101 Meriden Dr, Hockessin, DE 19707

Welcome to 101 Meriden Drive! This sleek, updated, stone-front, mid-century modern ranch is surrounded by lush, professional landscaping in the beautiful, historic Canterbury Hills community. From the moment you step onto the meticulously maintained corner lot of just over an acre, you will appreciate the care that has been taken to provide a private, tranquil setting that includes mature deciduous and evergreen ornamental shrubs and trees, a flagstone patio, and covered entry. Once inside, the quality craftsmanship will be apparent throughout this home in the stonework, crown molding, custom cabinetry, exposed beams, gleaming hardwood floors, and built-in shelves. Just beyond the spacious foyer that includes a coat closet and sliding doors to the front patio, is a large living room with a cathedral ceiling and gas fireplace with stone surround. On one side it overlooks the yard through several picture windows, and on the other side it opens to a formal dining room that also has a large custom picture window and leads to the kitchen. This chef's dream kitchen features granite countertops, cherry cabinets, recessed and pendant lighting, new double oven and refrigerator, a commercial hood, a two-tiered center island with bar seating, a built-in desk with glass fronted cabinets and bookshelves, a casual dining area, pocket doors, and Pella windows and doors that overlook the back yard. The open, sprawling floor plan beyond the dining room and kitchen includes an office / library that has recessed lighting and a wood burning fireplace with stone surround. Additionally, there is a tastefully appointed family room on this level with crown molding, ceiling fan, recessed lighting, and French doors that lead to the back patio.
