Welcome to this fabulous contemporary home situated in a private woodland retreat, yet only 5 minutes from the center of Hockessin. Enjoy the beautiful woodland views as you enter the circular driveway on this 1.5 acre property. The main level opens to a sunken living room with light from the sliding doors streaming into the angles of the rooms and bamboo wood floors. A cozy wood-burning stove provides an additional heat source. Step up to the dining area with wet bar and into the eat-in kitchen with custom wood cabinets, granite counters, eat-in island and double ovens. Custom cabinetry in the breakfast area provides plentiful storage for glassware and linens. From there you have easy access to the main floor laundry room/pantry, as well as the powder room. All rooms on the main level are surrounded by glass sliding doors to the 75' deck where you can entertain all your friends! The lower level of the home is finished with a large family room, powder room and a wet bar, with recently updated granite and new sink. There is ample unfinished dry space for additional crafting or workshop. Pella sliding doors take you the brick patio with fire pit, where you can roast marshmallows or relax and watch the birds. The oversized two-car garage has significant storage with built in cupboards and an extra high ceiling for bike storage or multi-layer cars. The upper level holds 4 generous bedrooms, each with a private balcony for reading, sunning or simply watching the wildlife. The freshly painted master is large & bright with a side room that can be used as a sitting room, office or closet/dressing room. A walk-in closet and large master bath with Jacuzzi tub complete the room. The hall bath has a recently renovated walk-in shower and upgraded Carrara marble vanity top. Take note of the multi-floor copper art piece, custom built by the original owner, in the center of the stairwell. Brand new Lennox High Efficiency Furnace propane furnace installed 12/20! Other enhancements to note: New septic installed 2017 and re-certified in January! New roof sections completed just two years ago. Deck repainted last year. Granite added to kitchen this month! Much of the home repainted within last 3 years. This home is move-in ready!
