Valley Road may arguably be the most iconic road in Hockessin, DE. and is transitioning to be a main thoroughfare connecting West and East sides including sidewalks and New Construction about to commence. Valley Road is one of the last untouched Roads in Hockessin. Welcome to 838 Valley Rd. , quietly tucked off the road, resting on a 0.34 acre flat flagpole lot. Originally built in 1935 and extensively renovated in 2016 keeping its original footprint, but adding all the modern amenities you are looking for today. You will notice the charm and character as you pull down the long driveway which continues inside to the open floor plan and vaulted ceilings in the living room. The Kitchen is a show stopper with SS appliances, granite, accent lighting and a one-off, custom hand built center island. Down the hall you will find a closet, a fully updated full hall bath, 2 large secondary bedrooms and a laundry area. Continue down to the Primary bedroom with large closet and designer full bath with double sink vanity and walk-in shower. There is also a partial basement great for storage. The rear yard is fenced and there's a deck for entertaining. This is a one-of-a-kind home and a truly special and unique setting, in the heart of Hockessin.
