About this home

You must see this home and grounds to truly experience the quiet elegance, and magnificent trees gracing the 1.6 manicured acres. The home built in 1936 on Rabbit Hill, once an apple orchard, is a nearly 4,000 square foot stone and wood cottage style house with lovely original architectural details. The built-in corner cupboards in the formal dining room, provide a complement to the modern updates such as the addition of the family room with a vaulted ceiling and grand stone fireplace. From the eat-in dining area, walk through the spacious kitchen to the cozy butler pantry and airy dining room. The kitchen also flows to the entry foyer and formal living room with fireplace. From there you will find a wood paneled office or sitting room with a third fireplace, and beautiful sunroom featuring an external stone wall. Upstairs you will find a spacious master bedroom with an updated sunlit bathroom with Carrera marble floors and double sink vanity and an 18' walk-closet with built in drawers. The closet exits to a secret loft above the family room, perfect for relaxing with a good book or video games. Just beyond the loft is a bedroom/guest suite with en suite full bathroom and private access from the kitchen stairs. Two more large bedrooms and a full hall bath complete the upper level. The 1.6 acres includes a spacious lawn and majestic trees for climbing or swinging! The back yard stone patio has room for grilling and enjoying warm summer evenings. In front of the 2-car garage is a large circular drive with room for a half dozen cars, flanked by an antique swing set and rope swing. If you want the convenience of 3 minute access to the heart of Hockessin or 10 minutes to Greenville, yet the privacy and quiet of an estate, you must come tour this home.
