The showstopping primary suite offers a true spa experience, featuring an approximately $50,000 custom bathroom with an imported Sepia resin soaking tub, an oversized floor-to-ceiling natural marble shower with a 9-foot bench, premium frameless glass enclosure, a digitally controlled shower system with multiple body sprays, custom quartz vanity, Toto smart toilet, illuminated medicine cabinets, and designer finishes throughout. The beautifully renovated hall bath continues the luxury with handcrafted Moroccan Zellige tile, smart mirrors, a double cultured marble vanity, premium fixtures, and a smart bidet. The kitchen has been thoughtfully updated with new upper cabinetry, updated flooring, newer appliances, granite countertops, and a stunning waterfall Carrara marble island that serves as the centerpiece of the space. Additional improvements include a custom walk-in closet, updated basement recreation room, EV charging station, premium water softener and reverse osmosis filtration system, and a newer roof. Outside, mature landscaping and exceptional curb appeal create a stunning first impression while providing the perfect setting for relaxing or entertaining. Ideally located just minutes from the sought after Newark Charter School, University of Delaware, Christiana Hospital, premier shopping, dining, and major commuter routes, this home offers the perfect blend of luxury, convenience, and location. Every improvement was completed with quality, functionality, and exceptional craftsmanship in mind.
