Set back from the street on a serene acre lot in the sought after community of West Riding, this custom built home is a rare gem whose setting and craftsmanship defies duplication. Keen attention to detail is immediately evident upon entering the front door. Gorgeous Oak hardwood floors, elegant moldings, and dramatic picture windows set the stage for quality without compromise that is demonstrated throughout. The updated kitchen, with large center island, is truly the heart of the home. Cooks will love the suite of professional grade stainless steel appliances, double wall ovens, prep sink, and tile backsplash. A triple window looks out over the patio area and backyard. There is also a sitting room with matching cabinetry open to the kitchen. As a gathering place for family and friends, the inviting family room is rightfully spacious and accommodating. It features a fireplace and wet-bar, ideal for entertaining. Glass doors lead to stunning quartzite patio with landscape and patio lighting system, and spectacular views of the yard and exquisitely designed gardens. Upstairs, the private owner's suite is sure to impress. The sumptuous retreat includes a sitting area, spacious custom walk-in closet, and an updated bath with two vanities, marble tile floor, and seamless glass marble tile shower. There is also a finished bonus room off of the owner's suite which could be used as a craft room, exercise room, storage room...the possibilities are endless! Two additional bedrooms and updated hall bath complete the upper level. Conveniently located on the main level, the fourth bedroom has private access to a full bath and could be used as a second option for the owner's suite or an in-law suite! Indeed, there is no lack of space in this home as it also includes a finished lower level room. The perfect home for those who appreciate beautiful, updated spaces both inside and out. Tucked on a private lot in Hockessin, this property is nothing short of a showpiece. *Recent updates include new driveway in 2018, renovated kitchen in 2017, new gas furnace in 2016, renovated owner's suite and installed second HVAC system to support owner's suite in 2014.
