16 Raphael Rd Hockessin, DE 19707

Did you know that translated Bella Vista means “nice view”? Well, you have just found a home that has a beautiful view and more in the desirable neighborhood of Bella Vista, Hockessin. As you approach this brick colonial home, notice the recently re-sealed FLAT driveway. Beautiful trees and specimen plants grace the front yard. Enter the home and you’ll see the 2-story foyer has a gleaming & spotless white tile floor, flanked by an open living room to the left and dining room to the right, both with hardwood floors. Sunshine streams throughout the house from the tall front living room windows through the French doors that connect the living room to the family room and through another set of French doors connecting to the sunroom. These three living areas can be as open or as private as you would like, ideal for today’s living styles. The eat-in kitchen is the hub of the home with sliders opening up to the large deck. The kitchen is neutral grey and white with stainless steel appliances. To the right of the kitchen, find the laundry area/mud room with access to the deck for rainy days. At the end of this hallway you’ll find the main level bedroom, just right for an overnight guest, twin bed or as main floor work-from-home office. A powder room and the 2- car garage are also at this end of the home. Upstairs, you’ll find 3 large bedrooms, big enough for king size beds. The large hall bath has double sinks and all the closets are extra deep. The primary bedroom is spacious with a walk in closet accessed by the bedroom or the bathroom which also has double sinks and is freshly painted in neutral grays. If that isn’t enough living space for you – just head on down to the finished basement! The basement has been well thought out with a separate “gaming” area large enough to hold the optional included pool table, and then a large media room and can even hold a desk for another office space. There’s also a semi-finished area with shelving for a ton of storage and an unfinished dry utility area. You can walk directly out to a patio and the back yard which has lovely perennial plantings and private woods rounding out the .63 acres. From the deck or the yard, enjoy nature as if you were in a remote area, but all within 5 minutes from the heart of Hockessin and easy access to Rt 48 which takes you quickly to wherever you work or play.
