Property Description
Welcome home to 14 Cathedral Ave. Tucked beneath a canopy of mature maple trees, this classic colonial sits on a generous lot with sun-soaked front lawn, a paved driveway leading to a detached storage shed. It's the kind of first impression that tells you this isn't just a house — it's a home with roots and room to grow.
Step inside and the character starts immediately: a wide, light-filled enclosed porch framed by a bank of classic double-hung windows, features brand new carpeting and cooled by a ceiling fan, flows seamlessly into the living area and foyer. The brand new flooring and freshly painted walls create a warm and inviting feel. The dining room, anchored by a charming whitewashed brick, wood-burning fireplace, is the place for dinner parties, board games, and hosting holiday meals. Rich, original wood doors, crown molding and trim add a layer of old-world craftsmanship.
The kitchen brings a playful pop of personality with cheerful blue cabinetry, a stylish tile backsplash, and garden views out over the backyard through not one but two windows — plus a classic Dutch-style back door that keeps the space bright and connected to the outdoors. Just off the kitchen, easy access to the fenced backyard makes indoor-outdoor living effortless, whether you're grilling, gardening, or just letting the kids or the dog run free.
Upstairs, a handsome wood staircase beneath a statement chandelier leads to three comfortable bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite, plus two additional bedrooms and a full bath.
Downstairs, a full unfinished basement is a blank canvas — think storage, a workshop, a home gym — already equipped with a workbench and laundry hookups to make it as functional as you need it to be from day one.
Out back, a private, fenced yard centers around a spacious circular patio — an ideal spot for a fire pit, a hammock, or your next cookout — while the detached shed offers extra storage for lawn equipment, bikes, or hobby gear, keeping your garage-free lifestyle organized and clutter-free.
Claymont sits right where Delaware meets Pennsylvania, giving you a rare combination: small-town affordability with big-city access. You're roughly 20 miles from Center City Philadelphia and within easy reach of Wilmington, with I-95, I-495, and Philadelphia Pike all just minutes away for an effortless commute in any direction.
For commuters, the newly built McDowell Transportation Center — Claymont's state-of-the-art SEPTA rail station that opened in late 2023 — puts direct regional rail service to Philadelphia and beyond within easy reach, no highway traffic required.
Outdoor lovers will appreciate being minutes from Naamans Creek, Brandywine Creek State Park's 14 miles of trails, and Bellevue and Fox Point State Parks, while everyday convenience is covered with nearby shopping, dining, and highly-rated local schools.
14 Cathedral Avenue offers the rare combination of original character, thoughtful living space, and a location perfectly positioned between two major metro areas. Whether you're drawn in by the fireplace, the fenced backyard, the commuter rail access, or the momentum building throughout Claymont, this is a home — and a location — worth falling for.
