About 7 Rodman Rd

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.
