This property is a nature lover's dream. Charming cape cod nestled in the hills of Hockessin/Yorklyn. This is a very special property .The lot is 4 acres. The new owner would have the opportunity to expand and create further gardens of interest - OR- the lot could be subdivided for a viable building site. A preliminary site evaluation indicates that a septic system could be installed. Subdivision would be at Buyer's expense. The house would still be private with extensive gardens and mature plantings.
The house is a center hall cape. Formal living room and formal dining are on either side of the hall. The kitchen, breakfast area and family room are aligned along the back of the house. Views of the gardens and impressive trees are seen from every window. A brick fireplace (wood burning) is the focus of the family room. A mudroom/laundry room has access to the attached garage and there is a door to the deck. A working office space with windows is just beyond the laundry room.
The home offers several pleasant surprises - off the family room is a sunroom that again overlooks all the natural beauty of the property. Facing West, sunsets are a treat . Another surprise is the first floor primary
bedroom. A large room with several windows, it is a quiet retreat. Walk-in closet plus a hall closet, provide great storage. Large bath.
The second floor has another surprise - a second possible primary bedroom. Large room with ensuite bath. (In-law, nanny or guest area) Two other bedrooms (one does not have a closet) and a hall bath are on this floor. A loft offers various uses, computer area, play area or quiet reading spot.
A remarkable home that has been well cared for. Lovely private setting, yet convenient to Hockessin, Greenville and Newark.
Note: New septic system designed by Russell Losco, of Lanchester Soil Consultants, will be installed at Seller's expense. Design is for a four (4) bedroom home.
