Description
Investor or house hacker alert! Welcome to 7 Rodman Road, a rare opportunity to own two separate homes on one generously sized 0.29-acre lot in the desirable Brandywine Hundred community of Phillips Heights. With 9 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and approximately 3,600 square feet of total living space, this is a true multifamily investment with incredible income-producing potential. The main home is a substantial colonial-style residence offering 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. Thoughtful updates include a 35-year architectural roof (2020), vinyl siding (2019), energy-efficient windows (2015), gutters and downspouts, and a hot water heater (2021). Inside, you’ll find spacious living areas including a large (18x16) living room with a brick fireplace, a sunny side-entry sunroom, a formal dining room with hardwood floors, and an eat-in kitchen that opens to a rear concrete patio and grassy backyard. The main level also includes a primary bedroom suite with an attached full bath—ideal for multi-gen living or a flexible work-from-home space. Upstairs are four more bedrooms and a shared bath with a walk-in shower. Tucked behind the main home is a second house known as 7½ Rodman Road. This charming ranch-style property has been divided into two separate rental units: a 2-bed, 1-bath apartment and a 1-bed, 1-bath apartment, each with its own entrance and living space. Like the main house, this building features a newer roof (2020), updated siding (2019), and recent window replacements (2015). There’s a covered carport, a private porch, and additional off-street parking—making it attractive for tenants and owners alike. Whether you're an investor looking to build your portfolio, a buyer seeking rental income to offset your mortgage, or a family needing multi-generational space, this property delivers. Conveniently located near I-95, I-495, downtown Wilmington, the Claymont commuter train station, and just 15 minutes to Philadelphia International Airport, this is a rare and versatile opportunity you don’t want to miss.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
