Welcome to this unique raised ranch nestled in the heart of historic Yorklyn! Once three original stone foundation walls, this unique home has been meticulously updated, blending contemporary style with timeless period details. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by the warmth of vaulted ceilings and the rustic charm of wood beams, creating an inviting atmosphere throughout. The open and flexible floor plan allows for seamless flow between living spaces, perfect for both entertaining and everyday living. The kitchen is a chef's delight, featuring Hickory cabinets, a breakfast bar, and maple grain laminate flooring. Natural light pours in through Andersen windows, illuminating every corner of the home, while recessed lighting adds a modern touch. French doors off the living room and master bedroom lead to a stamped concrete patio, offering a serene retreat for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings enjoying the breathtaking views. Downstairs, the den with a full bath is extremely versatile. It could double as a guest suite, home office, craft area, or exercise room - providing ample space for hosting visitors or relaxing with loved ones. Outside, the maintenance-free stone and beaded-edge vinyl siding ensure easy upkeep, while the oversized two-car garage offers both practicality and potential. With abundant space for tools, equipment, and vehicles, it’s ideal for use as a mechanic’s shop, workshop, or hobby area. Whether you’re a craftsman, car enthusiast, or simply in need of a functional workspace, this versatile area provides endless possibilities to suit your needs. Located just minutes from Dew Point Brewery, Auburn Valley State Park, Mason Dixon Trail, Ashland Nature Center, the Creative Center for the Arts, and the Yorklyn pool and tennis courts, this home offers convenient access to outdoor recreation and community amenities. And with Downtown Hockessin just minutes away, you'll enjoy the best of both worlds – the tranquility of a wooded setting without sacrificing the convenience of being close to numerous shops and restaurants, athletic centers, shopping centers, the library and more! Showings start Friday, 10/17 and we will be hosting an open house from 11-1pm on Saturday, 10/18.
