Perched on a picturesque 2-acre wooded hillside in the heart of Greenville, this stunning Georgian Colonial has been lovingly restored with extraordinary attention to detail. Seamlessly blending timeless architecture with sophisticated modern finishes, this home is a rare find. Step through the elegant front entry into a home filled with character and charm. Gorgeous wide plank hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by custom millwork, crown molding, and three levels of beautifully crafted staircases. Thoughtfully placed accent lighting highlights built-in shelving and showcases the home's exquisite craftsmanship. The formal living room is a showstopper—featuring 9-foot ceilings, a wood-burning fireplace, and a bay window with sweeping views of the scenic property along Pyles Ford Rd. The adjacent family room offers a second wood-burning fireplace, while the gourmet kitchen is a chef’s dream—complete with a center island topped with rich wood countertops, stainless steel appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, a breakfast room, and a charming butler’s pantry. The second floor boasts four spacious bedrooms and three full baths, including a serene primary suite with its own fireplace, custom closet with architectural detailing, and a luxurious en-suite bath featuring marble floors, a soaking tub, and a beautifully tiled shower. The third floor, once an attic, has been transformed into a versatile living space featuring a large home office, hobby room, marble-floored laundry room, and a fourth full bath—ideal for guests or work-from-home needs. Entertain with ease in the lower level, featuring a game room with wet bar, powder room, and expansive billiards/recreation room. An oversized two-car garage is also conveniently located on this level. Enjoy outdoor living year-round on the rebuilt covered front porch—offering over 635 sq. ft. of living space with designated areas for grilling, dining, and relaxing, all overlooking tranquil wooded surroundings. Located just minutes from the shopping, dining, and cultural offerings of Greenville and Centerville, with easy access to downtown Wilmington and a quick commute to Philadelphia. This is a rare opportunity to own a private hillside oasis in one of Delaware’s most sought-after communities. Truly a must-see in Greenville! https://iframe.videodelivery.net/9babbe76d2ee493068a6292b65782465
