An Entertainer’s Dream! Welcome to this stunning custom home, gracefully situated in the heart of Hockessin. Showcasing an inviting front porch, remarkable curb appeal, and nearly an acre of land, this property truly stands out. From the moment you step into the open foyer—with its lofty nine-foot ceilings—you'll discover a bright and spacious layout that’s ideal for both relaxed living and entertaining. On the main floor, the gourmet kitchen immediately impresses. Crystal cabinetry, a large center island with seating, granite countertops, and a tasteful tile backsplash set the tone for a chef’s paradise. Premium appliances—such as Dacor cooking, a Thermador built-in refrigerator, and a Bosch dishwasher—ensure every meal preparation is a breeze. Added touches like a pot filler, a dry bar, and a beverage cooler take this kitchen to the next level. Just off the kitchen, the dining area is flooded with natural light, creating a warm space for gatherings. Steps away, the great room draws the eye with its floor-to-ceiling stone and brick gas fireplace, crowned by elegant molding and a stylish ceiling fan. The main-floor primary suite feels like a private retreat, complete with a cozy fireplace, walk-in closet, and pocket doors. Its adjoining bath offers a spa-like atmosphere, featuring a frameless glass shower and dual oversized quartz-top vanities. A second main-floor bedroom with a full bath, walk-in closet, and ADA-compliant pocket doors is equally inviting. Tucked away for peace and productivity, the sunlit study is perfect for working from home, while a well-equipped laundry room and a powder room round out this convenient first level. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms (all prewired for ceiling fans) provide ample space for family or guests—two include charming dormers, and one boasts a tray ceiling. A full bathroom with built-in shelving adds extra functionality, while a large unfinished attic storage area holds endless possibilities. For outdoor enjoyment, you’ll find both a welcoming front porch and a spacious screened porch — both wired for sound. The screened porch, equipped with three ceiling fans, offers a relaxing vantage point for taking in the surrounding natural beauty. Meanwhile, the 20x40 garage and workshop (with a 150 AMP subpanel) provides versatility for projects and hobbies of all kinds. Quality construction details abound. Exterior features include Hardie Board siding and AZEK trim, both prized for their extremely low maintenance. Cedar garage shingles, Marvin Ultimate Series windows and exterior doors, and Zuri decking further enhance durability and curb appeal. Inside, notable highlights range from solid interior doors and Baldwin hardware to high-profile trim, recessed lighting, built-in speakers, and AV wall jacks. Holiday lighting across the front of the home and 2x6 exterior walls underscore the attention to detail, while highly efficient spray foam insulation, Trane natural gas HVAC, and a Rinnai natural gas tankless water heater keep energy costs in check. The full basement—featuring a poured concrete foundation, high ceilings, outdoor egress, and rough-in for a future bath—provides even more room to expand or customize. Convenience is at your fingertips: shopping, dining, and schools are all nearby, along with easy access to Limestone Road and Kirkwood Highway for simpler commutes and errands. If you’re seeking comfort, style, and move-in-ready ease, look no further. This extraordinary Hockessin opportunity won’t last long—schedule your tour and discover all that this exceptional property has to offer.
