About the Listing OAA204 - 3259178

This custom-built, all-brick 5-bedroom, 4-bath colonial is nestled in the highly desirable community of Hawthorne in Hockessin, where no two homes are alike. Thoughtfully designed and solidly constructed, this residence offers timeless quality, spacious living, and exceptional value.
