Welcome to this fabulous contemporary home situated in a private woodland retreat, yet only 5 minutes from the center of Hockessin. Enjoy the beautiful woodland views as you enter the circular driveway on this 1.5 acre property. The main level opens to a sunken living room with light from the sliding doors streaming into the angles of the rooms and bamboo wood floors. A cozy wood-burning stove provides an additional heat source. Step up to the dining area with wet bar and into the eat-in kitchen with custom wood cabinets, granite counters, eat-in island and double ovens.
