Description

7 Quail Crossing is a secluded two-acre property within a 22-acre subdivision in Centreville, DE. Nestled in a forested area, this certified Backyard Wildlife Habitat and former Wilmington Garden Day site provides the joys of living in harmony with nature: beauty, tranquility, and serenity. Drive up the hill to the home through a glade of hardwoods, between two spring-fed, koi-filled ponds, and then pass the tall rhododendrons, azaleas, rosebud trees, and andromeda bushes. Don’t miss the charming spring house and bridge to the island on the smaller pond. This custom-built, two-story contemporary home provides more than 3,800 square feet of living space with a modern open floor plan, featuring 5 bedrooms and 3 1/2 baths. The entrance atrium, with ceramic tile, opens to a spacious parquet-floored foyer showcasing a second-floor balcony and a cathedral ceiling with a skylight. The great room boasts hardwood flooring, a large picture window overlooking the property, crown and chair rail molding, recessed lighting, double doors leading to a large multi-level deck, and another set of double doors opening to the sunroom. This sunroom features ceramic flooring, a ceiling fan, a beamed ceiling, skylights, electric baseboard heat, and picture windows highlighting the deck. Parquet wood flooring, a beamed ceiling, wood paneling, track lighting, and a raised stone fireplace with thermostat-controlled propane all elevate the family room. The space features built-in cabinets and sliding doors leading to a stunning morning room, which offers wall-to-wall windows, a cathedral ceiling, and three skylights. The family room includes a small bonus area with hinged doors and a doorway granting access to the covered porch and backyard. The spacious eat-in kitchen is ideal for entertaining, featuring custom oak cabinets with pull-out shelves, lazy Susans, appliance garages, and a built-in wine rack. Track lighting, a ceiling fan, and a skylight above the kitchen sink elevate the ambiance. It boasts stunning granite countertops, ceramic tile flooring, stone backsplash, a double sink, a built-in lighted display cubby, a built-in desk, an Electrolux induction cooktop, a Wolf downdraft ventilation system, a built-in GE conventional/convection oven and microwave, an Asko dishwasher, and an LG French door refrigerator with double freezer drawers. Double glass doors provide access to the deck and grilling area. Off the family room is the laundry room with a closet, stand-alone freezer, and walk-in storage room with shelving. The first floor is completed by the two-car garage with automatic garage door openers, built-in shelving, yard tool hangers, and cabinets. The upper level includes the primary bedroom featuring wall-to-wall sliders that lead to a balcony overlooking the morning room. It is equipped with track lighting, a ceiling fan, and access to an additional room that can serve as a baby nursery, an office, an exercise room, a sitting room, or could be converted into a large walk-in closet. The tranquil and private primary bath boasts a skylight above the Bain Ultra hydrotherapy tub, picture windows, heated tile flooring, a spacious walk-in shower with a bench and multi-sprayers, Grohe fixtures, custom cabinetry, and Toto toilet and sinks. There is another Toto sink and custom cabinetry located outside the primary bath, between the bedroom and the large walk-in closet. Three additional large bedrooms with ceiling fans and panoramic views of the property and countryside, a spacious cedar closet for storage, and a hall bathroom featuring a private toilet/tub area, and double sinks. The finished lower level features an Anderson French door, providing ground-level access to a private stone patio surrounded by established plantings. A highlight of this property is the approximately 2,000 square foot wraparound multi-level deck, with one staircase leading to the backyard and another to the front patio.
