Welcome to this stunning classic Colonial in Hockessin’s highly sought-after Westridge community, where a grand two-story foyer makes an immediate and lasting impression with its elegant turned staircase, rich hardwood flooring, and refined architectural details. Nine-foot ceilings on the first floor, extensive hardwood floors, and crown molding throughout enhance the home’s bright, light-filled atmosphere. The formal living room is open and airy, highlighted by three large circle-top windows, while the elegant dining room features a coffered ceiling, wainscoting, and two additional circle-top windows, creating a warm yet refined setting for entertaining. Thoughtfully updated and impeccably maintained, the home offers generously sized living spaces, a breathtaking new kitchen, a vaulted family room, an exceptional covered porch designed for year-round enjoyment, and a comfortably finished lower level—ideally located near schools, parks, shopping, and dining. A private, light-filled office or study provides a quiet retreat, while the vaulted family room showcases a dramatic floor-to-ceiling shiplap wall surrounding a gas masonry fireplace, complemented by skylights and sliding glass doors that seamlessly connect to the outdoor living space. The stunning, brand-new kitchen is the heart of the home, anchored by an impressive 10-foot island with seating for six and featuring quartz countertops, a farmhouse sink, self-closing cabinetry, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a pull-out coffee bar within a built-in pantry cabinet, along with high-end appliances including a Wolf gas range, Bosch dishwasher, Fisher & Paykel refrigerator, and a built-in wall oven and microwave. A custom bar area with sink and KitchenAid wine refrigerator further enhances the home’s entertaining appeal. The spacious primary suite offers new carpeting, a sitting area, and a large walk-in closet with custom organizers, while the spa-inspired bath includes a double vanity, tiled shower, Jacuzzi tub with jets, linen closet, and double windows that fill the space with natural light. Three additional spacious bedrooms and a hall bath complete the upper level. The finished lower level provides flexible living space, a brand-new full bath, a versatile fifth bedroom currently used as a workout room, and generous storage. Additional highlights include a functional laundry room with cabinetry, utility sink, and exterior access, a two-car garage with finished paneled walls, an approximately six-year-old roof with lifetime shingles, and an in-ground sprinkler system (as-is). The expansive 23.5’ x 16’ covered porch with Trex decking is truly exceptional, featuring ceiling heaters, a ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and substantial columns, and it overlooks a stone wall with beautiful landscaping and uplighting—perfect for entertaining in every season. Westridge offers a welcoming, family-friendly atmosphere with beautifully maintained homes and convenient access to outdoor recreation, local shops, restaurants, and major commuting routes, all within a peaceful neighborhood setting.
