About This Home
As of August 2017This lovely custom-built residence rests on a picturesque 1.84 acre lot adjacent to the Auburn Heights Preserve. A footpath leads from the property to a paved three mile walking/biking trail within the preserve. The stunning location harmonizes with the interior providing a welcoming haven you'll never want to leave. Feel at home in the spacious living room with wood-burning fireplace and French doors that lead to a spectacular all-seasons room. Walls of windows afford dazzling views of the surrounding scenery. Further melding the space with the impressive landscape is a private deck which overlooks the rear yard and supplies fantastic options for entertaining. Whether preparing a meal for yourself or numerous guests, the well-appointed eat-in kitchen is a joy to work in. Adjacent to the kitchen, the inviting family room with brick fireplace provides a wonderful gathering spot while dinner is being prepared. The appeal of this home continues to the upper level master suite with ample closet space and private bath. Indeed, there is no lack of space in this home as it also includes three additional upper level bedrooms and a large bonus room/office with built-ins and access to second staircase. An attached 2 car garage and unfinished walk-out level provides plenty of storage space to accommodate a variety of needs. Location is convenient to downtown Hockessin and is within walking distance to H.B. Dupont Middle School. *Recent updates include fresh paint throughout interior and exterior, all new gutters and downspouts, new shutters, new furnace in 2014, new air conditioner in 2015 and new hot water heater in 2015. Home is priced below appraised value.
