This exceptional custom-built home spans 4,500 sq. ft. of living space, set on 1.29 acres in a picturesque, tree-lined neighborhood. With wide streets and distinctive homes, the property is ideally located within walking distance of Whole Foods, Wegmans, and various shops. Just a few miles from Garnet Valley’s schools and Delaware, this home offers both convenience and charm. Designed with meticulous attention to detail, the home boasts a private office with a separate entrance, a flexible in-law suite or second office above the two-car garage, and an array of custom features personally selected by the owners during construction. Out of the 4,500 sq. ft. of living space, 3,795 sq. ft. are on the main two floors of the house, and the remainder is on the lower level. The interior is enhanced by elegant arched doorways, vaulted ceilings, and a garage with extra-high ceilings for added convenience. One of the standout features of this home is its structural integrity. The main living areas benefit from 12-inch spacing between the joists (as opposed to the standard 16-inch), ensuring increased strength and durability. The kitchen was renovated in 2011, featuring solid wood cabinetry and premium appliances, including a double oven—perfect for culinary enthusiasts. The roof and both HVAC systems (dual-zone) were also replaced in 2011. Upstairs, you'll find four spacious bedrooms, including a master suite, as well as a conveniently located laundry closet. The lower level offers a fifth bedroom with a private full bath and a walkout to the backyard, ideal for guests or extended family. The in-law suite, which can also be used as an office, is located above the garage and includes a bedroom, kitchenette, and a full bathroom. The current owners connected the home to the public sewer system, while continuing to enjoy the natural water from the house's well. They have also installed a new filtering system for the well in recent years, despite the availability of a public water line on the street. A visit to this home is a must to truly appreciate its unique layout and multi-use rooms. Be sure to take a drive through the neighborhood, where the peaceful, tree-lined streets provide a serene and inviting atmosphere.
