106 WILLOW SPRING RD Wilmington, DE 19807

Striking 4-BR stone-and-cedar contemporary in sylvan setting is ideally situated between Greenville and Hockessin. Owners can enjoy the best of Delaware"s most desirable zip codes. The small community is minutes from downtown Wilmington but mature trees turn it into wooded oasis with natural privacy. Nestled into a gentle slope, this home has the benefits of both a ranch and a two-story. A slate path, added by current owner, leads to new steps and dramatic double front doors. Corner floor-to-ceiling windows in the spacious foyer bring light into the space, as do 8-ft. sliders in the LR and DR. (All sliders and windows have been replaced with custom Andersen windows.) Natural materials abound, from the wood-burning floor-to-ceiling stone fireplaces - on both levels - to beams in the LR"s cathedral ceiling to the oak hardwood floors on the main floor. The open floor plan joins the LR and DR, and two wide entrances incorporate the updated kitchen, which has a corner bar with wine fridge, built-in desk, long granite-topped island, walk-in pantry, solid natural Cherry cabinets, five-burner cook-top, dual Jenn-Air ovens and new Bosch dishwasher. Private room off the DR is perfect for office, playroom or library. Since the spacious MBR and adjoining bathroom are on the main level, enjoy mostly first -floor living. Reach the lower level from the main staircase or a back staircase in the kitchen. The FR with tiled flooring and fireplace is at the heart of the lower level, which has a bedroom and full bath on one side and two bedrooms and a full bathroom on the other. The large laundry room has a handy chute from the MBR. Bonus room off the oversized 2-car garage boasts built-in work areas, double closets, a sink and room for exercise equipment. Use it for crafts or hobbies, including gardening. The cantilevered deck and patio are settings for memorable events, thanks to views of the 1+-acre lot, which features designs by White Oak Landscapes in Centreville, including a stone fountain and pond. New systems include HVAC (2015) and hot water heater (2017). Owner has replaced the roof and the interior has been freshly painted throughout. Upscale lighting fixtures are included; most switches have dimmers. With its gorgeous lot and cozy fireplaces, this is a home for all seasons. Get away from it all yet be close to it all in this rare find: a true contemporary with modern mindset.
