Welcome to Hawthorne in Hockessin. This stately and sprawling home sits proudly at the end of a cul-de-sac on over a half an acre and has been meticulously maintained by the original owners. After rolling down the lengthy driveway you can choose to park in the side-entry 2 car garage or take advantage of the many spaces available outside. Walk down your front path and take in the plush green grass pass by mature perennial plantings en route to entering this spacious and modern open concept floor-plan. Step under the covered porch and prepare to walk in the front door which puts you at the heart of the home . While in your foyer entryway appreciate the solid wood staircase and wainscoting which follows the rise of the staircase heading to the second level. Before heading up you'll start at your left and walk through the formal living room. You'll feel as though you've entered another domain which exudes a stately feel with pristine oak hardwood flooring, crown moldings and the first of three wood-burning fireplaces. Make your way through to the dining room, which is large enough to accommodate almost any size gatherings at the holidays . Then head into the massive kitchen. In this true chefs kitchen you have your cooktop on the large center island while the wall oven, sink and microwave fill in the gaps between all the oak cabinetry along the massive perimeter. There's enough room and linear counter-space to have many places to prepare for the largest of gatherings and an extra large pantry to store all your goods. As you move through to the eat-in portion of the kitchen and adjacent family room you'll be overwhelmed by the sheer amount of natural light which pours in through a set of french doors (which lead to a beautiful deck) and 5 large windows that bring the outdoors inside. While in this grand space you'll appreciate the new carpeting and 2nd of 3 wood-burning fireplaces. Just off of this room is your den/office. The vaulted ceiling and abundance of windows give the illusion of being one with nature as you out to see the safety of wooded lot surround you like a blanket. Also off of the family room is a laundry room and bathroom before reaching the access to your 2-car garage. Leaving the way you entered this space allows you to be back in the foyer and travel upstairs to your 4 full bedrooms and bathrooms. Proceed upstairs to find 4 generously sized bedrooms. The master bedroom also has a wood-burning fireplace, large walk-in closet and an enormous private bath which has a Jacuzzi tub, stand up shower (with new glass doors), double vanity with sink and plenty of storage. Additionally there is another full bathroom on this level to serve the additional 3 bedrooms. there's also a large hallway linen closet in the common area. All the way down and into the basement you'll find that this enormous storage area has an endless amount of potential for those with a vision of specific finishes. Utilizing the double entry door to the outside you'll easily be able to use this space as a workshop, studio or have it completely finished so that the living area accommodates your families needs. There's so much to appreciate here in Hawthorne that you'll easily be able to make this house your home.
