About This Home
As of July 2018Many memorable trips around the sun have been enjoyed by the original owners of this beautiful home at 204 Mercury in desirable North Star. Well-loved and maintained, this spectacular 3475 square foot, 4/5 bedroom, 3.5 bath Cape is nestled on a lush, park-like .91 acre setting and is available for immediate occupancy. The welcoming entry greets you with a handsomely classic oak staircase and newly finished hardwood floors that lead you to three of the five bedrooms; one currently being enjoyed as an office and the expansive Owner's suite with full bath, hardwoods beneath most carpet and closet space galore. The expansive living room is open to the dining room and flooded with natural light via the stately picture window that showcases the private backyard boasting mature trees and shrubs. You can also enjoy this view with your morning coffee from the three season porch located just off the family room with floor to ceiling brick fireplace; currently propane, but easily returned to wood-burning if you choose. The nearby, sunny kitchen offers generous cherry cabinets including a pantry, Corian counters, ceramic tile floors and a nice dining space. Doing laundry will be a delight, not a chore, in the over-sized, well-planned space all decked out with loads of storage, coat closet, full size kitchen sink, upright freezer and folding counter. Here you can access the two car garage with pedestrian door that leads to the extra wide driveway which meanders along it's side for overflow parking. Upstairs you'll find two charming bedrooms with hardwood floors, twin closets at dormers in each and one with skylights and walk in access to over 800 square feet of floored attic for even more storage or just about anything you can dream it should be. Full bath with unbelievable counter space completes the second floor. To the basement you go, where lots of proud projects have been created in the amazing workshop spaces which are all set to go for the woodworker or hobbyist with solid work benches, pegboards, shelving and walk-up "Bilco" door providing an easy flow for materials. Community pool and amenities available. North Star Elementary feeder pattern per Red Clay SD website. Country living close to restaurants, shopping, Gyms in nearby Hockessin, Pike Creek and Newark. New Septic to be completed prior to closing.
