Property Description
From the moment you enter, you're greeted by a breathtaking two-story foyer featuring a dramatic dual staircase and graceful archways that define the formal living and dining spaces. Rich hardwood floors and custom architectural details flow throughout, creating a timeless and sophisticated atmosphere.
To your right, a formal sitting room provides the perfect space to gather or relax, while to your left, a spacious dining room connects seamlessly to the heart of the home—the expansive kitchen. This chef-inspired space boasts granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, an abundance of cabinetry, a large walk-in pantry, a double wall oven, and a center island ideal for prep or casual dining. A raised peninsula adds additional seating and opens to a sun-drenched morning room—perfect for entertaining. You'll also find a built-in coffee bar, making mornings extra enjoyable.
The two-story family room is the showstopper of the home, with soaring ceilings, a wall of windows that flood the space with natural light, rich hardwood flooring, a cozy gas fireplace, and a stunning custom chandelier that adds warmth and sophistication. Just off the family room is a handsome study with custom built-ins—ideal for working from home or curling up with a book.
Tucked behind the kitchen, a versatile first-floor room with its own private full bath is perfect for an in-law suite, guest quarters, or dedicated home office. Also on the main level is a large laundry room with tile flooring, upper cabinets for storage, and a utility sink—a functional and convenient feature of everyday living.
Upstairs, retreat to a luxurious owner's suite featuring a private sitting area, a spacious sleeping quarters, and a dressing corridor that includes a built-in vanity and two oversized walk-in closets. The en-suite bath boasts dual sinks, a soaking tub, and a walk-in shower. Three additional generously sized bedrooms and two full baths complete the upper level.
Step outside and discover a backyard oasis—professionally landscaped with custom hardscaping, a stunning stone fireplace, and a private walkway that connects the front of the home to the rear entertaining area. The lawn is equipped with a full irrigation sprinkler system, and the property backs to protected community open space, offering enhanced privacy and picturesque views.
The walk-out basement offers endless potential—already roughed in for a bathroom and ready to be finished into the ultimate recreation or entertainment space. It also includes a secure room featuring a Bighorn safe, perfect for storing valuables, firearms, or creating a hobby or wine room.
Additional highlights include a 3-car side-entry garage with a pristine epoxy floor, offering space for vehicles, tools, or a workshop.
As a resident of Red Lion Chase, you'll enjoy access to resort-style community amenities including a clubhouse, fitness center, outdoor pool, tennis and pickleball courts, basketball courts, and a playground.
Ideally located close to major roadways including Route 1 and I-95, this home is just a short drive to Middletown, Christiana Mall, grocery stores, favorite local restaurants, and the Michael N. Castle C&D Canal Trail—perfect for scenic walks, bike rides, and breathtaking views of the water.
