627 Belgian Dr Bear, DE 19701

Pull into the circular drive of this custom home on large wooded cul-de-sac property. Escape-worthy home -like a retreat in the Poconos, but it is so well located: The C&D canal, Route 1 and Route 896 are all less than 10 minutes away, and U of D is within 20 minutes. Picture yourself on the expansive TREX deck, with hot tub and loads of room for seating, dining, entertaining and playing. Nestled further in the backyard, you can sit in Adirondack chairs around the firepit on a cool evening. Very secluded, very welcoming. The open floor plan of the main level features gleaming, premium wood floors (great room/dining room and library) and provides lovely views of the yard from almost all rooms on the first floor. The beautifully crafted stone fireplace ascends the side wall into the vaulted great room ceiling with skylights and can be enjoyed while lounging by the fireplace or while dining - or when seated at the desk of the open library, adjacent to the great room. The large kitchen has proven worthy of small to large parties, with oodles of cabinet and counter space. Folks can meander through the open space areas, but if the kitchen is your control center for entertaining, you will love the counter and cabinet space, the pantry wall, the 8-foot island with gas cooktop, and the eat-in breakfast area nestled by the window wall,with views of the lovely back yard and deck. Two bedrooms, a full bath and good-sized utility room are also located on the main floor. The balcony with built-in book cases overlooks the foyer and leads to the large master bedroom. Enjoy the huge closet (as big as a bedroom) and the roomy bath with jetted soaking tub, separate vanities and WC. For the hobbyist, crafter, artist or handyperson, the basement is your place! Lots of light through nicely sized windows that look onto the yard. Finished (3rd) bath with shower. Tons of space in the unfinished basement areas that includes: Office; and, a fantastic 2nd room, with miles of counter space and a large island fully plumbed that holds a large tray-style sink. It has been used by the owner for photography but would easily accommodate other uses. Basement rooms spaces were created when the house was built. The 2-car garage is also oversized, with plenty of storage, separate service door, and a ceiling fan! The owner was diligent with upkeep: 2009 -Roof replaced (1 layer); 12/2007- HVAC replaced; 2014 - Drive redone; and, 2005 - Deck was redone. Public water/sewer
