Description

Welcome to 6499 Limestone Road! This property is 4.11 acres, and is located in the esteemed Hockessin area. This property has so much potential with the amount of space you'll have! In total, there are 2 parcels that are 1.72 and 2.39 acres. The house on the property is vintage and is being sold as is, which means you can do whatever you'd like to update and improve, as the sellers will not make repairs. The house has three full baths, six bedrooms, and a whole lot of charm! Because this is an older home, you will probably need to make repairs; however, there have been previous updates, which include, electrical system, furnace, roof, and a full bath on the main floor. We decided to list this property as Residential ? Lot/Land ? and Commercial, because the possibilities are endless. With the right approval from the county, there is a chance you could have multiple homes build on the land, or use it as a commercial property (have we mentioned the possibilities?). In addition to the central location on Route 7, the acreage back up to Tweeds Park and the Hockessin Athletic Club, which are beautiful and popular places to visit, now just a short walk away! Don't forget to check out the Drone Photographs and the Virtual Tour, so you can see how vast and spacious this property is. We know you'll love it!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources.
