Property Description
Behind the timeless colonial exterior is a home that feels like a private resort, redesigned in 2018 with intention, style, and an unmistakable sense of escape. From the moment you pull into the newer driveway, the curb appeal sets the tone — a striking portico, custom front door, real stone accents, and polished hardscaping create a presence that's both refined and welcoming. Every major exterior component has already been elevated with newer roof, windows, and siding, while the backyard experience belongs in a different category entirely. Inside, the two-story foyer opens with dramatic scale, natural light and hickory hardwood floors, balancing sophistication with warmth. The living room off the foyer flows to French doors for a tucked-away room that doubles beautifully as an office, lounge, or creative flex space. The kitchen was designed to gather people naturally — anchored by a statement island and outfitted with paneled Sub-Zero refrigeration, Wolf appliances, and solid custom cabinetry that blends luxury with functionality. Unlike a traditional colonial layout, the expanded design creates an effortless flow into the oversized dining room and adjacent family room, where vaulted ceilings, custom built-ins and a brick wood-burning fireplace invite everyday living to feel elevated. Main level living transitions just as seamlessly outdoors, with sliding glass doors off both the kitchen and family room leading to an expansive deck where you can unwind as the sun sets, a glass in hand, embraced by the privacy overlooking the backyard retreat. Upstairs, all four bedrooms offer generous space with the primary suite delivering a huge en-suite including the kind of closet we all dream of - a massive walk-in complete with built-in organization and boutique-style storage. The renovated hall bath continues the home's polished aesthetic with clean, timeless finishes. The lower level was designed with pure Margaritaville energy in mind — a laid-back entertaining retreat where every detail invites you to relax and stay awhile. Complete with farm sink and refrigerator, full bath with glass and tile shower, multiple hangout spaces, and French doors leading directly outside, the space flows effortlessly into the ultimate backyard escape. Beneath the deck is the waterproof paver patio where you will find a hot tub, outdoor shower, TV, full stereo system, game space, direct gas BBQ and direct access to the heated pool — creating a vacation-at-home atmosphere that makes everyday feel like a getaway.. It's the kind of setting where summer nights stretch longer, friends stay later, and every evening feels like vacation without ever leaving home. Additional details of note: new HVAC and water heater (2018), Rain Bird lawn irrigation system, Dyna-Glow heated garage with epoxy floor and organizers, main level laundry, shed, updated powder room and so much more. This Pike Creek gem is the perfect balance of luxury, comfort, and location—minutes away from White Clay Creek State Park, University of Delaware, and local shopping.
