Delaware home once owned by Biden up for sale

NORTH STAR, Del. (AP) - An 18th-century Delaware home once owned by former Vice President Joe Biden has been put up for sale.

Biden lived in the stucco colonial home in the 1970s, early in his 36-year tenure as a U.S. senator. He sold the house in 1975.

The News Journal reports that the house was built in 1723. It was also by T. Coleman du Pont, a president of E.I. du Pont de Nemours and Co., who served as a Republican U.S. senator from Delaware.

The 4,875-square foot house is on the market for $800,000.
