561 UPPER PIKE CREEK ROAD, NEWARK, DE

Welcome to 561 Upper Pike Creek Road, a property steeped in history, having been transferred in 1778. The main structure, originally a mill, has been beautifully renovated and expanded into a three-bedroom, three-bathroom home. The auxiliary structure, formerly a barn, now serves as a guest house, featuring one bedroom, one bathroom, a kitchen area, loft, and living room. As you enter through the side door and into the foyer of the main home, you'll be greeted by flagstone flooring that flows seamlessly into the living room, which boasts a double-sided fireplace, decorative molding, and floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the picturesque grounds. To the right is the expansive living room, one side adorned with floor-to-ceiling windows, wooden beams, and a wood-burning fireplace. Access to one of the many patios is available from this living room. Continuing through the living room and back into the foyer, you'll find the dining room on the opposite side. This dining room, part of the original structure, features exposed stone walls, wooden beams, new wallpaper, and wide plank flooring. From the dining room, you can enter the newly renovated kitchen, complete with freshly painted wood cabinets, brand new quartz countertops and backsplash, along with a breakfast bar. Venture upstairs and you'll once again encounter exposed stone as you ascend to the second level. Here, you'll first discover a full bath that connects to the second bedroom, which features exposed beams, a double closet, and a Juliet balcony. Further down the hall, you'll find the spacious primary suite. Upon entering, you'll notice two closets and a refreshed primary bath that includes laundry facilities. The bedroom features two additional closets, vaulted ceilings, and two French doors leading to your own private balcony, which also connects to the rear yard and another patio. Returning to the second-floor hallway, you'll find the entrance to the third floor, which is a large bedroom with its own bath and a spacious closet. The secondary structure is currently in operation as an Airbnb. It showcases original shiplap walls throughout, a large fireplace with a wood stove insert in the living room, and French doors leading to a private patio. Ascend a few stairs to find the kitchen area, a large bedroom, and a bath that includes its own laundry facilities. From this level, additional stairs lead to a loft, which is presently used as a guest room/office with skylights. This property encompasses over an acre of land, featuring two homes, a large paver driveway, a two-car garage, multiple patios, and an in-ground pool.
