Property Description

A rare opportunity to own a truly custom estate residence built by renowned Delaware builder R. C. Peoples for a member of his immediate family. Perfectly positioned beside the landmark Peoples family estate, this stately all-brick Georgian-inspired home combines timeless architecture, exceptional craftsmanship, and resort-style outdoor living.

Approached by an expansive horseshoe driveway, the home makes an unforgettable first impression with its commanding two-story columned entrance, custom paver entry, and meticulously landscaped grounds. Inside, a dramatic two-story foyer welcomes guests with a sweeping curved staircase and elegant Italian marble flooring. At the same time, rich ¾-inch solid Red Oak hardwood floors extend throughout much of the home. Extensive custom millwork, including stain-grade chair rails, wainscoting, multi-piece crown moldings, and solid wood doors, reflects the exceptional quality found throughout.

At the heart of the home, the gourmet chef's kitchen offers custom-crafted cabinetry with soft-close doors, granite countertops and backsplash with waterfall detailing, a substantial three-tier island, under-cabinet lighting, built-in Bose speakers, and an impressive collection of premium appliances including Sub-Zero, Viking, JennAir, and Dacor. The adjoining dining room features built-in china cabinets, a glass-paneled privacy door, and French doors leading to a secluded patio.

Designed for both entertaining and everyday comfort, the home offers multiple gathering spaces, including a formal living room with a wood-burning fireplace and marble surround, as well as a spacious family room highlighted by a raised brick hearth, a Buck wood stove, a decorative box-beam ceiling, and extensive custom woodwork.

The luxurious primary suite serves as a private retreat featuring a walk-in dressing area, spa-inspired bath with jetted soaking tub and separate shower, gas fireplace, custom lighting, and a remarkable rooftop deck overlooking the pool and beautifully landscaped grounds. Secondary bedrooms are generously sized, including a flexible oversized bedroom created by combining the original third and fourth bedrooms, which can easily be restored to a traditional four-bedroom configuration if desired.

The resort-inspired backyard is truly exceptional. A custom Swift Pools in-ground pool with diving board, built-in benches, and expansive exposed aggregate decking is surrounded by extensive paver patios, retaining walls with accent lighting, a dedicated grilling station, pergola draped with mature flowering vines, and a tranquil multi-tier waterfall and pond feature. Multiple outdoor entertaining spaces and a fully fenced yard create a private oasis unlike any other.

The finished lower level significantly expands the home's living space, offering a pub-style wet bar, entertainment and gaming areas, custom library cabinetry, powder room, fitness or flex space, abundant storage, and unique expansion potential beneath the front entrance. Additional highlights include a Carrier hybrid HVAC system, dedicated laundry room, oversized turned two-car garage with epoxy flooring and attic storage, garage-to-basement access, and extensive owner parking.

Combining architectural distinction, superior craftsmanship, and extraordinary indoor-outdoor living, this is a once-in-a-generation estate offering.
