Description

Located in Pennwood, a highly coveted neighborhood in the Caesar Rodney School District, this immaculate five-bedroom, three full bath home with a three-car garage is designed for comfort and flexibility. The spacious main floor includes one bedroom that is perfect for guests, a home office, or multigenerational living. The open-concept kitchen with timeless maple cabinetry flows seamlessly into the family room, where a cozy gas fireplace, highlighted by stacked stone from floor to vaulted ceiling and a custom walnut mantle, creates the perfect spot for relaxing evenings or chilly mornings. Upstairs, you’ll find four additional bedrooms and two full bathrooms, providing plenty of space for family, hobbies, or a quiet retreat after a long day. The partially finished basement with custom built-in oak bookcases expands your living space even further, whether you envision a playroom, home gym, or media room for game days and movie nights. Outside, the home sits on a generous, well-maintained lot surrounded by mature trees, offering privacy and shade, and is a beautiful backdrop for enjoying your morning coffee or hosting summer barbecues under the stars on the large, easy-care composite deck. The home features numerous additional upgrades, including a whole-house generator, a separate mini-split comfort system and heated floors in the primary bathroom, seven-zone irrigation, and an earth- and budget-friendly, dual-zone geothermal system. This impressive property combines the space you need with the lifestyle you want, in a location that truly feels like home the moment you arrive. Schedule your tour!
