About This Home

As of December 2021

Welcome to 425 Sweetman Dr in the 55+ active adult community of Crossings at Christiana, conveniently located near Rt 1 and I-95 as well as shopping, dining, entertainment, and medical care. This community has a club house with a fitness center, kitchen, and gathering room, where you can socialize with your neighbors or rent it for private events. The homeowner’s association takes care of all lawn maintenance, snow removal, and operation of the club house. This is truly carefree living at its best!

As you walk up the driveway adjoining the beautiful landscaped green lawn, you will notice that this lovingly maintained home offers easy almost-level entry with less than one step. The single-bay garage allows easy access to the home through a door to the living area. When you enter the home, you will first notice the open-concept spacing, with the living room flowing into the dining area and kitchen. A vaulted ceiling in the living room with skylights make the home feel spacious and inviting. A little window bench in the living room provides a cozy retreat for coffee and relaxation.

For those who find stairs difficult, everything needed for living is on the first floor: there is a main bedroom with walk-in closet and a full bath with easy-access, walk-in shower with seating. Beyond the first-floor bedroom through the Anderson door is the patio with a canopy that can be retracted. Shrubs provide privacy from the neighbors and a place for Mr. Pete, the wild rabbit, to burrow. The kitchen features stainless steel appliances and modern country white cabinets, elegant multi-colored backsplash, and spaciously huge, stylish black sink that complements the sleek black SpreadStone countertops. A kitchen island provides extra countertop and extra seating area. The dining area and kitchen flooring is beautiful yet durable dark chestnut-colored Pergo vinyl flooring that looks like wood. The washer and dryer are located on the main floor across from the kitchen. Closet space abounds in this home, with storage space in so many places.

There are steps to the upper floor, where you will find the loft overlooking the living room, another huge bedroom with walk-in closet. You will even find another closet that is located in the walk-in closet itself! The full bath on the upper floor has a standard shower/bathtub. The upper floor bedroom also has a small seating area and a beautiful view of the green landscaping outside. There is another small room on the upper floor that could be used as an office room or for storage. Although all living can be done on the main floor, some residents in the community who wish to avoid stairs have added chairlifts to their homes to get to the upper floor. Upgrades include the HVAC and appliances, which are less than 3 years old. Be sure to visit this charming home and make it your own!
