A Rare Opportunity to Own a Piece of Camden’s History Welcome to 17 S. Main Street—an enchanting residence tucked away in the heart of the charming town of Camden, Delaware. This is a rare chance to own a piece of local history, steeped in 18th-century charm and timeless character. Once part of the historic 19 S. Main estate dating back to the early 1700s, this unique home was separated in the mid-1800s and now stands as a beautifully preserved treasure on a storybook street rich with nostalgia. Step into the spacious backyard and you’ll find yourself full of endless opportunities for a garden dreamscape—complete with a tiered tree, a breathtaking magnolia, curved brick pathways, and a serene fishpond. A spacious detached garage adds additional room for storage, a studio, or a home office. The original front door opens to a stunning hallway featuring authentic brick flooring, solid wood paneled walls, and a grand fireplace that instantly evokes warmth and history. The cozy eat-in kitchen offers exposed wood beams, a period-style oven and cooktop, built-ins, a wood stove, and beautifully preserved hardwood floors that carry the charm of yesteryear. The expansive great room features wide plank hardwood floors and a striking fireplace—perfect for unwinding or entertaining. Upstairs, you’ll find three inviting bedrooms and a full bath. The primary suite is generously sized and includes custom closet space rarely found in homes of this era. The home offers a shared driveway with private parking, as well as ample street parking. Conveniently located within walking distance to local parks, shops, Route 1, and Dover Air Force Base—and just a short drive to Delaware’s beloved beaches—this home is a true gem, easy to show, and ready to welcome its next chapter.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
