What's special
Welcome to Sanford Ridge, where timeless elegance meets modern updates on a beautifully landscaped homesite of over half an acre in the heart of Hockessin. This home has been thoughtfully updated and transformed from top to bottom. From the moment you arrive, the impressive curb appeal, welcoming front porch with portico, and stately façade set the tone for what awaits inside. Step through the front door into a dramatic two-story foyer featuring a stunning butterfly staircase with a combination of new & newly refinished hardwood flooring that seamlessly flows throughout much of the main level. Formal living and dining rooms flank the foyer, creating the perfect setting for entertaining and special occasions. The heart of the home is the completely updated gourmet kitchen, showcasing white 42-inch cabinetry, beautiful quartz countertops, custom tile backsplash, newer appliances, a breakfast bar, and abundant workspace. The adjoining breakfast room offers access to the expansive deck, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. Just off the kitchen, the spacious family room features a cozy fireplace and opens to a private office or flex space, ideal for today’s work-from-home needs. Adding even more versatility is the spectacular conservatory, offering natural stone flooring, walls of Palladian windows, and direct deck access—perfect as a sunroom, game room, or additional entertaining space. An updated laundry room and powder room complete the main level. Upstairs, the luxurious primary suite serves as a true retreat, featuring two walk-in closets plus an additional bonus space perfect for a dressing room, expanded closet area, nursery, or private office. The completely renovated spa-inspired primary bath is exceptional, featuring an oversized tiled shower, dual vanities, a private water closet, and a separate linen closet. A guest suite enjoys its own beautifully renovated full bath, while two additional generously sized bedrooms offer ample closet space and share another full bath. The finished walkout lower level provides incredible flexibility with a large recreation room, a separate flex room or potential fifth bedroom, a full bath, cedar closet, oversized storage room, and access to a private patio and backyard. Extensive improvements provide exceptional value and peace of mind, including a resurfaced driveway, new roof and gutters in 2019, a new gas furnace and air conditioning system for both zones in 2020, and an impressive list of updates completed in 2026, including new windows throughout, fresh paint, refinished hardwood floors, additional hardwood flooring, luxurious new carpeting, updated landscaping, a new sump pump, updated lighting fixtures, and numerous interior enhancements. For added peace of mind, the stucco has been professionally remediated. With all major systems updated and every detail thoughtfully addressed, this exceptional home offers a truly turnkey opportunity with nothing left to do but unpack, settle in, and enjoy everything this remarkable Sanford Ridge home has to offer. Conveniently located near shopping, restaurants, parks, health clubs, and within the highly regarded Red Clay School District, this exceptional property offers the perfect blend of luxury, comfort, and convenience.
