This exquisite custom residence, resting on two acres, masterfully blends formal and informal spaces creating casual elegance at its finest. Extraordinary craftsmanship and keen attention to detail is immediately evident upon entering this magnificent home. Gorgeous oak hardwood floors, convenient built-ins, 5 baseboard moldings, crown molding, and dramatic picture windows set the stage for quality without compromise that is demonstrated throughout. The kitchen, with large center island and cabinet face hidden appliances, is truly the heart of the home. Cooks will love the suite of professional grade appliances, including SubZero refrigerator, Dacor wall oven and microwave/convection oven, warming drawer, and gas stove with downdraft directly outside. Glass doors lead to the expansive rear Trex deck with spectacular views of the yard and gardens. Spend time with family and friends in the inviting living room with stone raised-hearth fireplace. Adjacent to the living room is an expansive family with wet-bar and walls of windows that afford incredible views of the surrounding landscape. If working from home is an option, the privately positioned study with solid cherry built-ins provides a quiet and comfortable place from which to do business. Conveniently located on the main level, the owners suite is sure to impress. This restful retreat features ample built-in closet space and a sumptuous double master bath, one with two vanities and shower, the other with one vanity and tub/shower combo. The master suite also accesses the hot tub room with washer and dryer. A second bedroom completes the main level. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms, both generously sized, share a hall bath. There is also a spacious loft area which could be used to accommodate a variety of needs. Indeed, there is no lack of space in this home as it also includes a partially finished lower level with recreation area, utility room with secondary washer/dryer hookups, and a garage with elevator to the main level. 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.
