Description

Straight out of a magazine! This contemporary and completely remodeled 4-bedroom home is new from top to bottom, with a dramatic open floorplan, striking fixtures, gorgeous kitchen and baths, and a breezy coastal feel. Not your typical flip, the home was taken down to the studs, expanded and rebuilt by custom home builder and design professional Jason Oakes of Oakes Signature Homes. This beauty is situated on almost half an acre and features a full addition of a second-story primary suite. All major systems are also brand new, including Hardie board and batten siding, Anderson windows, ProLam architectural shingle roof, HVAC with smart thermostat, doors, lighting… everything! An oversized entryway welcomes you inside this home. Beautiful wide-plank hickory hardwood flooring leads into an open floorplan: The kitchen, dining room, and family room combination with gas fireplace in the center of it all. Featuring vaulted ceiling and recessed lighting, the family/dining room custom fireplace evokes a sense of warmth in the bright and open space. The sleek chef’s kitchen has open shelving above the stainless-steel stove, white marbled quartz countertops, a large breakfast bar, subway tile backsplash, and a Sinkology ceramic farmhouse sink with a Moen touchless faucet. The *chef’s kiss* is the stainless-steel Whirlpool dishwasher and refrigerator, a custom microwave build-in, contemporary, 42” soft-close cabinetry, and convenient counter seating. Off the dining room, you can step out the sliding door, with built in blinds, to the paver patio to grill, dine, relax, and enjoy the outdoors. Back inside on the main level you will find 3 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms, including the first of two primary suites with lovely en-suite bathroom. Completing the main level are the walk-in laundry room and a powder room for guests. The entire second level hosts the private and soothing primary retreat, with vaulted ceiling, sitting area, and spacious, spa-like en-suite bathroom with marbled porcelain tiles, a double vanity, modern lighting, and a walk-in tiled shower. Another impressive bonus feature of this home is a permanent holiday light package! Located conveniently near downtown Newark, Christiana Hospital, Wilmington, shopping, dining and major routes for commuting, the location is ideal. Be sure to schedule a showing today!
