Property Description
Tucked away in Claymont, Delaware, The Lackey Mansion at 2700 Philadelphia Pike is a historic yet often overlooked treasure. This grand estate seamlessly blends historic charm with modern potential, offering commercial zoning and a sprawling 0.68-acre lot. Built in 1918, the mansion boasts over 6,000 square feet of space, featuring distinctive architectural elements such as a durable slate roof and custom window arches, reflecting the area's diverse architectural heritage. While its location is somewhat inconspicuous, accessible via a driveway off Grubbs Landing Road just before W Rivers End Drive, its unique construction ensures it stands out to those who notice it. The Lackey Mansion, like other historic homes in Claymont, has weathered the challenges of highway construction and industrialization, yet it remains ripe with potential. Most recently used as a primary residence, the property exudes a sense of grandeur and homeliness. Whether envisioned as sophisticated office spaces for one or more companies, or preserved as a singular grand residence, the property supports a wide range of uses. This prime location offers a prestigious address for businesses or entrepreneurs eager to establish a presence in a vibrant community, combining commercial visibility with residential elegance.
