7 Quail Xing, Wilmington, DE 19807

7 Quail Crossing is a secluded two-acre property within a 22-acre subdivision in Centreville, DE. Nestled in a forested area, this certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat and former Wilmington Garden Day site provides the joys of living in harmony with nature: beauty, tranquility, and serenity. Drive up the hill to the home through a glade of hardwoods, between two spring-fed, koi-filled ponds, and then pass the tall rhododendrons, azaleas, rosebud trees, and andromeda bushes. Don’t miss the charming spring house and bridge to the island on the smaller pond.
