About this home

Beautifully renovated, four-bedroom colonial home on a private lot in the sought after community of North Star. Arrive to a "house on a hill" with new siding, new replacement windows, a new driveway, professional landscaping and there's even a flag pole. Enter a center hallway to slate flooring and into the main living space with a lot of natural light and gorgeous original hardwood floors that are consistent throughout the home. The main floor has great flow with wide entryways to each room. Kitchen improvements include: new wood cabinetry, quartz counter tops, new stainless steel appliances, a breakfast bar, new fixtures and new hardware. A large eat-in space features a sitting area, a brick fireplace and a large slider to a screened back porch. The primary bedroom is on the main level with vaulted ceilings, a walk-in closet and a gorgeous custom bath. The upper level has three spacious bedrooms with good closet space and a roomy remodeled full bathroom in the hallway. The lower level offers a huge added living space with high ceilings and new neutral carpet. A new roof was installed in 2022, a new septic tank in 2022 and recent updates have been made to the HVAC system. All of this in one of Delaware's best school feeder patterns. Welcome Home.
