You are going to absolutely love living here. Nestled on an idyllic wooded 1.4 acre, you'll find this classic Colonial, sure to check many of your boxes: 4 Bedrooms, 2.5 baths, newer septic (2017) and driveway/retaining wall (2024), updated master bath (2025), professionally updated kitchen cabinetry (2025), and a full finished basement. As you walk in, please admire the beautiful Brazilian Cherry hardwoods through, with ash inlay in the dining room. NEWER ROOF with OWNED SOLAR panels (both 2021) - your electric bills will often be close to zero, per seller. Imagine having your beverage of choice first thing in the morning or at the end of a long day on your multi-level Trex deck out back, overlooking that spacious backyard with a creek/stream view. The location is close enough to everything for easy commutes, but feels far away, private, and rural -- you're about 10 minutes from the Delaware state line. Minutes from Hockessin and Avondale (Hartefeld), New Garden Township Park, downtown Kennett, Longwood Gardens, and more. . You'll just have to tour, and see for yourself! Sellers LOVE this property, and can't wait to pass it along to a new owner to cherish it as much as they have. Professional photos coming Friday.
