Welcome to 915 Westover Road a magnificent 1939 stone Colonial situated in one of Wilmington’s most coveted neighborhoods. Showcasing architectural influences of the celebrated R. Brognard Okie style, this landmark residence seamlessly marries classic mid-century craftsmanship with high-caliber modern luxuries. Framed by timeless stonework and capped with a synthetic slate roof engineered to deliver authentic slate character without the maintenance hassle, this home delivers peace of mind alongside modern system updates and a whole-house generator. Step through the entry to discover classic detail, including rich random-width pegged hardwood floors that run throughout the primary living spaces. A living room anchored by a stone fireplace flows effortlessly into a large, window-wrapped sunroom overlooking the grounds. The updated kitchen with new appliances and granite countertops, serves as the heart of the home, featuring refined finishes, high-end fixtures, and an ideal layout for entertaining. It opens seamlessly to an adjacent wet bar with window seat, a sunny breakfast room, and a warm family room highlighted by its own stone fireplace. A main-floor powder room and a functional layout complete this level. Ascend the main staircase—or the convenient back staircase off the kitchen—to a second floor designed for space and luxury. Truly exceptional for a home of this era, the sprawling primary suite features a large bedroom, private sitting room, two walk-in closets, and an expansive spa-inspired ensuite bathroom featuring recent design updates. Three additional generously sized bedrooms, a common lounging area, and two updated bath facilities complete the upper living quarters. Finished lower levels offers expanded living options with a spacious recreation room centered around a stone fireplace, an additional powder room, a dedicated workshop, and extensive storage spaces. Outdoors, the private backyard serves as an idyllic retreat. Step out onto a gorgeous stone terrace designed for al fresco dining, which steps down to an expansive, lush lawn surrounded by mature landscaping. Attached two-car garage with direct main-house access. Combining rare architectural elegance, extensive modern updates, and effortless everyday function, 915 Westover Road presents an extraordinary opportunity in highly desirable Westover Hills.
Westover Hills, located between Kennett Pike (DE-52) and the Brandywine Creek corridor, is a residential and wooded Greenville neighborhood with curving lanes and mid-century homes. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Kennett Pike and Stone Brook Drive area, where landscaped entrances, low-slung offices, and small local storefronts set a quiet, polished rhythm. Nearby anchors such as the Delaware Art Museum, Winterthur Museum, Garden & Library, and the Brandywine Zoo shape weekend routines with galleries, gardens, and riverside paths. Architecture leans toward ranches and split-levels tucked behind mature trees. Daily life centers on scenic drives, trail walks, and coffee stops along Route 52. The geography reads as suburban-calm with quick turns into the Brandywine Valley’s parkland.
