Welcome to 36 Benson Ct in Dover, DE, a thoughtfully renovated and meticulously maintained home set on approximately 0.59 acres with beautiful mature landscaping and an exceptional backyard retreat. Offering approximately 3,133 square feet, this four-bedroom home provides a flexible layout with spacious living areas, abundant storage, and thoughtful updates throughout. The main level welcomes you with an expanded foyer featuring beautiful Italian tile flooring with electric radiant heat that continues through the hallway, kitchen, and eat-in dining area. The remodeled kitchen is truly the heart of the home, featuring custom Amish-built cabinetry, pull-out organizers, an extensive butler’s pantry, earth-tone granite countertops, and a large center island with seating for three. The kitchen opens to a bright four-season sunroom with matching heated tile floors and access to the covered rear porch. A formal living room, dedicated office, family/recreation room, mudroom, and main-level full bathroom provide plenty of flexibility for everyday living and entertaining. The main-level addition offers an especially versatile fourth bedroom suite. Designed with accessibility in mind, this area features 36-inch doorways, a large closet, full bathroom with walk-in shower, and access to a walk-up attic with additional storage. Even a private 2nd entrance to the home, and exit to the back yard and deck. The partial basement, currently used as a home gym, adds even more useful space. Upstairs, newly installed hardwood flooring extends throughout two additional bedrooms, dressing room, and the hallway. The spacious primary suite features crown molding, a walk-in closet, and a remodeled private bath with a double-width vanity, soaking tub, and decorative glass-block privacy wall. An additional hall bath was also remodeled and features ceramic tile, coordinating accents, and a skylight. The convenient upstairs laundry room offers private access and built-in storage. Outside, the property truly shines. Multiple covered porches, a rear deck, decorative concrete and brick patios, and a large brick-paver patio with white pergola create numerous spaces for relaxing and entertaining. The backyard oasis features a 41' x 21' above-ground pool with a deep end, surrounded by an expansive composite-style deck and sun deck. A large 12' x 24' storage shed, raised garden bed, mature landscaping, and fencing complete the outdoor space. Numerous major improvements provide added peace of mind, including a 2021 roof, skylight and replacement windows, 2024 expanded and resurfaced driveway and additional parking area, 2024 pool liner, and 2015 garage doors. The oversized two-car garage includes pull-down attic access, while the expanded side parking area offers room for a camper, boat, RV, or additional vehicles.
