If you like peace and quiet after a busy day, you will relish this 4 bedroom, 3 full bath Cape sitting on a one-acre lot strategically placed between the heart of Hockessin and Yorklyn. This home offers the perfect blend of old and new -- a country-style refuge with tasteful, traditional design and modern convenience in a professional grade kitchen and updated systems. Offering a first-floor master bedroom suite with updated full bath for convenient one-story living, you will immediately feel this home's warmth beginning with the slate foyer flooring and gleaming hardwoods throughout. Cuddle up by the cozy wood-burning fireplace that warms the open Living and Dining area or head out through the slider to the private backyard patio for barbeques or quiet times enjoying nature. The Kitchen features 48" maple cabinetry, beadboard wainscoting and ceilings, a large professional, 6-burner Viking gas stove, Viking refrigerator and Bosch dishwasher, granite sink and large island. The home continues through to a large Mudroom and finally to a bonus room for Office, Den, craft room or gym with a split ac/heating system. Upstairs you will find another en-suite master with newly-updated bath along with two additional bedrooms and another newly-updated bath with tile shower. Storage and closet space abound with access to a floored attic off of a bedroom and full basement with high ceilings. Updates include two garden retaining walls, a newer HVAC (heat pump with oil backup), Roth oil tank, water neutralizing system, hot water heater, garbage disposal and laundry tub. Set away from the street, you will enjoy beautiful sunsets through the trees, glimpse Hockessin fireworks in July and after the leaves fall, the twinkle of Christmas lights through the trees as the Wilmington Western RR makes its way into town all from the comfort of your large front porch. Enjoy the Dew Point Brewery and all its family friendly events as well as the walking and biking trails at Oversee Farm and Auburn Valley. The Auburn Valley Master plan includes plans for a rail trail (bike path) along the railroad tracks making Yorklyn Days and other Yorklyn festivities easily accessible by foot or bike. This ideal location is convenient to town yet tucked away on a dead end road for quiet relaxation.
