new appliances, a walk-in pantry, a breakfast nook, and a dining area. For convenience, a half bath is located on each level. Upstairs, three generously sized bedrooms, a full bath, and a sitting area provide plenty of space for family and guests. The exterior is just as inviting, featuring a fenced backyard with patios and lush landscaping maintained by a lawn irrigation system. A one-car side-entry garage, a detached one-car garage, and abundant off-street and on-street parking make this home as functional as it is attractive. While the home was originally built in 1947, a major addition and renovation in 2004 nearly doubled the square footage and extensively modernized the property. This comprehensive update included new double-pane windows, security doors, new electrical wiring, and new plumbing. Recent system upgrades provide ultimate peace of mind, including two new central A/C units installed in 2024, efficient natural gas heat, and an on-demand tankless water heater. The property is serviced by City Water and City Sewer and includes a whole-house backup Generac generator. With its blend of classic charm, modern updates, and a prime location, this gem is ready to welcome its next chapter.
