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 generously sized, including an oversized bedroom created by combining the original third and fourth bedrooms, which can easily be restored to a traditional four-bedroom configuration. The resort-inspired backyard is anchored by a custom in-ground pool constructed by Swift Pools in 1999 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.
