Property Description
The Buyer's situation changed so you might still have a chance to own a fabulous home. Welcome to 13 Revelstone Drive! This mountain lodge style home is the ultimate find in Delaware. (Be sure to check out the virtual tour!) Custom-built on an acre lot, this used to be the location of a dairy barn. The barn is long gone but the stone that remained from it was used in the construction of this unique home. Hand hewn, the stone graces the front, the turret in the back (when you tour the house, see if you can discover the mason's signature stone in the base of the turret), and it becomes a key feature in the fireplace that soars to the height of the four-bent timberframe greatroom and continues in the finished walk-out lower level. In the greatroom, the fireplace is gas fired; in the lower level, it's wood burning. This home features a main bedroom suite with sitting area, walk-in closet, and bathroom with a heated tile floor. Across the walkway to the bedrooms on the other side upstairs where you'll find three more bedrooms that are incredibly large, a hall bath, and the laundry room that can double as a craft room. The fifth bedroom and a full bath are on the lower level. Don't think basement though. Think more like just another area of the lodge. Everywhere you turn in this house, you'll love the flow, the spaciousness of all the rooms, and the incredible craftsmanship that becomes timeless. That endurance is also due to the way the Sellers have lovingly and carefully maintained and upgraded the home. New siding (including new insulation), new gutters, new downspouts, new garage doors, newer appliances, new hardwood floors in the lower level, new driveway, replacement of lighting, and the list goes on. From the very beginning, as the house was designed, it was done so with intention. Their children were young when it was built, so they thought of making stairs easier for little legs... which just means they're easier for everyone due to the lower rise and deeper treads. The flow of the back yard and every tree that was planted was done to enhance the overall use of the house. And energy efficient? The house was constructed with 2 x 6 walls and craft-faced insulation. For a house with living space over 6,000 square feet, guess what the monthly utility bill averages? Right around $225. Impressive! If you've been looking for a spacious, beautifully unique, incredibly well-built home, this one should be calling your name. And you should be calling your Realtor for a private tour!
