Bancroft Cottage - Elegant Parkway Home - Near Trolley Square | House in Wilmington

This charming and well-appointed Cape Cod Revival cottage sits on a corner lot of elegant Bancroft Parkway, near Wawaset Park. Featuring a screened-in porch, gourmet kitchen, and private parking, Bancroft Cottage welcomes family groups as warmly as it does visiting professionals.
Despite the peaceful location, the property is very much ‘in town’ — within walking distance of Wilmington’s Trolley Square, the Delaware Art Museum, and a 10-minute drive to the Amtrak station and business district.
The space
The property features two large upstairs bedrooms with queen beds, televisions and space to unpack. In addition, there is a first floor twin bedroom/office, and a finished basement with two twin beds for overflow guests. Each bedroom features high-quality linens and mattresses. A ‘secret room,’ connected to an upstairs bedroom, has a bed for a youngster (adults will need to duck to access it).
Each floor features an upgraded bathroom (including a walk-in shower on the first floor) and guests are provided with ample fresh towels & washcloths for their stay.
The open-plan kitchen and dining area has been remodeled to an exceptionally high standard, with custom cabinetry, granite countertops, a generously sized double oven and refrigerator and freezer. Even the most discerning home chef will find all necessary cookware, while the dining room can extend to seat up to eight.
The living room with its fireplace, 52” television & wine bar is a great place to relax, entertain and leads to the charming screened-in porch with its views onto the property’s mature trees and quiet Parkway.
The backyard features lush planting, a patio with a dining table, and a gas BBQ (in season).
Modern conveniences including a dishwasher and laundry facilities are at your disposal.
As remote hosts we are available to you during your stay and are delighted to provide you with our favorite recommendations in and around Wilmington — including: dining at the (nearby) Colonial Inn and Wilmington Riverfront; the du Ponts’ ‘Nemours Estate’ and ‘Winterthur Museum’; and, the picturesque Brandywine River Valley made famous by the painter Andrew Wyeth.
Farther afield is historic Philadelphia with its international airport (30 min.) and Delaware’s famous Rehoboth Beach resort (2 hours).
