Located on a private, 1.2 acre level cul-de-sac lot, this thoughtfully designed custom contemporary exemplifies understated elegance. Enter the graceful foyer tiled with beautiful Italian marble, and notice the curved staircase, walls and soaring ceilings. Formal and casual spaces flow seamlessly in this welcoming home. To the left you will find the well scaled living room with beautiful hardwood flooring, and open to the step-up dining room. From here, you will appreciate your first view of the impressive brick and stone courtyard patio and the backdrop of greenery. The crisp white kitchen was recently completely renovated with all new custom Omega cabinetry, quartz counter tops, and a custom, curved, marble counter, which comfortably seats 5 (leather stools included). You will love the mother of pearl accented backsplash, hand scraped hardwood flooring, and high end appliances such as the plumbed in Miele coffee/espresso station, the Bosch 5 - burner cooktop and the Sub Zero refrigerator. A bar, complete with mini fridge, built-in racks for glassware and wine bottles; and a stereo system (built-in speakers throughout house and patios) is positioned for ease of access from the kitchen or family room. The open family room features a wood burning fireplace, with marble surround. Rounding out the main level is a den/study/office (which could be used as a main level bedroom) and a full bath; as well as access to the oversized 3 car garage (Don't miss the specialty charging outlet for your electric car.) The main bedroom "retreat" occupies the entire rear half of the upper level, and features the home's 2nd fireplace. The 5-piece bathroom including a Jacuzzi whirlpool tub, dual closets with built ins; and a very private sitting (or exercise) room complete the suite. Three additional well scaled bedrooms are served by the cheerful hall bath. The upstairs laundry closet is convenient to all rooms. A rec room occupies the lower level, in addition to the mechanical/storage room and crawl spaces. On the roof, owned solar panels will significantly reduce utility expenses. Perhaps the favorite spot of this outstanding property is the two tier rear patio area. Choose between the intimate walled, brick courtyard or the larger level highlighting colorful Indian tile. This idyllic space is complete with a built-in Wolf natural gas grill, pergolas, multiple seating areas, a fireplace and a small pond: perfect for entertaining a crowd! Stroll the grounds to appreciate the varied colors and texture of the mature plantings, all selected to compliment with the home's neutral gray stone and Dryvit exterior. This property is conveniently located to commuter corridors to Wilmington and beyond, yet is just minutes to parks (Delcastle), shopping and services in Hockessin and Pike Creek. Red Clay School District - walking distance to Cooke Elementary School.
