1626 Snuff Mill Rd, Hockessin, DE 19707

Rare Opportunity! Built in 1910, this delightful home was the original manor house for the historic tobacco snuff mills located in nearby Yorklyn. Extensive restoration in 1997 by Bancroft Construction has resulted in the magnificent residence that exists today with finishing touches added by the current "caretakers". Construction practices that would amaze the most discriminating builder include original white oak flooring throughout and the use of oversized framing with unusually thick and wide studs spaced close together providing exceptional stability. Some of the many wonderful benefits include 9ft. 9 in. ceilings on the main level, 3 story staircase with wide runners, original oversized veranda, thoughtfully updated kitchen and original woodwork with decorative moldings throughout. Add on historical prominence, modern systems, tucked-away location on over 3 picturesque acres and an extensive array of landscape plantings to only begin appreciating all this property has to offer.
