About This Home
As of February 2023***MULTIPLE OFFERS - PLEASE SUBMIT HIGHEST AND BEST BY 10AM ON MONDAY 1/23 FOR CONSIDERATION. ******You are sure to fall in love with this exquisite Townsend Village beauty! 345 Helen Drive is in the coveted Appoquinimink School District midway between Wilmington and Dover, Delaware. Sitting on a premium lot with no neighbors to the rear except for the stunning sunsets you will see in the evenings and the occasional deer. Step inside the 2-story foyer and you’ll think you’re in a model home. Sellers have had custom decorating done throughout the home that is neutral and tasteful. You will love having luxury vinyl plank flooring throughout most of the main floor. The open floorplan is ideal – a formal living room, office and half bath adjoin the bright and airy family room which opens to the kitchen. The family room boasts a gas fireplace and plenty of natural light from multiple transom windows. Ebony cabinetry and coordinating granite countertops give the kitchen its sleek lines. Here you’ll find not one, but two breakfast bars – one being on the custom center island. A suite of stainless appliances includes a gas range. Access to the garage and a first-floor laundry are close by. A separate morning room accommodates even the largest of tables, and gives you the perfect spot to watch that sunset at dinnertime. When the weather warms up, the paver patio in the spacious fenced yard will be your favorite spot to host a bbq. The second level of this elegant home doesn’t disappoint. The owner’s suite has a beautiful tray ceiling, double walk-in closets, and a 4 piece bath with a separate water closet. You’ll agree it’s the perfect spot to settle in for a hot bath at the end of a long day. Across the catwalk that overlooks the family room are 3 additional bedrooms and a shared hall bath. Plenty of room for everyone. The basement level of the home is unfinished, but has had some drywall installed. There is both an egress window and a bathroom rough in, should finishing it off be your plan. Call for your private showing or join us for an open house Saturday 1/21 or Sunday 1/22.
