Opportunity knocks! Investor alert! This 3,200 sq. ft. home offers the perfect canvas for transformation. With the potential to create 4-6 bedrooms and 3-4 baths, this fixer-upper presents an incredible investment opportunity. Renovated homes in Hockessin have recently sold for $830,000–$950,000, giving investors a strong profit margin depending on their vision and appetite for renovations. This solid brick home is full of charm and potential but requires a total renovation—a unique chance to design the home exactly the way you want. While updates are needed, the property provides a solid foundation for your renovation plans. The layout allows for endless customization, enabling you to reimagine the space to suit your preferences. With a creative eye, this diamond in the rough can be turned into a true gem! The property offers ample parking, including a driveway and space for 4-5 vehicles. This is an ideal opportunity for investors looking to flip for profit or for buyers who want to renovate their primary residence—without the costly and time-consuming hurdles of ground-up construction. The essential infrastructure (utilities, foundation, driveway) is already in place. Additionally, this property benefits from an established neighborhood, utilities, and strong local demand, allowing investors to maximize layout improvements without the need for full architectural redesign and approvals. The private yard is filled with diverse wildlife, plants, and flowers, backing up to gorgeous woodlands with no neighbors behind. There's also plenty of outdoor space for gardening, activities, or even adding a deck or patio—the possibilities are endless. There is a private driveway off Brackenville Road that serves only three homes, offering exclusivity and privacy. The area is home to wonderful neighbors, creating a welcoming and close-knit community. Prime location! Just 7-10 minutes from major routes (Rt. 7, Rt. 48, Rt. 41, and Rt. 2), as well as Lantana Square, shops, dining, parks, and entertainment. It's also close to the Hockessin Athletic Club—the top fitness facility in the state, featuring five swimming pools and extensive programs for both children and adults.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
