About this home
Perfectly positioned on a prominent corner lot in the prestigious Hitchens Farm community, this exceptional brick-front estate offers timeless elegance, impeccable craftsmanship, and over-the-top amenities in one of Newark's most sought-after neighborhoods. With a stately presence, a three-car side-entry garage, and beautifully maintained grounds, this remarkable residence is designed for those who appreciate luxury without compromise.
A dramatic two-story foyer welcomes you inside, where a breathtaking butterfly staircase creates an unforgettable first impression. Rich hardwood flooring flows throughout nearly the entire home, complemented by formal living and dining rooms that gracefully flank the foyer, creating sophisticated spaces for entertaining.
At the heart of the home is a spectacular gourmet kitchen thoughtfully designed for both everyday living and grand-scale gatherings. Appointed with granite countertops, an expansive center island complete with prep sink, Whirlpool double wall ovens, warming drawer, wine refrigerator, GE five-burner gas cooktop, Samsung stainless steel French-door refrigerator, and abundant cabinetry, every detail has been carefully considered. The sunny breakfast area opens seamlessly to the expansive composite deck through sliding glass doors, offering picturesque views of the private backyard and creating the perfect setting for indoor-outdoor entertaining. A rear staircase provides convenient access to the upper level.
The impressive two-story family room is beautifully open to the kitchen, allowing conversation and connection to flow effortlessly while soaring ceilings and walls of windows fill the space with natural light.
Offering exceptional flexibility, the main level also includes a private in-law suite featuring a spacious sitting room, walk-in closet, and full bath with a beautifully tiled shower—ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, or an au pair. A handsome private study provides an elegant work-from-home space, while the well-appointed laundry and mudroom features granite-topped storage cabinetry, a utility sink, direct access to the three-car garage, and a pedestrian door leading to the rear deck.
Upstairs, the luxurious owner's retreat is truly a sanctuary. This expansive suite boasts a generous sitting room, an additional private study or multi-purpose room, and a stunning recently renovated spa-inspired bath complete with a freestanding soaking tub, separate shower, dual vanities, and refined finishes throughout. Two secondary bedrooms share a beautifully appointed adjoining bath, while a fourth bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own en-suite bath and walk-in closet.
The unfinished walk-out lower level offers tremendous future potential, already plumbed for a full bath and ready to become additional living space, or left unfinished for abundant storage.
Additional features include dual-zone HVAC enhanced with a UV lamp and whole-home air purification system, in-ground irrigation/sprinkler system, and a new water heater installed in May 2024.
Beyond the home itself, Hitchens Farm is prized for its tree-lined streets, elegant homes, and convenient location. Residents enjoy easy access to the shopping, dining, and entertainment of Newark, nearby parks and walking trails, the University of Delaware, major commuter routes including I-95, and countless local conveniences, all while enjoying the tranquility and prestige of one of the area's premier communities....
