About This Home

As of October 2024

Welcome to this stunning Colonial home by R.C. Peoples in Hockessin Valley, set on a spacious 0.7-acre lot within the desirable North Star Feeder Pattern. This bright and airy residence features 4 bedrooms, 2.5 bathrooms, and a 2-car garage, all complemented by 9-foot ceilings and original hardwood floors throughout the main and upper levels.
Step inside to a welcoming two-story foyer with a gracefully curved hardwood staircase. The formal living room, adorned with crown moldings and large Williamsburg windows, flows into the elegant dining room.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef’s delight, featuring 42" cabinets, Corian countertops, and a generous center island. The adjoining breakfast area leads to a 22' x 30' custom deck through sliding glass doors, offering a perfect view of the backyard.
The inviting family room boasts a vaulted ceiling, skylights, and a brick gas fireplace, seamlessly connecting to a first-floor office space. Upstairs, the primary suite impresses with its vaulted ceiling, luxurious Jacuzzi tub, generous his-and-her walk-in closets, and a private sitting area.
The finished basement, designed with Pergo flooring, Berber carpeting, and home theater wiring, adds even more space for entertainment and relaxation. Recent upgrades include a new roof in 2021, and both the driveway and garage door were redone in 2023.
Don’t miss your chance to own this beautifully decorated home with a brick exterior, large lot, and a host of modern updates. Schedule your tour today!
