Description
Wow! This 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial—the largest model in the sought-after Chesapeake Meadows community within the Appoquinimink School District—sits on a beautifully landscaped .89-acre private lot and is loaded with custom upgrades.
A newly paved driveway and Cambridge paver walkway lead to the welcoming 2-story foyer, highlighted by a grand chandelier draped from a custom-painted medallion. Flanked by formal living and dining rooms with hardwood floors, wainscoting, and crown moulding, the foyer opens to a light-filled 2-story family room with a gas fireplace, marble surround, upgraded efficiency fan, and accent lighting tucked behind moulding. French doors lead to a private study, while a dual staircase enhances flow and design.
The gourmet kitchen features Corian countertops, center island with pendant lighting, stainless steel appliances, 42” cabinets, ceramic tile backsplash, spacious pantry, and a full-sized built-in desk. A butler’s pantry offers the perfect spot for your coffee station or glassware. The kitchen opens to the outdoor entertaining spaces: a two-level stone and paver patio with extensive landscape lighting, Coleman spa, lush garden beds, and a park-like backyard bordered by mature trees for privacy.
Upstairs, a dramatic open catwalk overlooks both the family room and foyer, enhancing the home’s airy design. The luxurious primary suite includes a vaulted ceiling with custom trim, sitting area, spa-like bath with soaking tub, walk-in shower, and dual sinks, plus an extraordinary 21’ x 16’ dressing room with custom cabinetry, deep drawers, and a storage bench. Three additional spacious bedrooms share a dual-sink hall bath. Plush new carpet runs throughout the second floor.

Climate and Weather
The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
