Welcome to your new home in the desirable community of Mendenhall Village, located in Hockessin in the Red Clay School District. This Chatham model, the largest in the community, is on a quiet cul-de-sac and has a serene rear yard that backs to open space maintained by New Castle County and a front yard that does not face another house. This home has tremendous curb appeal and sits on what might be the most exceptional lot in the neighborhood. The home has been customized with an enlarged eat-in kitchen and open-plan living room/great room. Further customization includes a primary suite with a second additional walk-in closet and office/sitting room, perfect for those working at home who need a quiet space. Both walk-in closets in the primary suite are outfitted with California Closet systems as is a closet in one of the additional bedrooms. The upstairs floor plan is completed by 3 additional, generously sized bedrooms, a full bathroom with double sink, and linen closet. The main level has an eat-in kitchen with bay window and double-window overlooking the expansive rear yard enclosed by a picket fence, powder room, laundry room, dining room, and an open family/great room that leads out to a raised Trex deck covered by a removable canvas awning that overlooks acres of protected, open space. There are site-finished hardwood floors throughout the main level. The basement level has a large storage area with cabinetry that could also serve as a workshop and a finished section that leads to the rear yard through a slider and could be a playroom, den, gaming room or exercise area. The heat pump/AC unit is newer and under manufacturer warranty. A whole house security system has been updated with a new control panel. A natural gas line is currently being installed on the street so you will have an option to convert all systems and appliances over if desired!
