This charming colonial home sits on a private half-acre lot on a cul-de-sac in the desirable Hockessin neighborhood of Bella Vista. Enter into the center hall foyer and immediately notice hardwood floors that run through the foyer and formal dining room to the right. To the left of the foyer is the large formal living room with plenty of windows allowing natural light to shine through. Continue straight back to the updated eat-in kitchen featuring custom cabinetry, granite counters and island, stainless steel appliances, and an inviting view of the backyard through sliding glass doors and large screened porch. Pass a powder room to the right as you enter the open family room with a wood stove insert in the brick fireplace, bay window and a second entrance to the screened porch. Behind the kitchen find a private office, laundry room and access to the 2-car garage. Head up to the second level to find a large primary suite with his and hers walk-in closets and private bath with dual vanity. Three additional bedrooms with ample closet space and a large guest bathroom complete the upper level. A partially finished lower level with a drop ceiling creates a warm space for a home gym, a game room, and a workshop area. This spectacular lot has been meticulously landscaped with a variety of plantings. Enjoy the peaceful setting from the screened porch or concrete patio overlooking the large flat yard. This home offers a private setting while also enjoying close proximity to all that the area has to offer.
