Description
Fantastic opportunity to get into one of Hockessin's most beloved neighborhoods! Owned by the same family for nearly 40 years on one of the best sections of Cabot Drive, this 2 story colonial home was the hub of gatherings for many decades. The first floor features a circular floor plan with a spacious living room to the right of the foyer with a bay window and beautiful hardwood floor, this room opens to the formal dining room with a great view of the rear yard. The kitchen is next to the family room with an opening in the shared wall above the breakfast bar. The family room features a brick fireplace that was built to be woodburning but now with a gas insert. The traditional layout is enhanced by a fabulous 18 x 12 four season room adjacent to the family room and accessed by beautiful solid wood double french doors. Many important updates are already done for you including new HVAC in 2023, double concrete driveway in 2020, kitchen with new custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, 5 burner gas range, recessed lighting and a breakfast bar all completed in 2017, and replacement windows throughout for optimum energy efficiency. The basement was finished in the 1970's complete with paneled walls and still has that vibe! Keep it or upgrade it, since it has been grandfathered pre-2002. Your outdoor equipment has a home with the oversized one-car garage with opener and the shed in the backyard. The big items have been completed, this great home is just waiting for your personal style. Located in the heart of Hockessin, walking or biking everywhere is a breeze! The 4th of July parade is just down the street and you can walk to the evening fireworks! Don't miss this chance to get a 4BR 2.5BA single home in 19707 at a great price!

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
