Wilkinson built and homeowner improved. Great for multi-generational living and or au-paire space. The original Stucco has been removed and replaced with Hardie Plank, new soffits, gutters along with new Marvin windows in 2018-2019. New roof installed in 2025. Arriving at the home you are greeted by mature landscaping and a double front entry door. The door opens to a two story entry foyer. The foyer is hardwood along with the turned staircase . Flanking the formal entry foyer is a very private Home Office and formal Living Room. Both rooms feature new carpeting. Adjacent is the formal Dining Room, with triple window view which has new carpeting also. From the foyer the home opens up to the powder room and then a white kitchen with a gorgeous tile backsplash. The kitchen features a Sub-Zero refrigerator, newer stainless dishwasher, microwave and gas stove. Adjacent to the kitchen is a full size Breakfast room with sliding door to the rear Timber Tech deck. Now the home truly opens up to a large family room, freshly carpeted with a gas fireplace. Beyond the French doors, a lovely tiled Solarium with vaulted ceilings, four skylights and second entrance to the rear deck. Stop a minute and soak in the view of the gorgeous rear hardscaping, the custom designed pool and the lower level patio, all overlooking the adjacent pond. Back inside and rounding out the first floor you have the laundry room with access to the lower level and two car oversized garage. Take note of the custom cabinetry in the garage which also features a man door to the outside. Lets continue to the second floor where you are greeted by an expansive second floor hallway. For easy living and access there are front and back stairs (new carpet) in this home. Let's start with the Primary suite, where you'll find a spacious Master bedroom with tray ceiling and windows covered with remote controlled Hunter Douglas blinds and custom cornices. There are double doors flanked by two closets, along with a large sitting room, second office, workout room or whatever your needs are. There is a full size Primary bath with tub, shower and double sink vanity. You'll find ample closet space and all closets have been customized for maximum usability. Back to the spacious second floor hallway and you'll find three additional bedrooms and a Hall bath. All the bedrooms are nice size, featuring custom closet fit outs as well. We saved a real treat for last. On the lower level there is incredible finished walkout space that is light and bright with so many windows! There is a lounge/media room that is prewired for sound and screen, with great builtins framing the large window. This space could be easily turned into the fifth bedroom by adding a french door. There is a kitchen with a bar, microwave, convection oven, dishwasher, wine fridge, cooktop, ice maker, under counter beverage center, beautiful cabinetry and tons of storage. From there the finished space opens up to a recreation room, kids playroom, or space for guests, because they've added a full bath on this level. There is unfinished space with sturdy deep wood shelving, custom hooks and hangers and an included full size refrigerator. . This space has been tastefully finished and works well for entertaining or family relaxation. Lets go outside and be even more impressed. The hardscaped patio, stairs and walkways are sure to delight you and overlook the Custom designed and heated inground pool and hot tub. There are so many bells and whistles such as lighting, fountains etc. , you'll need another visit to take it all in. Imagine family gatherings in this space. The home is about 8 minutes to downtown Kennett Square, for shopping and great restaurants and about 20 minutes to most Delaware private schools.
