1411 SE Delaware Avenue

Location, Location, Location! SE Delaware has been a coveted address since the early 1920s, when local lumberyard entrepreneurs Mr. and Mrs. Kruse decided to build their dream home at 1411 S. Delaware Ave. Their vision was to create a two-story, red brick, Adam Colonial-style home with a basement, and they meticulously designed every detail. The red brick is beautifully complemented by a dentil cornice along the eaves and a white limestone arch framing the front door. Built between 1937 and 1938, this home has been thoughtfully maintained by its stewards to preserve its original charm. The first floor features a cozy family room with the original working gas fireplace, a formal dining room, kitchen, sunroom/TV room, and a half bath. On the second floor, you'll find four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, including the primary bedroom with ensuite bathroom. The basement offers additional living space, with a laundry room, extra family room, game room, or office. The home's warm atmosphere is enhanced by the beautiful wood floors throughout, along with terracotta tile accents. The kitchen has been updated with plenty of cabinet space, double ovens, an island with a gas cooktop, and granite countertops. Recent updates include modernized bathrooms with honed Carrera marble counters, custom vanities, and premium finishes. One of the standout upgrades came in 2022, when the backyard was transformed with a stunning 800 sq. ft. Pennsylvania Bluestone patio, complete with a custom high-end outdoor kitchen and patio heaters for year-round enjoyment. For the young at heart, a Rainbow play structure with rubber mulch was added to ensure both safety and easy maintenance. SE Delaware remains a coveted location today and may just be the place for you to call home!
