**Buyers, take note: this home comes with a potentially assumable VA loan at just 2.625%, with an approximate remaining balance of $358,126. A VA-eligible buyer willing and able to substitute entitlement could take over this rate through an assumption package with Mr. Cooper and Veterans United, subject to lender approval and buyer qualification. Ask your agent for details.** Welcome home to 545 Wheelmen Street, a beautifully upgraded Middleton Reserve perfectly positioned at the end of the block in the heart of The Town of Whitehall, with open park space right out front. From the moment you arrive, the full front porch sets the tone: a place to sip your morning coffee, watch the park across the way, and greet neighbors as they pass. Step inside and the 9' ceilings and open-concept first floor let you breathe easy, with hardwood floors flowing through the living room, dining room, and powder room, and a stained oak staircase anchoring it all.The kitchen is the true showstopper. An expanded gourmet package brings crown molding and pull-out storage to the elongated 72"-96" island, while the stainless steel gas cooktop, double wall oven, and classic white farmhouse sink make this a space built for real cooking and real gatherings. Cozy up by the 36" gas fireplace with its slate surround and painted wood mantel on cooler evenings, or entertain in style knowing every detail here was chosen with intention. At 2,850 square feet, this home was built out well beyond the standard Middleton Reserve footprint and outfitted with over $60,000 in builder upgrades, a level of size and finish that's hard to find at this price point, especially with the Middleton Reserve now starting at $546,000 base price to build new. Upstairs, the owner's suite offers a private retreat complete with an upgraded tiled shower and comfort-height vanity, while a second full bath and two additional bedrooms provide flexible space for guests, hobbies, or a home office. Downstairs, a largely finished basement with 9' ceilings adds valuable living space, ideal for a rec room, home gym, or media area, complete with a rough-in for a future full bathroom. Thoughtful touches continue throughout: comfort-height toilets and upgraded carpet padding for extra plushness underfoot. But it's not just the home, it's where it sits. The Town of Whitehall is a place designed around everyday life: tree-lined streets, community gathering spaces like Mapleton Square, and walkable access to parks, trails, Peach Grove Market, Pizzeria Metro (arguably the best pizza in Middletown), Christiana Care offices, a wellness center, Ducklings Early Learning Center, an elementary school, and the Beer Garden at Whitehall with live music on weekends, all within the Appoquinimink School District. There are also current plans in the works for a future community pool. You're minutes from the C&D Canal trails, a short drive to Wilmington and the University of Delaware, and under an hour and a half from Delaware's beaches.545 Wheelmen Street isn't just move-in ready, it's upgrade-ready and ready for whatever comes next. Come see it for yourself!
