About This Property

Step into a piece of Claymont history and reimagine it for today. Built in 1909 as the John Bird House, this striking Victorian-inspired residence sits on 1.27 acres and offers an exceptional blend of charm, space, and versatility. The main home spans approximately 2,900 square feet, showcasing a classic turret, gabled rooflines, and large sunlit rooms framed by original woodwork. The entry opens to a warm, wood-detailed foyer leading into formal living and dining rooms, each with character features intact. The kitchen, the heart of the home, is surrounded by windows, offering views of the pool and grounds. Upstairs, the primary bedroom is expansive, with a massive walk-in closet and an adjoining sunroom wrapped in windows, perfect for an office, lounge, or extension of a future owner’s suite. Two additional bedrooms, one with terrace access, complete the second floor, while a walk-up attic offers the opportunity to add even more living space. The main level includes a bright sunroom currently housing an indoor hot tub, ready for transformation into an entertaining space or private retreat. While the home has been loved for many years, it is ready for your vision to refresh and personalize it to suit your style. Outdoors, the in-ground pool is the centerpiece of the property, surrounded by sun patio and shaded seating areas. A standout feature is the detached five-car garage with a private two-bedroom apartment above. At over 1,600 square feet, the apartment includes a full kitchen, living room, spacious bedrooms, a full bath with washer and dryer, and both a side porch and a massive front deck that doubles as covered parking below. The extensive driveway and paved areas provide abundant space for multiple vehicles, trailers, or business equipment, and a small brook at the rear leads to an additional portion of the property with road frontage, offering an open opportunity for recreation, gardens, or potential subdivision. Whether you are envisioning a private residence with room to grow, a multi-generational compound, a home-based business setup, or a car enthusiast’s paradise, this property offers historic charm, unmatched scale, and endless potential to make it uniquely yours. Buyer is responsible for verifying all measurements, square footage, and property details to their own satisfaction.
