27 KINGS GRANT ROAD

HOCKESSIN, DE19707

Showings begin Saturday October 10th!! Welcome to this carefully maintained four-bedroom home in Charter Oaks, a quiet, established neighborhood in the heart of Hockessin. With generous room sizes, abundant natural light, a wonderful backyard setting, and extensive updates made over many years of diligent ownership, this is a home designed for comfortable everyday living. Step inside and you'll immediately notice the spaciousness and light. Hardwood floors extend through most of the home, while large Marvin Integrity windows bring in exceptional natural light and frame views of the attractive yard and woods beyond. The floor plan offers plenty of room to spread out, with four generously sized bedrooms, excellent closet space, and a separate study that works equally well as a home office, library, or den. The family room, centered around a classic wood-burning fireplace, provides an inviting place to relax or gather with family and friends. The outdoor spaces are another highlight. A large flagstone patio designed by DiSabatino offers plenty of room for outdoor dining, grilling, and entertaining, with the backyard and woods providing an appealing backdrop. The professionally improved yard incorporates upgraded drainage, while vinyl siding and freshly painted exterior trim contribute to an attractive, low-maintenance exterior. Just as important is the care that has gone into the home over the years. Major improvements include a new roof and sheathing in 2025 with a transferable warranty, Marvin windows installed in 2017, a 96% efficient gas furnace, heat pump, new water heater, and updated electrical service and grounding. These substantial improvements complement the many smaller updates and ongoing maintenance that reflect long-term ownership and attention to the home. The full unfinished basement adds a remarkable amount of flexible space, with room for exercise equipment, a pool or ping-pong table, workshop, hobbies, and extensive storage. An accessible attic and two-car garage with separate doors provide still more useful space. The home also includes a radon mitigation system and both electric and water-powered backup sump pumps. One of the home's greatest advantages is its location. Charter Oaks offers the peace of an established residential neighborhood while putting much of Hockessin surprisingly close at hand. It's an easy walk or bike ride to the library, parks and athletic fields, shops, restaurants, and other community amenities. Medical, dental, and other professional services are just a few minutes away, while Ashland Nature Center and Auburn Valley State Park provide nearby opportunities to enjoy the outdoors. Wilmington and other major employment centers are easily accessible, and Philadelphia International Airport is only about 35–40 minutes away in good traffic. Spacious, light-filled, and exceptionally well cared for, this Charter Oaks home offers an appealing combination: the character and generous proportions of an established home, extensive investment in major systems, inviting indoor and outdoor spaces, and a location that makes both everyday life and getting farther afield remarkably convenient.
