Back on the market—through no fault of the seller! This exceptional Thompson built twin home, located in the sought-after Town of Whitehall, stands out with its striking two-story vertical bay window and an impressive array of upgrades. With over $80,000 in builder options and an additional $170,000+ in post-purchase enhancements, this home was thoughtfully designed for both luxury and functionality. Inside, the chef’s dream kitchen underwent a complete renovation in 2024, featuring custom Amish-built cherry and maple cabinetry, Electrolux column refrigerator and freezer, a FORNO dual fuel range, quartz countertops, a marble backsplash, and a dedicated coffee bar and beverage center with a commercial ice maker and dual-zone wine cooler. The family room, foyer, and kitchen boast upgraded hardwood flooring, and the second floor has been enhanced with wide plank hardwood throughout. Smart home features include Sunsa Wand Smart Blinds installed throughout the home, allowing for app-based and voice-controlled automation of natural light and privacy. The mostly finished basement offers a private second primary suite, complete with a spa-like bath featuring Carrara marble tile, a zero-clearance shower, and a pre-plumbed kitchenette setup, making it ideal for an in-law suite. Additional interior highlights include a tankless hot water heater, 9-foot basement ceilings, and an Acorn stair lift for added accessibility. The outdoor space is just as impressive, featuring a custom stone patio, an outdoor kitchen with a beverage cooler, a gas fireplace, and a pergola-covered seating area, all enclosed by a 6-foot vinyl privacy fence. The two-car detached garage, connected by an open breezeway, includes a Level 2 smart EV charger. Designed as a forever home with over $250,000 in total upgrades, this stunning residence offers a rare opportunity for luxurious living in a vibrant community. Schedule your private tour today! Situated within the award-winning Appoquinimink School District, the Town of Whitehall is Delaware’s first newly founded town in over a century, located on the south shore of the Chesapeake and Delaware Canal in Middletown. This master-planned community blends “old town” ambiance with modern design and amenities, offering a walkable lifestyle with tree-lined streets and parks. The community is designed to foster a sense of belonging; perks include Christiana Care medical offices, a chiropractic and acupuncture office, a dog park, a playground, First State Ballet School, and even a neighborhood beer garden hosting food trucks and live music every summer weekend. To top it all off, a pizza shop and neighborhood market are coming later this year! Experience a true sense of community in with this gorgeous home!
