Introducing a remarkable masterpiece crafted by J Stevens Construction Inc., an esteemed A+ BBB member. This extraordinary residence, known as the Harmon Talley house, holds a rich history dating back to the beginning of the 1800’s. Meticulously restored on the outside and entirely rebuilt on the inside, this stunning fieldstone house situated on just over an acre in the heart of North Wilmington, is a captivating blend of timeless charm and contemporary luxury. Prepare to be enchanted by the legacy that accompanies this property, as the Talleyville area itself was named after the original owners. Spanning over 4,400 square feet of living space, this home boasts 5 spacious bedrooms, 3.5 baths, and a large 2-car garage. Impeccably combining the allure of the original stone structure with a flexible floor plan and modern construction standards, the property adheres to today's building codes. The two new large additions seamlessly integrate with the existing architectural character. Prepare to be awed by the chef's kitchen, which offers ample space and storage with its abundance of cabinets. The bathrooms showcase custom tiling, and the master suite, with its grand shower, is truly a showstopper. Complementing the aesthetics, the property features durable and stylish wood laminate flooring throughout, complete with a lifetime warranty. Retaining the charm of a bygone era, the restored side porch offers a nostalgic retreat. For outdoor gatherings and entertainment, the new flagstone patio adjacent to the family room provides an ideal space within the vast yard. The restored stone walks leading to the main front entrance, as well as the side porch and side mudroom entrance, evoke a sense of stepping back in time. Noteworthy enhancements include raised ceiling heights and elegant crown molding on the first floor and master suite, adding an element of refined sophistication. Built with meticulous attention to quality, the construction features 2x6 wall studs with R-21 insulation and 5/8th plywood exterior sheathing. The attic is generously insulated with R-49, while the roof sheathing is also constructed with 5/8th plywood. All systems within the property are brand new, including high-efficiency HVAC, plumbing, and electrical systems. For safety and peace of mind, hardwired smoke detectors are installed throughout. Words cannot do justice to this remarkable home.
