CHARLIE SCHWARTZ

Description

This private and serene lot is set on over 10 acres of picturesque land overlooking Burrow Run. This retreat-like setting is highlighted by the stunning Colonial-style home originally built in 1929 but extensively added on to and remodeled to suit modern living preferences. Enter into the main foyer and immediately notice original hard wood floors that run throughout much of the main floor. To the left is a private office with built-in shelving and gas fireplace. Continue down the foyer to find the formal living room with gas fireplace including ornate mantle. Along the back of the house is a large sunken sunroom with radiant heat tiled flooring and 2 sets of French doors leading to the slate patio with raised views of the creek. The eat-in Chef's kitchen features a 6-burner Wolf range, Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, ice-maker and wine cooler, two Bosch dishwashers and a separate wet bar, all with marble countertops, hardwood floors and an adjoining sitting/breakfast area. Adjoining the kitchen is a spacious laundry/mudroom and butlers pantry with side entrance. Through the kitchen find the formal dining room with gas fireplace and arched doorways with French doors. Head up to the second level to find the spacious Primary bedroom wing, including a separate entranceway with two dressing rooms, linen closet, and a large marble bathroom with walk-in glass shower, soaking tub and separate sinks with vanities. Three additional suites, all with updated en-suites, completes the upper level. The spacious lower level provides ample dry storage and features a gated custom wine cellar. Two detached garages provide parking for up to 12 cars. Above the 4-car garage, is a one-bedroom apartment with a private entrance. Towards the back of the property is another 8-car garage. Enormous trees, rare and mature landscaping and seasons of colorful displays abound throughout the property. With close proximity to Ashland Nature Preserves, the Mt. Cuba Botanical Gardens, and within minutes of Greenville, Hockessin and downtown Wilmington this location offers seclusion as well as easy access to all that the area has to offer.
