Welcome to 13 E Weald Avenue in the Porter Square community of Bear, Delaware. This 3-bedroom, 1.5-bath split-level offers a finished lower level, an attached 1-car garage, a fenced backyard, and a list of updates already taken care of, so you can settle in instead of tackling projects.
Inside, the windows have been replaced and carry a lifetime transferable warranty. The kitchen features granite countertops, and the home is kept comfortable year-round with a heat pump and central air. The finished lower level adds flexible square footage with brand-new carpet backed by a 5-year warranty. Use it as a second living room, home theater, game room, home office, gym, or hobby space. The layout gives you separation between the main living level and the lower level, a setup that works well when more than one thing is happening at once.
Out back, a maintenance-free rear deck overlooks the fully fenced yard, with a large storage shed (added in 2020) for lawn equipment, tools, and outdoor gear. The lot is approximately 0.18 acres, and the attached garage provides covered parking plus extra storage.
The location puts everyday needs within easy reach. Glasgow Park is minutes away with paved walking trails, a fenced dog park, a fishing pond, tennis and basketball courts, a skate bowl, a sensory playground, a sledding hill, rental pavilions, and a farmers market. Lums Pond State Park, Delaware's largest freshwater pond, offers kayaking, canoeing, disc golf, camping, and the 8-mile Little Jersey Trail, plus the Go Ape Zipline and Adventure Park. The Michael N. Castle C&D Canal Trail provides a flat multi-use path toward Delaware City.
