503 Equinox Dr Bear, DE 19701

Come home to Meridian Crossing, Northern Delaware’s finest new community. This lovely, modern Colonial style single-family house is a rare find: move right into nearly-new construction (built 2019) without the hassle of building on your own. With 4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and an expansive finished basement, this spacious home offers over 3700 sq. ft. of living space. On the main level, upgraded espresso hardwood floors extend throughout the open-concept great room that serves as the heart of the home. The living room, dining, and kitchen areas all flow into one with 9-foot ceilings and windows on all sides to create a bright, comfortable place to gather. The well-appointed kitchen features extended white cabinetry with soft-close drawers, slider storage shelves, dazzling grey and white granite countertops and large island, and Whirlpool stainless steel appliances. Rounding out the main level, there is also a bedroom and adjacent full bath, providing an ideal area for visiting guests. Heading upstairs, light floods in through the extra tall windows, and you'll find a convenient second-floor laundry room off the top landing. There are two nice-sized secondary bedrooms on this floor with a full bathroom located between. Double doors open to a spacious master suite with an ample walk-in closet. The elegantly tiled en-suite master bath features a separate water closet for extra privacy, dual vanity with lots of counter space and cabinet storage, along with a full wall mirror. For bathing, choose between the glassed-in shower with bench, or for a spa-like experience, luxuriate in the deep soaker tub with a glass of wine. The huge finished basement with egress adds an additional floor of living space, large enough to serve multiple purposes. Offering comfort both inside and out, this home features an inviting partial wrap-around porch with room for family and guests to gather during the warmer months, overlooking colorful garden beds that add to the house’s charming curb appeal. The planted perennials ensure that you can enjoy an array of blooms year after year. And out back, there is a raised double garden plot, currently home to bountiful tomato and pepper plants. You’ll also find the detached two-car garage behind the house. For added security in this already safe neighborhood, brand new fingerprint recognition deadbolts were recently installed, and there are motion-activated flood lights in the front and back of the house along with Ring video doorbells, which can remain if the new owners choose. A definite highlight of this home is the community. With acres of beautifully manicured grounds, ponds, fountains, and open green spaces, Meridian Crossing is the perfect place to call home. Sidewalks on every street along with nature trails make this a highly walkable neighborhood and great place to get outside. Residents can also take advantage of a variety of amenities, all included in the reasonable HOA dues ($148/month). Hang out in the community clubhouse, work out in the fitness center, get physical on the basketball, tennis, or volleyball courts, or go for a swim and soak up the sun at the massive pool that brings neighbors together in the summertime. There are also multiple playgrounds, including one located just at the end of the block. With so many options to stay active, you’ll enjoy the convenience of year-round maintenance-free living, as your HOA fees also cover all lawn work and snow removal. Take advantage of the ease of suburban living while still having multiple metro areas within reach. Be on the Wilmington riverfront in 15 min and at PHL airport/Philly in less than 45, with Baltimore, NYC, DC, and tri-state beaches all within only a couple hours drive!
