10 Keaton Avenue

One of Wilmington's most sought-after neighborhoods has a true gem on the market and the address is 10 Keaton Ave. This charming brick cottage is much bigger than it looks from the outside and the best surprise is a detached studio out back that includes a half bath, which could easily be converted into a full bath. This studio could be used as a short-term rental, artist studio, or work-from-home space - the possibilities are endless. The home has many unique features that give it so much character, but it also has modern updates including a kitchen with stainless steel appliances, a gas range, granite countertops, a walk-in pantry and a reverse osmosis system. Downstairs is the living room with a fireplace, two bedrooms, two full bathrooms, kitchen, dining room, a den/office with wood paneling and a generous-sized laundry room/mud room that fits the needs of modern families. Upstairs is an additional bedroom with plenty of space to spread out with a walk-in closet and more storage than you'd expect from a bungalow built in 1941. A fully fenced backyard with lovely mature landscaping and beautiful plants can be enjoyed from the back deck and the 11x12 shed provides additional storage. Brookwood is known by locals as one of the friendliest neighborhoods hosting various community events, enjoying the sidewalks that line the streets, and gatherings in nearby Wallace Park but without the fuss of an HOA.
