This exceptional residence in the prestigious Avignon community is grand at every turn, blending timeless elegance with impressive scale and architectural detail. From the moment you enter the dramatic two-story foyer with its sweeping curved staircase, you'll be captivated by the refined design and sophisticated spaces that unfold throughout the home. Formal living and dining rooms flank the entry, creating a stunning first impression while offering the perfect setting for both everyday living and memorable entertaining. The step-down living room is enhanced by a soaring vaulted ceiling and French doors leading to a private study, creating a flexible space ideal for working from home or enjoying a quiet retreat. The formal dining room is light-filled and elegant, showcasing beautiful architectural details including stately columns and classic wainscoting. The heart of this magnificent home is undoubtedly the open kitchen and family room, where style and comfort come together effortlessly. Anchoring both spaces is a breathtaking double-sided floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace that serves as a dramatic focal point. The family room impresses with a soaring cathedral ceiling, walls of windows that flood the space with natural light, and access to both the study and screened porch. Designed with gathering in mind, the spacious kitchen features abundant cabinetry and counter space, a large center island, pantry, and seamless flow into the adjoining living spaces. Glass doors lead to the rear deck and private backyard setting, creating the ideal indoor-outdoor connection. Upstairs, the home continues to impress with thoughtfully designed living quarters. The sprawling owner's suite offers a peaceful retreat with a spacious bedroom, sitting area, and luxurious primary bath complete with a double vanity, jetted soaking tub, and separate shower. Two generously sized bedrooms share a hall bath, while a fourth bedroom enjoys the privacy of its own en-suite bath. Space is never in short supply with additional features including a finished lower-level recreation room, main-level laundry, and a three-car garage. Beyond the home itself, Avignon offers one of Hockessin's most desirable locations. Tucked within a picturesque community of luxury homes, residents enjoy a private setting while remaining close to Hockessin's charming shops, restaurants, parks, and everyday conveniences. Commuters appreciate easy access to Wilmington, Newark, and major routes, while nearby recreation, golf courses, and highly regarded local amenities make this an exceptional place to call home.
