About this home
IMPROVED PRICE! Outstanding opportunity to own a spacious home on a 1.09-acre lot in sought-after Yorklyn Ridge—the quiet side of Hockessin. Tucked away on a private road and set high on a ridge, this property offers privacy, scenic views, and a peaceful country setting just minutes from everyday conveniences. This 2,875 sq ft home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 powder room, with hardwood floors throughout and generously sized living spaces. The first-floor primary suite with a full bath, offering convenient main-level living. Two wood-burning fireplaces (as-is) add character, while the walkout basement provides additional space with great potential. The layout offers flexibility, including the possibility for an in-law suite. A butler’s pantry leads to the patio, creating an easy flow for indoor-outdoor living. The patio is surrounded by mature trees, enhancing the home’s natural setting. Important system updates have already been completed, including a septic system (2021), 200-amp electrical panel (2023), well accumulator tank (2023), and a Bradford White 50-gallon hot water heater (2024) with sensor alarm. The home is serviced by a high-efficiency Rheem oil furnace (2004), and the roof was replaced in 2012. There is a newer washer and dryer plus an additional dryer, and a whole house fan (as-is). Located along the Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and major routes, including nearby Hockessin conveniences. This is an estate sale and is being sold as-is—an excellent opportunity to update and customize a well-built home in a prime setting. Your second chance at this classic gem — back on the market due to buyer issue. ALL REASONABLE OFFERS WILL BE CONSIDERED.
