Description

Introducing the Brinkle Maxwell House, a captivating historic property dating back to the 1750s, perfectly positioned on 1.47 acres along the scenic Christiana River. This remarkable home is deeply rooted in American history—once a key supply point for George Washington’s troops during the Revolutionary War, and situated near the action of the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge. Though surrounded by historical significance, this property offers the rare opportunity to own a piece of the past with modern-day freedom—listed on the National Historic Register without the limitations of a historic overlay. Carefully restored, the home masterfully blends original architectural charm, including wide-plank hardwood floors, dual working fireplaces, and hand-crafted finishes, with the comforts and convenience of today’s living. Featuring five spacious bedrooms and three full bathrooms, this home offers plenty of room for family and guests. A flexible first-floor primary suite—ideal for in-laws or as a private guest retreat—provides ultimate convenience. With a newly added second-floor balcony, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the lush grounds and serene riverfront. For added ease, the property includes a new detached garage, first-floor laundry, and plenty of usable space. The expansive backyard serves as a peaceful oasis, with a charming gazebo, a garden shed, and wide-open green areas that are perfect for relaxing, entertaining, or simply enjoying the tranquil river setting. Located in the sought-after Christina School District, this home is minutes away from Christiana Mall, Christiana Hospital, White Clay Creek State Park, and I-95, offering a rare combination of quiet riverfront living with easy access to nearby amenities and major highways. A truly unique opportunity to own a beautifully restored piece of American history, the Brinkle Maxwell House is ready to become part of your next chapter.
