Property Description
We're excited to announce that one of Delaware's exceptional luxury estate homes is returning to the market! Proudly designated as a RE/MAX Miracle Home, a portion of the seller's proceeds will benefit Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) through Children's Miracle Network Hospitals®. Buyers are also invited to make an optional contribution at closing in support of local children's healthcare. A rare opportunity to own a truly custom estate residence built by renowned Delaware builder R. C. Peoples for a member of his immediate family. Perfectly positioned beside the landmark Peoples family estate, this stately all-brick Georgian Colonial-inspired home combines timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-style outdoor living. Commissioned for the builder's immediate family, the residence reflects a level of quality and craftsmanship rarely found in today's construction. While preserving its original character and architectural integrity, the home benefited from a substantial renovation in 2009, highlighted by a comprehensive redesign of the gourmet kitchen and updates to several additional living spaces. Approached by an expansive horseshoe driveway, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with its commanding two-story columned entrance, custom paver entry, and meticulously landscaped grounds. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer welcomes guests with a sweeping quarter-turn staircase, elegant Italian marble flooring, rich ¾-inch Red Oak hardwood floors, and extensive custom millwork throughout. At the heart of the home, the renovated gourmet kitchen offers custom cabinetry, granite countertops and backsplash with waterfall detailing, a three-tier island, under-cabinet lighting, built-in Bose speakers, and premium appliances including a Sub-Zero refrigerator, Viking wine chiller, JennAir ovens and cooktop, Bosch dishwasher, GE Advantium speed cooker, and Dacor warming drawer. The adjoining dining room features built-in china cabinets, a glass-paneled privacy door, and French doors leading to a secluded patio. Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the home offers a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and marble surround, a spacious family room with a Buck wood stove, raised brick hearth, decorative box-beam ceiling, and a stunning conservatory overlooking the rear grounds. Surrounded by panoramic views of the pool, gardens, patios, and mature landscaping, this light-filled retreat seamlessly connects the interior living spaces with the outdoors. The luxurious primary suite features a walk-in dressing area, spa-inspired bath, gas fireplace, custom lighting, and a private rooftop terrace overlooking the pool and gardens. Secondary bedrooms are well appointed with new carpeting over the Oak hardwood floors, recessed lighting, and new paint. The resort-inspired backyard is anchored by a custom in-ground pool constructed by Swift Pools in 2004 and enhanced by extensive paver patios, retaining walls with accent lighting, a dedicated grilling station, a pergola shaded by mature flowering vines, and a multi-level waterfall and pond feature. Extensive hardscaping, mature landscaping, and multiple entertaining areas create a private oasis within the fully fenced rear yard. The finished lower level offers a pub-style wet bar, entertainment and gaming areas, custom library cabinetry, powder room, fitness or flex space, abundant storage, and expansion potential beneath the front entrance. Additional highlights include a Carrier hybrid HVAC system, dedicated laundry room, oversized turned two-car garage with epoxy flooring and attic storage, convenient garage-to-basement staircase access, and extensive owner parking. Luxury living with a purpose-an extraordinary Delaware estate that not only offers timeless elegance and resort-style amenities, but also supports the REMAX Miracle Home program.
