Description

Welcome to this stately colonial home nestled in the heart of Hockessin, located in the highly sought-after Cooke Elementary feeder pattern. Offering just under 3, 000 square feet of beautifully refreshed living space on nearly an acre of peaceful, non-development land, this property provides the perfect balance of space and privacy. If you’ve been searching for open space and room to truly spread out, this home delivers in every way. A charming front portico sets the tone, creating a grand first impression. Inside, you’ll immediately notice the impressive scale of the home, with expansive living and dining rooms designed for gracious entertaining and everyday comfort. The thoughtfully designed floor plan flows seamlessly, enhanced by newly refinished oak hardwood floors and fresh paint throughout. The updated kitchen is both stylish and functional, featuring a center island, quartz countertops, pantry, new appliances, and a sleek tile backsplash that adds a modern touch. A bright eating area overlooks the surrounding natural landscape, creating the perfect spot to enjoy morning coffee or casual meals. Just off the kitchen, a convenient laundry room provides direct access to the backyard and two car garage. The generously sized family room is perfect for gathering, complete with a cozy wood-burning fireplace and a brand-new sliding glass door leading to the Florida room. The sun-filled Florida room space offers a tranquil retreat where you can relax and take in the beauty of the expansive backyard, surrounded by nature and birdsong. An updated powder room completes the main level and adds convenience for guests. Upstairs, the grand proportions continue, highlighted by a spacious primary suite featuring an ensuite bathroom and a cedar closet. Additional bedrooms offer ample space and flexibility for a variety of needs. Additional updates include a new architectural roof (March 2026), new fixtures and hardware, vinyl replacement windows, and a new septic system - currently in progress for added peace of mind and value . Just minutes away, you’ll find Auburn Valley State Park and scenic nature areas along the Red Clay Valley, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation, walking trails, and enjoying the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Ideally located in Hockessin adjacent to Yorklyn, this home offers convenient access to Greenville, Chester County, and downtown Wilmington while still enjoying the privacy and tranquility of its serene setting.
