The heart of the home is a true chef’s kitchen with an expansive island, high-end stainless appliances including a 6-burner Miele gas range, and a light-filled dining area that seamlessly connects the kitchen to the cozy family room with stone fireplace—ideal for both everyday living and entertaining. The soaring living room/great room with vaulted ceiling, wood beams and 2nd fireplace adds warmth and character, while a first-floor study with custom built-ins, powder room, and laundry room offer added functionality.

Outdoors, the professionally designed patio and courtyard are truly showstopping, featuring boulders unique to Rock Manor that were repurposed into walls, seating areas, and a "secret garden". The experienced horticulturist or casual gardener alike will appreciate the raised garden beds and herb gardens that provide herbs during 3-seasons. An expanse of strategically planted Arborvitae frame the property and will provide a natural wall of privacy in the coming years. A whole-house generator, plantation shutters, irrigation system, extensive exterior landscape lighting and top-tier, custom finishes throughout round out this exceptional offering. Conveniently located just outside the City of Wilmington, Rock Manor is minutes to downtown eateries and shopping, Wilmington area museums and parks, I-95 and a short commute to Philadelphia.
