707 Pine Ridge Ln, Hockessin, DE 19707

Step into the good life with this one-of-a-kind slice of paradise! Tucked just minutes from the Village of Hockessin in the gorgeous Valley View neighborhood, this spectacular single-family home sits on a beautiful one-acre property in the shadow of Ashland Nature Center with views that feel like a peaceful mountain getaway. From winter evenings by the wood-burning fireplace with wood stove insert, to summer mornings on the refinished, three-tiered back deck, to the scenic view from the kitchen window, this home combines off-the-beaten-path serenity with the amenities of one of Delaware’s most sought-after communities and school districts. Note the restored stone retaining wall outside the front door and enter through the covered front porch to be greeted by a spacious living room and an elegant dining room in the front of the house. Both have charming bay windows with benches perfect for plants, pets, or people to sit and catch the afternoon sun. Through the dining room is a sweeping eat-in kitchen with spectacular natural lighting. Be sure to stop and take the first of many long looks out the window over the kitchen sink — from the burst of color in October, to the first snows of winter, to the deer, foxes, and hawks you’ll call across the yard to come see, you’ll be fighting over who gets to do the dishes. Cabinet space and shelving abound — not just in the kitchen, but across the property. Just beyond the kitchen is a walk-in pantry and laundry room with front-load washer and dryer included. The laundry room connects to a two-car garage with a spare refrigerator and enough shelves for even the most hopeless hobbyist. Just in case, the basement also features a full workbench, standing freezer, and extra shelving. But first, let’s trace our steps back up the garage stairs, into the laundry room, past the kitchen and into the living room — while noting the half bath and storage closet to your right. The den is the heart of this home, especially during the colder months with the recent update of the sleek and fully functional wood-stove insert and plenty of firewood on the property. The den connects to the living room but can be separated by two French pocket doors. Upstairs, you’ll find four spacious bedrooms and two full bathrooms. The back two rooms are mirror images of one another, each with lots of natural light and a long closet, with the larger third bedroom adding a walk-in closet. That’s not to be outdone by the primary bedroom and en suite custom bathroom, featuring a double vanity that’s fully equipped with — you guessed it! — a ton of storage. The primary bathroom shower, featuring a rainfall shower head, wand, and high-pressure sprayers, is a showstopper—and the toilet is behind closed doors. Sometimes, it’s the little things. The house is serviced by a well with a recently-updated water filter and softener system; a recently installed septic system (2020); a new heat pump (2025); a 200-amp electrical service with an included interlock, sub-panel, and a gas generator to keep your family safe and comfortable no matter what the world throws at you. This incredible home won't last long. Schedule your tour today!
