This 2,875 sq ft home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and 1 powder room, with hardwood floors throughout and generously sized living spaces. The first-floor primary suite with a full bath, offering convenient main-level living. Two wood-burning fireplaces (as-is) add character, while the walkout basement provides additional space with great potential.

The patio is surrounded by mature trees, enhancing the home’s natural setting. Important system updates have already been completed, including a septic system (2021), 200-amp electrical panel (2023), well accumulator tank (2023), and a Bradford White 50-gallon hot water heater (2024) with sensor alarm. The home is serviced by a high-efficiency Rheem oil furnace (2004), and the roof was replaced in 2012. There is a newer washer and dryer plus an additional dryer, and a whole house fan (as-is). Located along the Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and major routes, including nearby Hockessin conveniences. This is an estate sale and is being sold as-is—an excellent opportunity to update and customize a well-built home in a prime setting.
