About This Home

As of April 2025

What a find!!!! Beautiful Colonial at Spring Creek in desirable Appoquinimink school district. So close to the Fairview campus that you can see your children as they go to school!!! Home promotes convenient access to the campus via the neighborhood walk through. Situated in a coveted cul de sac, this gorgeous stone-front home offers many amenities and checks so many boxes for any serious home buyer. Let's start with the elegant Palladian windows that draw you in. As soon as you open the front door you are greeted with a grand two story foyer with glossy hardwood floors. One cannot help but be in awe of the formal living room with its bold walls, creamy lush carpet and beautiful, large bay window that floods the space with natural light. On the other side of the foyer is a large formal dining room with a decorative chair rail, brass chandelier and continuing hard wood floors that take you into the gourmet eat-in kitchen. This kitchen features recessed lighting, a center island, gas stove, built in microwave,dish washer,corner sink with not just one , but two windows, a desk area and an abundance of storage with a built in pantry and 42' cabinets.. Beside the kitchen is a cute powder room and a convenient main floor laundry/mud room with a tub sink. Make your way to the two story, open family room that is so inviting with a gas fireplace for cozying up on the couch on cool evenings. The windows are over sized for more natural light to come into this home and all have blinds for light control when you need it. For added comfort, this fabulous room is complete with a lighted ceiling fan. Off the family room is a quiet office/study with a large window and double doors for privacy. It would make a great play room too!! Make your way up the soft carpeted stairs to find three NICE sized bedrooms with ample closet space and each have a ceiling fan. The hall bath features a useful double vanity, and a shower/tub combo.The upstairs hallway is open to the downstairs on both sides so one may look down to the foyer and family room on their way to the primary suite. The primary bedroom has the same soft, lush carpet, a high cathedral ceiling with ceiling fan, a large walk-in closet and two large windows that lend natural light that brightens up this retreat-like space. The Bathroom has an over sized double vanity, a private toilet closet, jetted tub and a newer glass shower! Wait, there's more!!!! There is a finished basement with walkout steps, great for additional living space and it comes with a flat screen tv! There's also space for a work area and/or added storage. The possibilities are endless down there! Let's not forget about the over sized garage and the large 20x16 deck out back! It's getting warmer outside and you will want to use it all the time unless you want to take advantage of the newer HVAC installed in 2020....What are you waiting for? Make your appointment ASAP!!! Home is being sold "as is."
