About This Home
As of November 2019Welcome to 221 Thomas Drive in the rural setting offered by Thomas Cove. This home is one of the BEST values in our market today. Located in the Award Winning Appoquinimink School District, this gorgeous 4-bedroom, 3-bath colonial resides in an appealing cul-de-sac on a 0.51 acre premium lot overlooking scenic wetland and pond greenspace. Just east of Historic Odessa in the much sought-after community of Thomas Cove, this home features over 3,000 square feet of excellent spatial layout with well-proportioned rooms with numerous opportunities for the Buyer to personalize the floor plan. Both the living room and office/den are accessible off the entry foyer and provide convertible spaces to suit your lifestyle. The large, open kitchen provides a peaceful view over the greenspace with abundant natural light and access to the composite deck providing stairs to the back yard. A generously-sized dining room features one of the more formal aspects of the home. A main floor full bath and laundry, complete with washer and dryer, are a major convenience. The family room adjacent to the kitchen boasts a wood-burning, marble-faced fireplace, a focal point in this large open space. Upstairs, the expansive main bedroom suite features a walk-in closet, an additional adjacent full closet, sitting area, luxury bath with dual sink vanity, corner soaking tub, separate tile stall shower and WC combined with a comfortable sleeping area. The upper hallway leads to three other well-proportioned bedrooms and a shared full bath. All bedrooms are equipped with ceiling fans for added comfort and economy. The full poured concrete basement providing backyard access through the sliding door is a great opportunity for storage and/or to expand living space with separation from the main floor activities. In addition to the three full baths on the upper two floors. the basement has been plumbed to accommodate another full bath, should the new owners wish such. The perimeter French drain and sump pump protect the space. Although landscaping is represented by beautiful lawns, the lot offers a blank template for the Buyer to personalize the overall outdoor experience. Thomas Cove is a very convenient location for commuting, shopping, entertainment and restaurants with easy access to routes 1, 12, 299 and 301.
