The patio is surrounded by mature trees, enhancing the home’s natural setting. Important system updates have already been completed, including a septic system (2021), 200-amp electrical panel (2023), well accumulator tank (2023), and a Bradford White 50-gallon hot water heater (2024) with sensor alarm. The home is serviced by a high-efficiency Rheem oil furnace (2004), and the roof was replaced in 2012. There is a newer washer and dryer plus an additional dryer, and a whole house fan (as-is). Located along the Red Clay Valley Scenic Byway, this home offers easy access to shopping, dining, and major routes, including nearby Hockessin conveniences.
