307 Riding Path Dr Clayton, DE 19938

Welcome to Your Forever Home! Located in the highly desirable Jockey Hollow II Development and the award-winning Smyrna School District in Clayton, this is a rare opportunity to own a stunning, move-in-ready home on a premium .66 acre lot with one-of-a-kind views! Backing to approximately 100 acres of open space the community offers a tranquil country feel while still being just minutes from Highway 95, Route 1, the beaches, and only 15 minutes to Middletown. This home has been meticulously maintained, and pride of ownership shines throughout every detail! As you approach, you'll immediately notice the beautiful stone front porch-a warm and inviting welcome to what lies inside. Step through the front door and fall in love with the open-concept layout, 9-foot ceilings, and richly upgraded engineered hardwood flooring that spans the entire main level. The home feels bright and airy, offering both space and style. The gourmet kitchen is a true centerpiece, featuring updated maple cabinetry with crown molding, granite countertops, and a custom tile backsplash that ties everything together seamlessly. You'll enjoy cooking with your double oven and glass cooktop, while updated stainless-steel appliances (many still under warranty) add function and flair. The spacious pantry offers plenty of storage, and the built-in coffee/wine bar-complete with under-cabinet lighting and its own stainless-steel sink-adds a special touch for both everyday convenience and entertaining. Natural light pours through oversized windows, filling the space with warmth and offering breathtaking views of open farmland and nature as your daily backdrop. The family room features a vaulted ceiling and a stunning granite-surround gas fireplace-the perfect spot to relax during cozy winter evenings. A beautifully renovated guest bathroom on the main floor continues the farmhouse charm with a new vanity, sink, lighting, and farmhouse mirror. Upstairs, discover four generously sized bedrooms, including a luxurious primary suite with vaulted ceilings, engineered hardwood flooring, and a spacious walk-in closet. The primary bathroom is spa-inspired with a double vanity, upgraded lighting, glass walk-in tile shower with a rain shower-head, and a large soaking tub perfect for unwinding after a long day. The updated barn-style mirrors and farmhouse lighting complete the tranquil retreat. Three additional bedrooms offer neutral, updated paint, ample closet space, and modern ceiling fans. The second full bathroom includes ceramic tile flooring, a double sink vanity, and shiplap accents, continuing the farmhouse theme. Convenience is key with a second-floor laundry room, complete with a new washer and dryer set still under warranty and a nearby linen closet. The full walkout basement is clean, dry, and full of potential! A new water filtration system, whole-home dehumidifier, and standing freezer are already installed. Whether you envision a home gym, theater room, play area, or guest suite, the possibilities are endless! Step out back to your own private oasis. The 10×20 deck has been professionally upgraded with TimberTech decking, vinyl/metal railing, and a stunning white vinyl pergola that adds shade without blocking your view. Just below, an expansive 40×25 stamped concrete patio-styled to look like wood-offers room for relaxing, dining, and entertaining. Enjoy the built-in fire pit on cool evenings, and updated outdoor lighting keeps the space beautifully lit after dark. On hot summer days, take a dip in your sparkling saltwater pool, featuring a color-changing light for magical night swims. The fully vinyl-fenced backyard ensures safety for kids or pets and includes double and single gate access. A 10×12 barn-style vinyl shed adds extra storage for outdoor gear. Additional features include a 3-car garage with upgraded 8' tall doors, permanent outdoor lighting, and a modern security camera system-all easily controlled from your smart device.
