Property Description

Historic Riverfront Retreat with Modern Comforts in Christiana, Delaware Welcome to the Brinkle Maxwell House, a stunningly restored circa-1750 estate situated on 1.47 scenic acres along the peaceful Christiana River in Newark, Delaware. Steeped in Revolutionary War history, this home sits in a village where Washington’s troops were supplied at Christiana Bridge, and where British forces passed nearby after the Battle of Cooch’s Bridge—yet Christiana itself remained untouched. Listed on the National Historic Register, this residence offers all the prestige of a historic property without the restrictions of a historic overlay, allowing for updates and modifications while preserving its timeless charm. The home has been completely renovated, carefully blending original character—such as wide-plank floors, two working fireplaces, and handcrafted details—with modern conveniences. Offering five uniquely styled bedrooms and three full bathrooms, including a first-floor primary suite or in-law quarters (previously a highly successful short-term rental), this home is as functional as it is beautiful. A newly added second-floor balcony provides elevated views of the grounds and river, and features like first-floor laundry and a new detached garage add everyday ease. The expansive backyard is a true retreat, complete with a gazebo, garden shed, and open green space perfect for entertaining or relaxing by the water. Located in the Christina School District and just minutes to Christiana Mall, Christiana Hospital, White Clay Creek State Park, and I-95, this property combines historic elegance with modern flexibility and unbeatable convenience. A rare opportunity to own a fully renovated piece of American history—The Brinkle Maxwell House is ready to welcome its next chapter. Schedule your private tour today.
