Welcome to one of the finest Ranch Homes you can find anywhere at all. The community of Auburn in Hockessin is one of the nicest and most private communities that you can find. 2 acres of beautiful land is a great benefit as it provides plenty of space for all kinds of activities. This home has magnificent brickwork with weeping mortar, beautiful flagstone front porch, large 3-season porch & a terrific Sylvan In-Ground Pool with a Whirlpool. The back yard has a lovely 8' fence that keeps the deer from eating all the gorgeous flowers. When you visit this home, you are going to want to sit & relax in the back yard for hours & hours. Inside has great features with lots of updates including the HVAC Systems, Roof, renovated kitchen with granite countertops & 42" cabinets, renovated master bathroom, windows & a great "on-demand" tankless water heater. Not only that, you'll truly appreciate the fact that a brand new septic system was installed in July, 2014. "What a Great Bonus"! Enjoy the 2 fireplaces; one in the family room & the other in the downstairs recreation room. The on-site well is 350 ft. deep which means it has some of the best water that you can imagine! The 4th bedroom is currently used as an office area, hardwood floors throughout most of the main floor & pull down stairs for the floored attic means there is lots & lots of storage. Ohhh! Did I tell you about the large 3-car garage!!? Fantastic location & many more amenities. Don't let me bore you; just come take a look! SHOWINGS BEGIN 7/27/14.
