About This Home

As of August 2025

Welcome to this stunning 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home nestled on a beautifully landscaped, oversized wooded lot in the sought-after Hockessin Hills community. This home offers a rare combination of space, comfort, and versatility that is perfect for modern living.

Step inside to find a flexible first-floor primary suite that can easily serve as an in-law suite, complete with extra living quarters. The access to the back deck from the bedroom is delightful. This stunning master has 2 walk-in closets and a very large en-suite bathroom. You can also cozy up next to the fireplace in your bedroom.

In addition to three generously sized bedrooms upstairs, there's a dedicated first-floor office—ideal for remote work or a quiet retreat.

One of the standout features of this home is its incredible garage space: a 2-car attached garage plus an additional 2-car detached garage provides ample room for hobbies, storage, or recreational vehicles.

Enjoy peaceful outdoor living in the expansive backyard, featuring mature trees, lush landscaping, a large deck, and a tranquil fish pond stocked and ready for your enjoyment.

This home is both beautiful and efficient, with three separate HVAC units for zoned heating and cooling, and fully owned solar panels to help reduce energy costs.

With a thoughtfully designed floor plan and endless potential to make your own, this home is a rare gem you won’t want to miss!
