About This Home

As of June 2025

This breathtaking home in the Estates of Corner Ketch backs to White Clay Creek Preserve and is an absolute must see! From the outside in, this home exudes pride of ownership and classic perfection. Immediately notice the beautiful curb appeal that showcases gorgeous landscaping and hardscaping, tree lined views, updated exterior lighting with a modern flare, the 2-car turned garage which is aesthetically pleasing and so much more. Step on to the front porch with a decorative cover with wood ceiling and through the welcoming front door flanked by two bright sidelights. Inside the foyer you will immediately notice the tall ceilings that flow throughout this entire home. The cheerful living room boasts neutral carpet, decorative crown molding and chair rail, recessed lighting, tall windows with cheerful transoms to let even more light into the space and so much wall and floor space to arrange your furnishings and decor. The dining room is also located off the foyer and showcases even more gorgeous moldings, neutral carpet, tall windows and ample space. This room flows right into the kitchen where you will find ample white cabinetry, recessed and pendant lighting, a center island with more storage and a gas cook top, double wall oven, garden window above the double sink, a deep pantry closet and more. Step down into the eat-in area where you will find even more hardwoods, vaulted ceilings with a bright and cheerful skylight and convenient access to the back deck, garage and private laundry room. This room expands the kitchen creating a very open and airy floor plan to be enjoyed by you and your guests. Access the gorgeous two-tiered back deck from here with stairs and rail to the yard. Here you will delight in exquisite wooded views all year long. This outdoor space is a true haven; it is remarkably tranquil and peaceful. The private laundry room offers a very convenient side walk-out feature that you will put to very good use. There is so much more to uncover on this first floor as you step into the family room with the most gorgeous picture window overlooking the tree lined back yard and parkland , there is bench seating for you here as well and notice the very cozy fireplace with brick surround and mantle, recessed lighting, a very useful alcove for storage, a desk area, and more. Continue upstairs to find four very large bedrooms all with neutral carpet, bright and cheerful windows, large closets and ceiling fans. The primary bedroom has stunning hardwood floors and is an absolute dream suite as it offers a sitting area that can serve a variety of purposes that overlooks gorgeous views, a walk-in closet for plenty of storage and a very attractive updated bathroom with a tiled stall shower with glass enclosure, double sink vanity and useful linen closet. There is still more to see! Can you believe it?! The basement offers a beautiful finished area perfect for entertaining, working out, relaxing and more. There is a storage room you will surely put to good use as well as a workshop you will love. Imagine all of the possibilities for this space and all of the projects you can complete! This room walks out to the generously sized yard with so much privacy for you to enjoy. In addition to backing to the White Clay Preserve there are more bonuses for you to enjoy including convenient proximity to downtown Newark and Main Street, the University of Delaware, restaurants, shopping, parks, schools, nature trails, Christiana Hospital and more! You have stepped right onto the end of the rainbow with this precious gem.
