About this home
Welcome to 1 E. Periwinkle Lane—the former model home for the prestigious Hitchens Farm community in Newark, DE 19711. Because this was the builder’s showcase home, it is loaded with architectural upgrades, premium trim, and an effortless flow that you won't find anywhere else. Move-in ready and meticulously updated, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath residence has just been refreshed from top to bottom (May 2026) with fresh paint, newly refinished hardwoods, and brand-new carpeting throughout.
The grand main level is designed to impress. Step into a beautiful sunken living room boasting soaring 10-foot ceilings and a dramatic double-sided wood-burning fireplace with a raised hearth and marble surround (with a natural gas line already in place for an easy conversion). The fireplace is shared with a quiet first-floor study, uniquely accessed from both the living and family rooms. The heart of the daily living space is the bright family room, featuring durable LVP flooring, a cozy floor-to-ceiling faux-stone gas fireplace, and dual sliding glass doors opening to an expansive rear deck and a fully fenced backyard. Culinary enthusiasts will love the kitchen, which flows into a sun-drenched breakfast/morning room illuminated by skylights. It comes fully equipped with granite countertops, gas cooking, stainless steel appliances, and tile flooring. For formal gatherings, the spacious dining room shines with a bright bay window, classic crown molding, elegant wainscoting, and freshly refinished hardwoods. A convenient laundry room sits just off the kitchen.
The upper-level primary suite serves as your private sanctuary, complete with a dedicated sitting area and two closets (including a large walk-in). The renovated en-suite primary bathroom is a spa-like masterpiece, featuring a double-bowl vanity with granite counters, a Delta soaking tub, a seamless frameless shower, and luxurious heated floors. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and a pristine hall bathroom round out the second floor.
The living space extends to the lower level, which showcases a large 30'x18' finished recreation room with new carpet, recessed lighting, a finished storage room, and an extra storage closet with crawl space access. The unfinished utility side features a recently installed egress window, offering peace of mind and future expansion. The oversized 2.5-car garage offers extra space for a tractor, tools, or bikes, and features a unique separate garage door for the half-car bay.
