Absolutely gorgeous! That is what you will say when you pull up to this amazing home. Located in Bella Vista, a small 82 home community in the center of Hockessin and right down the street from the award winning Cooke Elementary School. This 5 bedroom and 3.5 Bath Brick front Colonial has been updated and cared for over the years and pride of ownership is evident. Classic center hall colonial flanked by formal Living and Dining rooms, two large hall closets and an open-concept family room and kitchen which is simply gorgeous. 42' solid wood cabinetry, SS farm house sink, tile back splash, large center island, high end appliances, designer lighting and quartz counters. There are sliders off the eat-in portion to the covered, screened-in porch and composite deck. There is also an updated powder room and laundry on the main floor. Upstairs you will find 3 nicely sized bedrooms, remodeled full hall bath and the primary bedroom with a new full bath with jetted tub, walk-in tiled shower and double vanities. If you need more space, the basement was just professionally finished with egress and permits and includes a living/play area, full bathroom and the 5th bedroom. The unfinished portion is perfect for your storage and includes a secondary fridge. The flat 0.64 acre lot is one of the largest in the community. Other notable features include a turned 2-car garage with 2 EV charging ports, hardwoods throughout the entire first floor, fresh paint, wood-burning stone fireplace, updated ceiling fans and light fixtures, HVAC in 2015, newer roof, replacement windows and a walk-up attic in the front bedroom closet- could make for even more finished space if desired. This home has it all and you don't need to do anything but drop your bags.
