ANNE PEOPLES, REALTOR

Description

Rarely available in Hockessin Chase on a premium cul-de-sac lot backing to woods! Step onto the charming covered front porch and into a grand two-story foyer, where an elegant, curved staircase sets the tone for the rest of the home. Enhanced with custom millwork, the foyer is perfectly positioned between the formal living room and dining room, offering a sophisticated introduction to the home’s timeless style. Beyond the foyer, the heart of the home unfolds in the two-story family room, featuring a striking real wood-burning fireplace with stone facade, flooded with natural light from the two skylights and open to the stylish kitchen. The kitchen is a chef’s dream, showcasing Quartz countertops, modern tile backsplash, gas cooktop with downdraft, new stainless-steel appliances, ample cabinet space, and a sunny breakfast nook with direct access to the expansive custom designed deck—built with steel supports for extra durability. Also on the main level is a fifth bedroom or home office, a convenient laundry room with additional access to the back deck, a powder room, and a spacious three-car turned garage. Ascend to the second floor via either of the two staircases and enjoy the dramatic balcony overlook, with views of the foyer in front and family room behind. This level features two well-sized bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath, plus a private guest suite with its own full bathroom. The luxurious primary suite offers a true retreat: enter through double doors into a spacious sitting room, then flow into a generously sized bedroom featuring wide-plank espresso hardwood flooring. An oversized walk-in closet provides ample storage, while the spa-like bathroom impresses with a cathedral ceiling, skylight, dual vanities, soaking tub, and separate shower. The finished walk-out lower level provides even more living space with large windows that fill the area with natural light. It features a full wet bar, media room, exercise area, full-sized wine fridge, and a full bath. From here, step out to a custom hardscaped patio with a relaxing hot tub, all surrounded by serene, wooded views that create a private backyard oasis. This home has been thoughtfully updated with a new dual-zone HVAC system in 2019, a new roof in 2017, a reverse osmosis water filtration system, tasteful landscape lighting, an irrigation system, and fresh neutral paint throughout. Located within the highly sought-after North Star Elementary School feeder pattern and just minutes from shopping, parks, and health clubs. This home offers not only luxurious living, but also an incredible opportunity in one of Hockessin’s most desirable neighborhoods.
