Rarely available custom-built, 4300 square foot home located in the private enclave of Cornish Hills, an exclusive neighborhood of just six homes, built within the last six years and centrally situated in desirable Hockessin. Enter via the private lane and arrive at 1611 Brackenville, set on a large, gently sloping lot. The exterior features maintenance-free stone and vinyl siding, a spacious driveway with a drainage system, and an oversized three-car garage. This impeccably maintained four-bedroom, 3.1-bath home has been lovingly cared for by the original owners. Hardwood floors span the entire first level. Upon entry, a stunning butterfly staircase sets the tone, leading to a dramatic two-story family room with a ceiling fan and gas fireplace—perfect for entertaining. The first floor also offers a private office with ceiling fan, as well as formal living and dining rooms enhanced with crown molding. The beautifully appointed kitchen features recessed lighting, a pantry, custom soft-close cabinetry, a gas cooktop, double wall ovens, a large center island, quartz countertops, KitchenAid stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and abundant storage. Sliding doors off the kitchen open to a private backyard oasis with new Trex decking and a paver patio. The expansive yard backs to wooded open space, offering exceptional privacy, and includes a Rain Bird irrigation system to keep the lawn lush all summer. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite boasts a tray ceiling, recessed lighting, ceiling fan, oversized walk-in closet, and a luxurious en-suite bath with tile, stone, and frameless glass shower, double vanities, and a private water closet. The second bedroom functions as a prince/princess suite with its own full bath and ceiling fan, while bedrooms three and four are generously sized and share a hall bath. A large second-floor laundry room includes cabinetry, shelving, and a laundry sink for added convenience. All closets have custom organizers. The unfinished basement offers endless potential with nine-foot ceilings, rough-in plumbing for an additional bath, an existing egress window, and ample space for future finishing. Additional highlights include two HVAC systems for year-round comfort and three sump pumps for added peace of mind. Despite the Brackenville Road address, this home is tucked away off the road within a quiet, private neighborhood backing to woods and then Hockessin Chase. An exceptional opportunity for the discerning buyer, conveniently located near shopping, dining, places of worship, the Hockessin Athletic Club, and all local amenities. This home is in the Northstar elementary feeder pattern, and, can be sold partially furnished. Welcome Home.
