About this home
This custom-built, all-brick 5-bedroom, 4-bath colonial is nestled in the highly desirable community of Hawthorne in Hockessin, where no two homes are alike. Thoughtfully designed and solidly constructed, this residence offers timeless quality, spacious living, and exceptional value.
Unlike many homes built during its era, this home includes a main-level bedroom with lovely bay window (currently used as an office) and full bath, ideal for first-floor living or multigenerational needs. The full unfinished basement (framed for finishing)—featuring 9-foot ceilings, a poured concrete foundation, wide walk-up with French doors, and plumbing rough-in for a future bath—presents a fantastic opportunity to expand your living space by close to 2,000 sq. ft. exactly as you envision.
Set on nearly three-quarters of an acre with a level backyard, this property offers ample room for a pool and an expansive entertaining area with a patio, fire pit, outdoor kitchen —your options are only limited by your imagination. Perhaps the most inviting room is the serene four-season sunroom facing the back yard, and accessed through French doors from either the kitchen or the great room. Designed with windows on three sides, it's the perfect spot to begin your morning with coffee and unwind in the evening as the sun sets. From the sunroom, exit onto the composite deck with morning sun and evening shade, perfect for outdoor entertaining. The 3 car garage features extra high doors, generous storage space, and the driveway offers parking for at least 8.
While this is an estate sale and being offered in “as is” condition, it has been well maintained. A discerning buyer will overlook what some may view as outdated decorating, appreciating the exceptional construction and systems that have been updated, offering peace of mind and exceptional value at a price below recent appraisal. Upgrades include:
- Architectural shingled roof (2017) with lightening protection
-Two Trane HVAC units (2015) with Honeywell programmable thermostats, serviced annually
-AprilAire Humidifier System (2015), serviced annually
- Bluestone front steps and brick walkways edged in Belgian block, as is the lower portion of the driveway (2022), an $18,000. upgrade
-New asphalt driveway (2024)
-New LiftMaster Wi-fi enabled garage door openers (2023)
Inside the home, craftsmanship shines with timeless solid hardwood flooring in the foyer, living and dining rooms and Great room, as well as stairway and upstairs hallway, custom stained onsite. Appreciate the custom millwork and deep paneling in formal rooms. The living room features a gas fireplace with custom mantel and granite surround. It is separated from the Great room with pocket doors adding versatility to the spaces. The kitchen features Decora semi-custom cabinetry, a 6 foot island with cabinetry below, double pantry, and a desk area with glass cabinetry above. This could easily be reworked into a beverage/coffee center, if desired. The kitchen also has a spacious dining nook for casual meals. The Great Room adjoins the kitchen and features a wood-burning fireplace with heatilator, and custom built-in cabinetry by renowned T. L. King, Pennsylvania cabinetmaker, featuring lower drawers and cabinets, upper bookshelves and lighted glass cabinets. Additional highlights include:
-Convenient first-floor laundry /mudroom with coat closet, ample upper and lower maple cabinetry and countertop, built in laundry sink and oversized LG washer and dryer
-Primary suite with tray ceiling, large custom organized walk-in closet, window seat with storage, and an ensuite with Jacuzzi soaking tub, dual vanities and separate shower
