This custom French Country home is nestled on two beautiful acres. The construction of block/brick foundation with stucco and cedar exterior, a one year old composite slate tile roof (50 year warranty), an indoor heated pool, and an elegant gathering room with 22 foot tall ceilings and handcrafted beams just begin to define the unique features of this home. The beautiful custom wood floors that welcome you are a standout feature. The new master bath and new granite countertops in the kitchen and a tile backsplash were updated by the current owners. An additional room off the gathering room was used as a billiard room but could have many uses. The family room located off the foyer can also serve as a library. A spacious dining room is adjacent to the kitchen and filled with natural sunlight. The second floor has a palatial master suite complete with two walk-in closets and a new master bathroom. The two additional bedrooms share a bathroom. The lower level has an egress window and has been used in the past as a fourth bedroom. There is an adjacent powder room. Multiples zones of heat and air are a few of the many upgrades. All the creature comforts including a generator, new hot water heater, programmable touch point lighting system, wired sound speakers and security system. Enjoy the peaceful setting from the front terrace and the privacy of this residence.…  More Less What I love about the homeSuddenly relocated. Invested in upgrades with eye toward staying for long-term. Our loss is your gain. This house built by 2 power lawyers who spent $1.3 m. Two further additions cost $200k. The craftsmanship and millwork are stunning and make this a one-of-a-kind home (all custom millwork on antique heart of pine reclaimed from textile factory in NC). House listed for 5 years with previous owner because it was under two separate Lease/Purchase Agreements (house remains actively listed during this period). It was occupied during life of agreements.

We've recently invested $125k to improve major areas within home. All the headaches are now gone. New roof and chimney. Master bathroom and kitchen substantially refurbished. Two brand new energy efficient HVAC systems. New hot water heater, hot water pump, plumbing, and several new appliances. All the floors have been refinished (wood and tile). New stone faced on living room fireplace. New carpeting and drop ceiling in basement. Driveway sealed (twice) and significant improvements to landscaping. House painted inside and out. Awnings repaired. All remaining systems and appliances fully functional, professionally maintained, including whole-house generator.

Great home for empty-nesters and those will small family. Indoor pool for recreation. 2+ acres with deceptively large back/side yard. Close to downtown Wilmington and Amtrak, 30 mins from Philly airport, and surrounded by Chateau country with many options for outdoor recreation (parks, rivers, hiking and biking, DuPont estates). Invisible Fence around perimeter and landscaping. Great for dog lovers! Newly installed comprehensive security system with cameras can be remotely accessed/controlled via app.

You will never get more for less! Former owner has appraisals at $1.4 million. Current insurance appraisal over $1.3 million.
