Nature lovers will delight in this lovely property situated in the beautiful, wooded community of Great Good Place. This peaceful location in the northern outskirts of suburban Newark known as Corner Ketch is just steps from the Pennsylvania state line and borders hiking trails in the White Clay Creek State Park (DE) and WCC Preserve (PA). The property has been conscientiously nurtured to be certified as a wildlife habitat. Thoughtfully landscaped with a multitude of native plantings such as trilliums, virginia bluebells, jack-in-the-pulpits, solomon's seal, foamflower, spicebush, and many types of ferns provide a non stop color show throughout the seasons as well as the necessary elements to support and sustain feathered and furry friends. Quiet spaces have been carved out throughout the 1.6 acre property, for relaxation and meditation which one can access by strolling down several mulched paths. Inside the expanded cape cod style, traditional, brick and vinyl home, one will find 3200+ square feet of living space, with generously sized public and private rooms. A welcoming front porch provides a sheltered entry to the slate foyer. Formal living and dining areas are to either side. The sunny family room, steps from the large, eat-in kitchen is where one will be drawn. Looking out to the rear yard from the large windows or to the screened in porch and deck beyond, there's the sense of being enveloped in a lush blanket of green. The main level of the house is floored in hardwoods, slate, and vinyl. The kitchen and the primary bedroom suite which is tucked away from it all, have been freshly painted. Three large bedrooms upstairs include one newly carpeted "suite" with its own sitting room or office. Spaces for storage can be found in the convenient upper level walk-in attic, large closets in every bedroom, in the massive 1200+ square foot basement with adjacent crawl space, as well as the two car attached garage. Additional storage under the rear deck is a handy option for outdoor accessories. This property has been nicely maintained with updates to the HVAC (2017/18), roof (2009, 2011), water heater (2010), hardwood flooring in primary bedroom, (2011), and hardwood flooring in bedroom #3. Several of the included appliances are newer such as washer and dryer replaced in 2020. A new septic system is in the design phase and will be installed prior to settlement. While one may feel like the location is miles and miles from traffic and congestion, this home is just minutes to Hockessin, Wilmington, and Newark.
