This immaculate, neutral, upscale 7 year old brick front colonial located minutes from Centerville, Kennett Square & Hockessin is a rare opportunity in any market. Conveniently located off of bucolic Nine Gates Road, Dawson Tract is tucked away but ideally located. Quality construction is evident throughout this bright home, with site-finished hardwood floors throughout the first floor, 9' ceilings on the first floor, 5' baseboards & extensive wainscoting & moldings. The large slate front landing welcomes, and the entry leads to the 2 story foyer flanked by the office with double glass doors to the right and the living room to the left. The living room is open to the spacious light filled dining room with wainscoting. The kitchen is spacious with an island with breakfast bar, 42" white cabinets, granite counters, Bosch appliances and pantry closet. The ample-sized breakfast area is adjacent to the slider, leading to the expansive deck, with covered porch area on half and stairs to the yard. The generously sized family room has a gas fireplace and half wall separating the breakfast area for easy furniture placement. The laundry room with cabinets and utility sink is conveniently located off the kitchen and provides access to the 2 car garage. The private half bath completes the first floor. The hardwood staircase leads to the 4 2nd floor bedrooms. The primary bedroom is to the right and features a tray ceiling, extensive recessed lighting, a private sitting room/office, enormous walk-in closet and luxurious 4 piece bath with a soaking tub, double sink vanity and spacious shower.

The heat-pump with propane heat backup provides efficiency & comfort. The windows are low-E, double hung argon gas filled windows. The home has been meticulously cared for over its short life and the lovely landscaping has been planted for beauty & privacy. Preservation and park land surround the community, but the distance to conveniences is short. Showings start Friday, 3/3/23 and will continue through the weekend.
