This well maintained and updated colonial home is nestled up a winding private lane above Snuff Mill Rd in Hockessin. This private setting affords the luxury of mature trees and peaceful views. Enter into the 2-story foyer with turned staircase and immediately notice the hardwood floors that run throughout the foyer and dining room. To the left find the formal living room with gas fireplace bathed in natural light with stately classic moldings. Continue back through French doors to find a private office. To the right of the foyer is the formal dining room with chair rail moldings and tray ceiling. Head straight back from the foyer to find the family room with wood burning fireplace that sits directly off the updated eat-in kitchen which features two-tone 42" shaker-style cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, including double wall ovens, and center island with seating. A laundry room, formal and informal powder rooms and access to the 3-car garage complete the main level. Head up either the main or back staircases to find a large owner's suite with tray ceiling, sitting room, large walk-in closet and 5-piece en suite. An additional guest bedroom has private bath with 2 additional bedrooms sharing a hall bath. A large bonus room/gym sits at the end of the hall. The unfinished lower level has 10ft ceilings, rough in for future bathroom, a walk-out and offers an abundance of storage or endless possibilities for expansion. A tiered rear deck overlooks the private wooded yard. This home offers solitude while also enjoying proximity to downtown Hockessin, Wilmington, Centerville, and PA as well as all major access roads.
