The 1832 riverfront residence was originally constructed for the New Castle and Frenchtown Railroad Company, one of the earliest railroad lines in the country. This once in a generation offering has only had four owners since 1832.   The original railroad office now serves as the main living room showcasing original chair rails, historic doors, antique glass windows, a classic fireplace with mantel, and authentic Carpenter locks. A subsequent two-story frame extension introduced upper-level bedroomsand the side porch overlooking the Delaware River and Battery Park. The house was enlarged again in 1984 to create the expanded kitchen and living area, back stairs, upstairs laundry, two new bathrooms, and a generous primary suite. Updates in 2001 included a remodeled kitchen and matching butler’s pantry, quartersawn white oak Shaker-style cabinetry, restored cast iron bin pulls, white subway tiles, black granite countertops, river-facing built-in bookshelves, and a traditional 19th-century-style Lacanche French stove.   Framed by a cypress picket fence, the outdoor grounds include an informal secret garden, a porch swing with direct water views, a custom potting shed, a cobbled herb path, and mature plantings such as a tulip poplar, yellow-berry holly, Hanaki cypress, and perennial beds. With Battery Park just beyond your garden gate, you'll enjoy an ever-changing waterfront setting where neighbors gather for concerts, art shows, festivals, and seasonal celebrations. The park offers a rare blend of open green space and vibrant community life, all while preserving the historic charm that has made Old New Castle one of Delaware's most beloved destinations.

Single-level living in the Rutledge community of New Castle, Delaware 19720. 154 Sugarberry Drive is a move-in-ready ranch in the Colonial School District, offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, and approximately 2,125 square feet of one-floor living — a genuinely scarce layout where the size-matched competition is two-story. The home shows turn-key. The kitchen is new with black-stainless appliances and a gas stove. There is new flooring throughout, fresh neutral paint, and new windows. Central air conditioning was installed in 2024; the water heater dates to 2020, the roof to 2019, and the furnace to 2014 with the heat exchanger replaced. First-floor laundry, a two-car garage with workbench, and a fenced yard sit on a roughly 0.17-acre lot. The finished basement adds bonus living space the two-story comparables don't offer — use it as a recreation room, home gym, media room, or home office. Because this finished area is below grade, it is not included in the approximately 2,125-square-foot above-grade figure, so the effective livable space is larger than the assessor number suggests. Rutledge Park sits directly across the street. The New Castle County facility includes a playground, basketball court, open field, walking path, and parking — county-maintained recreation immediately opposite the front door, which meaningfully extends the usable outdoor space beyond the fenced 0.17-acre lot. Utilities are public water and public sewer with natural gas heat. A pre-listing inspection is complete and available to buyers. The supply plumbing is polybutylene, disclosed up front and insurable through a homeowner loss-insurance rider — a known, defined item rather than an open question. The Rutledge HOA fee is minimal. Located minutes from Route 13, Route 1, and I-295, with quick access to historic New Castle, Wilmington, and the Delaware riverfront. Single-level ranch, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, finished basement, two-car garage, fenced yard on approximately 0.17 acre, directly across from Rutledge Park, New Castle County park, public water and sewer, natural gas, central air, Colonial School District, low HOA, move-in ready, pre-inspected.
