Welcome home to this sprawling 5-bedroom, 2-bath brick ranch set on a picturesque, secluded 2.04-acre lot in the coveted Commodore Estates neighborhood! Situated in the heart of the award-winning Appoquinimink School District, this property offers a rare blend of private, country-like living with exceptional convenience- just 5 minutes to Routes 1 and 13, local schools, shopping, and dining. Step inside to an inviting main level filled with natural light from floor-to-ceiling, energy-efficient vinyl windows installed in 2023. Thoughtfully upgraded throughout, the main floor features modern LVP flooring (2019), new interior doors (2024), and a custom built-in within the formal dining room. The kitchen showcases Corian countertops (2018) and flows seamlessly into the dedicated laundry room, both refreshed with new LVP flooring in 2024. For relaxed living and entertainment, gather around the cozy wood fireplace or retreat to the custom media space equipped with a large screen and HD projector (2021); this room offers exceptional versatility and can easily be converted back into a functional garage if desired. The main-level primary suite serves as a true sanctuary, benefiting from a comprehensive 2024 remodel that introduced his-and-hers walk-in closets and an exquisite primary bath. Highlights include imported tile flooring from Ukraine, a custom two-person oversized multi-head tiled shower, a standalone soaking tub, and a new oversized single-bowl vanity. The secondary hall bath was also fully modernized in 2020 with updated tub/shower tile, floor and wall tile, and a new vanity. The finished lower level significantly expands the home's living footprint, offering two full bedrooms with new LVP flooring (2024) and an insulated bonus room designed for a music or game room, complete with specialized wall and ceiling sound insulation. Storage options abound, including a massive attic fitted with built-in wood flooring and lighting. Outdoors, experience peaceful retreat living on the screened concrete-and-brick porch or the ground-level wood deck. The lush, private grounds are accented by mature apple, cherry, black walnut, and maple trees, as well as three raised garden beds. Key mechanical and structural updates provide outstanding long-term value, including brand-new front and rear entry doors (2026), a 5-bedroom septic system (2018), furnace (2017), water heater (2017), and a roof installed in 2007 with a 30-year manufacturer's warranty.
