Step into the good life with this one-of-a-kind slice of paradise! Tucked just minutes from the Village of Hockessin in the gorgeous Valley View neighborhood, this spectacular single-family home sits on a beautiful one-acre property in the shadow of Ashland Nature Center with views that feel like a peaceful mountain getaway. From winter evenings by the wood-burning fireplace with wood stove insert, to summer mornings on the refinished, three-tiered back deck, to the scenic view from the kitchen window, this home combines off-the-beaten-path serenity with the amenities of one of Delaware’s most sought-after communities and school districts. Note the restored stone retaining wall outside the front door and enter through the covered front porch to be greeted by a spacious living room and an elegant dining room in the front of the house. Both have charming bay windows with benches perfect for plants, pets, or people to sit and catch the afternoon sun. Through the dining room is a sweeping eat-in kitchen with spectacular natural lighting. Be sure to stop and take the first of many long looks out the window over the kitchen sink — from the burst of color in October, to the first snows of winter, to the deer, foxes, and hawks you’ll call across the yard to come see, you’ll be fighting over who gets to do the dishes. Cabinet space and shelving abound — not just in the kitchen, but across the property. Just beyond the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and laundry room with front-load washer and dryer included. The laundry room connects to a two-car garage with a spare refrigerator and enough shelves for even the most hopeless hobbyist. Just in case, the basement also features a full workbench, standing freezer, and extra shelving. But first, let’s trace our steps back up the garage stairs, into the laundry room, past the kitchen and into the living room — while noting the half bath and storage closet to your right. The den is the heart of this home, especially during the colder months with the recent update of the sleek and fully functional wood-stove insert and plenty of firewood on the property. The den connects to the living room but can be separated by two French pocket doors. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The back two rooms are mirror images of one another, each with lots of natural light and a long closet, with the larger third bedroom adding a walk-in closet. That’s not to be outdone by the primary bedroom and en suite custom bathroom, featuring a double vanity that’s fully equipped with — you guessed it! — a ton of storage. The primary bathroom shower, featuring a rainfall shower head, wand, and high-pressure sprayers, is a showstopper—and the toilet is behind closed doors. Sometimes, it’s the little things. The house is serviced by a well with a recently-updated water filter and softener system; a recently installed septic system (2020); a new heat pump (2025); a 200-amp electrical service with an included interlock, sub-panel, and a gas generator to keep your family safe and comfortable no matter what the world throws at you. This incredible home won't last long. Schedule your tour today!

Love a peaceful setting convenient to everything yet feeling like you're miles away on a mountain vacation? Then you must tour this property. Located in the heart of Hockessin, this two story home is situated on a spectacular one acre lot. As you enter the driveway you are greeted by mature natural landscaping that continues as you move toward the home. A stacked stone retaining wall adds to the beauty as you approach the front door. A beautiful paver patio and walkway lead your guests to the front door while a turned 2 car garage gives owners access to a mud/laundry room. The interior has been meticulously maintained and well updated. As you enter this center hall colonial, the foyer is flanked by living & dining rooms that offer an abundance of living space. Both these rooms have natural lighting through large bay windows facing the front landscaping. A stunning stone fireplace with a built in corner cabinet adds both charm & function to the family room. Adjoining the family room is a bright oversized eat-in kitchen. This kitchen has an island, ample cabinets with plenty of storage and a custom stacked stone backsplash. The living & family rooms can be separated by glass pocket doors or keep them open to create fantastic flow. With more and more people working from home, the option of closing off a room with pocket doors seems like a true gem. Along the rear of the home, spanning the entire width, is an oversized two tier deck. From this deck, the views are spectacular and you are immersed in natural beauty. Look down the ridge or take a walk along the paths, this is truly mother nature at her finest. The second floor of this home offers four bedrooms, each with ceiling fans & switched outlets. The master bedroom has an impressive custom tile en suite tastefully done with neutral tones. It is possibly the show stopper of this property. The other three bedrooms are also generously sized. The lower level is a full walk out with french doors. It could easily be finished off to add even more living space. The updates for this home include newer windows, both well & hot water heater are just a few years , and the HVAC is just 5 years young. A completely new septic system was installed in 2020 which gives new buyers complete peace of mind they will not have to incur this huge expense down the road.
