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.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
