111 Quaker Hill Ln

Outstanding mid-century brick ranch amid the quiet peace of Tilllman Hills, right near the heart of Hockessin. As you approach this sprawling ranch, the first thing you might feel is: "at last, one floor living, but with some SIZE" You'll note the beautiful stone hardscaping and pair of stately Oaks that screen a handsome and welcoming lot, and will smile at the peonies greeting you at the driveway. Enter by a wide flagstone foyer and turn right to an appealing gourmet kitchen, just redone in 2020. A chef's stove, maple cabinets, and oversized granite island provide workspace galore. This adjoins the family room, forming the heart of your life here in this home. Together, they provide plenty of space for the party to overflow :-) The family room is brightly lit by a huge picture window, and warmed by a brick fireplace; wood fired, but with a gas line extended for those who may prefer to later convert. Off of this area, you'll find a cheerful sunroom with windows on 3 sides overlooking a patio and manicured backyard. Returning inside, you have a gracious formal dining room large enough for even the biggest of gatherings you might host! The very large and appealing great room is flooded with natural light by an immense picture window, which observes the rear grounds. Note the large room sizes, site finished hardwood floors, and crown molding that grace this elegant home throughout. This is a home of substance and distinction ! Down a long hardwood hallway with double closets, you'll find the bedroom wing, a bit apart from the living space of the home for relaxing peaceful bedtimes. Smart design not often found. The master bedroom is large with his and hers closets, many windows, and a remodeled bathroom with an impressive tiled walk in shower. The other two bedrooms similarly spacious, and served by another remodeled bathroom with tub/shower combo. You'll feel a sense of abundance in this home, rather than "all squished together" as is sometimes the case with a ranch. This will increase as you head into the basement. Here you will find a finished room, soundproofed and presently used as an entertainment/ music studio complete with a bar. Yet just as easily an office, gym, 4th bedroom or whatever your needs may be. With a handy bathroom right there, as well as the laundry. Significant unfinished basement space abounds, some now used as a shop, plenty as storage, and there are 2 exits that walkout to the oversized garage. If bikes, motorcycles, canoes are your pleasure, there's ample room to securely store them. The 2 bay garage provide spacious areas both to the left and right of the doors for cars and outdoor things that bring you joy. Further delight will rise in your spirit when you stroll about the manicured backyard. lovingly planted with shrubs and low maintenance perennial flowers, fully fenced and further screened by towering arbor vitae for complete privacy. Live in an outdoor oasis of quiet, or amidst the clamor of play, but securely relaxed knowing this is a controlled safe space for your precious 2 and 4 legged loved ones to joyously cavort. The mechanical condition will bring you great confidence. It is a STOUT house, made even more sound by the sellers updates. It was re-insulated when the kitchens and baths were done, the Roof was completely replaced 2018, with the entire plywood deck entirely replaced. "Salt and pepper to taste" they say, so you can bit by bit season the home to yours, without worry about something important going wrong. BIG ranch homes are very hard to find, and this is a really good one, on a quiet cul-de-sac. The DuPont schools are very nearby, the taxes are low, and you will ejoy convenience to everything and anywhere. Come visit, we're confident you'll agree.
