Set on a rare 1+ acre lot in the midst of Hockessin where this kind of space is almost unheard of, this classic brick Cape Cod offers timeless character, solid construction, and endless potential. Featuring 4 bedrooms and 3 full baths, the home includes a desirable main-level primary suite for convenient one-floor living. Beautiful hardwood flooring in the living room is just a highlight to the lovely fireplace that is the focus of this room. The kitchen retains its original charm with beautifully maintained knotty pine cabinetry in exceptional condition — a perfect opportunity to update at your own pace while preserving its warmth and craftsmanship. The family room offers a second fireplace and larger entertaining space and includes a door to the expansive outdoors. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms and a full bath are ready for renovation and customization, offering instant equity potential. Outside, enjoy a private backyard retreat complete with a paved patio and a built-in pizza oven, ideal for entertaining and outdoor gatherings. A detached 2-car garage adds functionality and extra storage. This home is perfectly situated off the main road to give you the privacy you desire, while at the same time right across from the Hockessin park to allow you front row seats to the annual 4th of July fireworks! This opportunity does not present itself often! Don't let it slip by! With its uncommon acreage, classic Cape Cod design, and opportunity to make it your own, this property is a rare find with exceptional upside.
