Located on a half-acre cul-de-sac lot in the heart of Hockessin, this beautiful 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath center hall Colonial has been meticulously maintained and offers numerous features and upgrades throughout. Gleaming hardwood floors span most of the main level—including the foyer, living room, and dining room—as well as the entire upper level. Additional highlights include vinyl replacement windows, a newly updated gas heater and central air system (2024), and tasteful paint colors throughout. The spacious eat-in kitchen features granite countertops with an undermount double sink, white cabinetry, recessed lighting, stainless steel appliances including a built-in microwave, and a bright dining area. Just off the kitchen, the family room offers New wall-to-wall carpeting, a brick fireplace with glass doors, detailed moldings, and a nearby powder room. New upgraded sliders from both the living room and kitchen lead to the rear deck. Upstairs, you’ll find four generously sized bedrooms, including a primary suite with two closets, a dressing area, and a full bath, along with a well-appointed hall bath featuring a double-sink vanity and tiled tub/shower. The finished basement with brand-new carpeting and recessed lighting provides flexible space for a family room, media room, or additional living area. Outdoor living shines with a 50-foot composite deck complete with 2 auto-retractable awnings and vinyl railing—perfect for summer dining, relaxing evenings, and enjoying the Hockessin fireworks. Completing this exceptional home are a main-floor laundry room and a 2-car oversized turned garage. A truly wonderful place to call home.
