    Overview

    Welcome to a home that’s been exceptionally cared for. This beautifully maintained 4 bedroom, 2.5 bathroom home offers the perfect combination of privacy, comfort, and convenience in one of the area’s most desirable neighborhoods. Highlights include: • 4 Bedrooms | 2.5 Bathrooms • Private backyard backing to protected woods for year round privacy • Oversized 3 car garage with an expansive driveway • Huge walk in pantry • Tankless water heater • Ceiling fans in every bedroom • Natural gas hookup on the patio for your grill • Professionally maintained lawn with exceptional curb appeal • Nearly new backyard playground • Friendly, relaxed HOA • Just 5 minutes to Route 1 for an easy commute to Philadelphia or Washington, D.C. Step outside and enjoy one of this home’s most unique features: a peaceful backyard that backs to protected woods, creating a level of privacy that’s increasingly difficult to find. The spacious patio offers plenty of room for entertaining, outdoor dining, and grilling, complete with a natural gas hookup so you’ll never have to refill a propane tank again. The backyard playground, installed just 18 months ago, is ready for years of memories. Inside, pride of ownership is evident throughout. As only the second owners, we’ve meticulously maintained every aspect of this home. From the oversized 3 car garage and spacious layout to the thoughtful upgrades and immaculate condition, this home is truly move in ready. The location is hard to beat. Just minutes from Route 1, you’ll enjoy an easy commute to Philadelphia in approximately one hour or Washington, D.C. in about two hours. Middletown’s shopping, dining, and entertainment are only 15 minutes away, while Wilmington is approximately 40 minutes north, giving you convenient access to everything you need while still enjoying the peace and quiet of this wonderful community. More than just a house, this has been our family’s home. It has been cared for with pride, professionally maintained, and thoughtfully improved over the years. We hope its next owners will love it just as much as we have.
    What the owner loves about this home
    What we’ve loved most about this home is the feeling it gives you every day. Stepping onto the back patio with a cup of coffee while listening to the birds, surrounded by the privacy and tranquility of the woods, it’s easy to forget you’re just minutes from everything. You get the peace and quiet of a secluded retreat without sacrificing convenience. Inside, the home has always felt warm, inviting, and comfortable. The oversized primary suite became our own private escape at the end of each day, while the spacious driveway and 3 car garage made hosting family and friends effortless. Whether it was holidays, birthdays, or simply having guests over, there was always room for everyone. This has never just been a house to us. It’s been a place where memories were made, where we felt at peace, and where we were proud to call home. We hope the next family experiences that same feeling the moment they walk through the front door.
