This exquisite home is TRULY like nothing else on the market today! Owned by a general contractor with over 20 years of experience and a talented antique enthusiast who has been featured in two magazines and one book for her exceptional Christmas décor, makes this home a must see! Together, they have carefully considered every detail to reflect today’s modern farmhouse, while telling a story rich in history. Almost every element has been renovated and you must see this home in person to truly appreciate the workmanship throughout. From the moment you arrive, you will fall in love with the timeless covered front porch with oversized 6 inch solid wood posts, a gorgeous 15 pane glass door with sidelights, and a new carriage garage door. Then as you step inside, you will simply be in awe! The first thing you will notice are the 5 inch Amish hand scraped hardwood floors, along with custom picture frame molding in the entryway that carries though to the second level. You will also love the 6 inch baseboard molding, adding an extra level of elegance. To the right, is the office with French doors, followed by the powder room which is a showstopper in itself. The beautiful antique vanity was taken from an 1800’s farmhouse and it still has the original soapstone sink and rattail hinges. To the left, you will find the impressive living room and dining room. The dining room opens to the amazing kitchen which is the true focal point of this home. The custom soft closed cabinets are painted and glazed knotty alder wood and compliment the rustic ceramic backsplash. And then you have the stunning brick floor, which makes this kitchen like no other! The attention to detail continues with the exposed wood beam leading to the family room. The family room is also one of a kind with a striking accent wall made out of real barnwood shipped from Kansas City! And the gas fireplace with custom molding from the floor to the ceiling is another example of the fine craftmanship demonstrated in this home. The laundry room finishes the first floor with a brick floor and custom barnwood shelving with an attached antique cupboard for storage! Now let’s talk about the second level. Here you will find the primary suite and 3 well-appointed bedrooms. The primary suite features 7.5 inch engineered hardwood floors and a gorgeous primary ensuite. The ensuite features ceramic tile floors mimicking wood, a custom made painted and aged vanity by Primtiques, with a white ceramic sink and a walk-in shower with a pebble stone floor, tile surround and a bench seat! If you need more space, then head on downstairs to the partially finished basement with built-in bookcases. Other notable features include Irvin’s Tinware two socket copper carriage lamps at the front door and garage, recessed lighting, upgraded hardware, custom trim around the doorways, and so much more! Now let’s talk about peace of mind. The roof was replaced in 2019, tankless hot water heater in 2019, HVAC in 2015, driveway in 2023, and pool pump and chlorination system in 2024. Which brings us to the POOL! Head on out back through the beautiful screened porch with Trex decking and step into paradise! Here you will find lush landscaping with complete privacy as you look out to the woods. And what better way to cool off than taking a dip in the serene saltwater pool, which is surrounded by gorgeous stone pavers and concrete, with a built-in firepit and fenced yard, in the very best cul-de-sac in the neighborhood with only one other home next to it! And if that is not enough, how about living north of the bridge and in the award-winning Appoquinimink school district! All that is left to say is, Welcome Home! And do not forget to check out the video/virtual tour!
