LOCATION is key to this home on 1-acre lot just south of C&D Canal, close to thousands of acres of Federally preserved wildlife area along the Canal; and most importantly, in the Appoquinimink School District. PRISTINE best describes this custom-built home with gorgeous premium solid red oak hardwood floors that cover the entire first floor and the sole of a shoe has never touched them. The 2-story foyer, open floor plan, and 9 ft. ceilings give you an open airy feel the minute you walk in. To the left of the foyer is a sitting area or could be the dining room and then walk into the large gathering room with cozy fireplace and sliders to the EP Henry patio with perimeter wall for extra seating. To the left of the room is the extra-large eat-in kitchen featuring loads of 42-inch raised panel oak cabinets to match the flooring. The first floor laundry is conveniently located off of kitchen. The master bedroom upstairs also features the oak floors plus large bath, walk-in closet, tray ceiling, and sitting room or nursery. Other upgrades include Anderson double-hung, double tilt insulted windows; colonial six-panel doors and colonial moldings throughout; wood encased archways with colonial moldings; Baldwin Brass Hardware and SS hinges in all baths; Baldwin Brass Outlet and Switch Plates and Door Knobs throughout; some tinted windows to protect flooring from sun fading. The 2-car garage is completely insulated and the floors were professionally coated with epoxy. The striking light stucco with dark shutters, wrap-around porch and tasteful landscaping offer great curb appeal. You have to see the "Features Sheet" in the house listing most of the upgrades and special touches. Note that extra room off of master bedroom brings square footage up to 2306.
