About the Listing CRWHME03 - 3228087
Step into the past and own a piece of Delaware's history with the Dilworth House, one of the earliest homes built in the state by Olla Jansen, a Swedish colonist from the 1600-1700 Native American Period. Situated on 12.25 acres of pristine land that backs up to the Augustine Wildlife Preserve, this property is a rare find, offering both a home and a rich connection to the past. The Dilworth House is a true gem, showcasing some of the finest early masonry craftsmanship in Delaware. The distinctive "diapering" pattern, glazed brick in diagonal lines, adorns the gable ends, while stepped belt courses and intricate framework add to its historic charm. Inside, you'll find beautifully exposed beams and brick fireplaces, which once served as the heart of the home’s heating system, with the house originally built in two sections and warmed by a single chimney. This three-story home offers 6 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half bathrooms, with a fully finished attic on the third floor providing additional living space. The partial basement remains unfinished. Updates over the years have enhanced the home’s functionality, while carefully preserving its historic features. Most of the home remains in it's original state which will require work. For those with a passion for farming, mechanics, or automobiles, this property offers everything you could need. A silo, milk house, dairy barn, cow shed, and storage shed are all included, with the barn having been converted into a workshop—though it could be easily repurposed for a variety of uses. The expansive grounds also offer the possibility of subdivision, providing ample opportunity for future development. This is a once-in-a-lifetime chance to own a truly historic property in a prime location. Don't miss out, schedule your tour today!
