A rare and exceptional home located on the outskirts of Centerville, tucked away among a small enclave of unique properties. Oh so very special! This transformed circa 1939 Cape was inspired by renowned modern-minimalist architect Hugh Newell Jacobsen. Vaulted ceilings, open living concept and delicious light-filled spaces are just some of his trademarks. As seen in the heart of the home, the expansive Living Room-Dining Room combination with fireplace flows beautifully into the remarkable open Kitchen adorned with Jenn Air luxury appliances and a plethora of cabinets and granite counter tops. 3 French doors lead to a welcoming 40-ft Trex deck which spans the back of the home and overlooks mature hardwoods. You might find your favorite room to be the sunny Family Room, just off the Kitchen. Here in this gorgeous space, you can soak in views of your favorite birds and butterflies, or just snuggle up to a good book. A French door leads to the beautiful flagstone terrace, with water feature, which spans the front of the home. A perfect home for entertaining! Upstairs, you'll find a Master Suite you can love! A beautiful custom closet and dressing area is one of the features, along with yet another fabulous Hugh Newell Jacobsen inspired room. .. wait, your Master Bedroom might very well be your favorite room. So much to love here! Explore the grounds of beautiful perennial gardens, tiers of lush green lawns and stone terraces which make this property so fine. (One more important note: this property abuts Delaware Nature Society's Flint Woods Preserve. )
