Step into a piece of Delaware history at 504 Harvey Road, a beautifully renovated 1930 farmhouse that stands as one of the earliest homes built on the former Harvey Family farmland. Thoughtfully and comprehensively renovated in 2020 while preserving its timeless character, this 3-bedroom, 2 full bath, 1 half bath home offers the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience. Inside, you will find gleaming hardwood floors, high ceilings, and an open-concept layout designed for today's lifestyle. The updated kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ample space for gathering and entertaining. A dramatic beamed ceiling adds architectural character, while the main-floor laundry provides everyday convenience. The spacious primary suite includes a private en-suite bath. All bathrooms have been beautifully updated with modern finishes, creating stylish and functional spaces throughout the home. The extensive 2020 renovation included a new roof, siding, HVAC system, lighting and flooring as well as plumbing and electrical upgrades, offering the peace of mind that comes with major system and structural updates already completed. Enjoy relaxing in the welcoming enclosed front porch or hosting family and friends outdoors on the paver patio beneath the pergola. The large double lot offers exceptional outdoor space with mature landscaping, established plantings, and a storage shed. A long driveway with turnaround provides abundant off-street parking. Additional features include a dry basement with sump pump system for added peace of mind. Rich in local history, 504 Harvey Road represents a surviving fragment of the expansive Harvey Family farm, one of the earliest Quaker landowners in the region and whose agricultural lands once stretched across what is now Claymont and the Arden communities. As the region evolved from farmland into residential neighborhoods, this home remained on its original .32 acre lot, serving as a tangible link to the area's transition from dairy and crop farming to suburban development. Located near the Arden Communities and the historic Harvey barn- now home to the Candlelight Music Theatre, Delaware's oldest dinner theatre- this property offers a rare opportunity to own a distinctive piece of Delaware's past while enjoying the comforts of modern living. A truly one-of-a-kind home where history, character, and contemporary updates come together beautifully. ***SHOWINGS BEGIN SUNDAY, JUNE 28th, at the OPEN HOUSE from 12:00-3:00 PM.
