Property Description

Rarely available in the highly sought-after Valley View neighborhood, this beautifully maintained Colonial is nestled on a picturesque 1-acre wooded lot and located on a quiet street with no through traffic, offering exceptional privacy and a peaceful neighborhood setting. This is the kind of community where homeowners put down roots and stay for years. Lovingly maintained by the same owner since 1998, this exceptional home combines generous living spaces, timeless design, and a flexible floor plan in one of the area's most desirable locations. Situated within the highly regarded Red Clay Consolidated School District, the home also offers convenient access to Greenville, Newark, Avondale, Kennett Square, and Wilmington for outstanding dining, shopping, parks, and everyday conveniences.



Surrounded by mature trees and beautiful landscaping, the property features a two-car side-load garage, an expansive driveway, and a Level II electric vehicle charger that conveys with the home. Step inside to discover spacious rooms designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining. The formal living room offers endless possibilities as an elegant sitting room, library, or private retreat, while the formal dining room is ideal for hosting holiday gatherings and special occasions.



The updated gourmet kitchen is the heart of the home, showcasing granite countertops, abundant cabinetry, a spacious center island with breakfast bar seating, and plenty of prep space. An adjoining breakfast area provides a bright space for casual dining and flows seamlessly into the inviting family room, where a wood-burning fireplace is complemented by an electric fireplace insert offering both supplemental heat and realistic flame effects. Sliding glass doors lead to the expansive rear deck overlooking the wooded backyard. With the home's western exposure, you'll enjoy spectacular sunset views, and the peaceful wooded setting creates a serene, retreat-like atmosphere that feels worlds away while remaining close to everything you need—an ideal place to relax, entertain, or unwind at the end of the day.



A private main-level office with custom built-ins and its own sliding glass door offers an ideal work-from-home space. Conveniently located beside a full bathroom, this versatile room can also serve as a main-level bedroom, making it an excellent option for guests, multigenerational living, or those seeking added flexibility. A spacious laundry room completes the main level.



Upstairs, you'll find four generously sized bedrooms and two full bathrooms. Each bedroom offers excellent closet space, while the spacious primary suite features a walk-in closet plus access to a cedar closet that is also conveniently accessible from the upper-level hallway.



The walkout lower level is unfinished, providing abundant storage and endless possibilities for future expansion, whether you envision a recreation room, home gym, workshop, media room, or additional living space.



Additional updates include a recently replaced water heater (July 2026), providing added peace of mind for the next owner.



Offering exceptional space, privacy, flexibility, breathtaking sunset views, and a location that is always in demand, this is a rare opportunity to own a lovingly maintained home in one of the area's most established and desirable neighborhoods.
