Welcome to this extraordinary custom-built estate in the highly desirable walkable community of Centreville Reserve. Designed by Hillcrest Associates and exclusively built by Dewson Construction with exceptional craftsmanship, this 5-bedroom, 7 full-bath, 2 half-bath residence offers timeless architecture, refined finishes, and true resort-style living. The home opens with a grand two-story foyer featuring gallery-style travertine tile flooring and a dramatic arced bridge overlook, setting the tone for the home’s scale and elegance. Step into a magnificent 25-foot living room with tray ceiling, a full rear wall of windows, and a soaring two-story limestone fireplace — an awe-inspiring focal point. Adjacent is a gracious formal dining room, vast in size and appointed with decorative moldings and arched openings, ideal for elegant entertaining. The heart of the home is a seamless open-concept layout that unites the custom Paradise Kitchen, family room, and breakfast room that features Enkeboll hand carved millwork. The kitchen features granite countertops, handcrafted cabinetry, professional-grade appliances, a large island, and a walk-in butler’s pantry. Just off the kitchen is one of two powder rooms, and a spacious mudroom/laundry combination with built-in cabinetry, utility sink, and folding area. The family room impresses with a soaring ceiling, gas fireplace with custom mantle, and a built-in 150-gallon saltwater aquarium, flowing effortlessly into the breakfast room with built-in benches, a custom volume ceiling, and two 8-foot atrium doors that open to a vast rear deck. An elegant two-story library is accessed through double 12-panel lite doors, showcasing raised-panel cherry cabinetry, custom bookshelves, and a balcony overlook. The private first-floor primary suite offers a true sanctuary with a sitting area and spa-style bath featuring a domed ceiling, whirlpool tub, oversized walk-in shower, dual vanities, an in-suite washer and dryer, and two expansive walk-in closets, each with dressing areas and custom organizers. Upstairs, four additional bedrooms each feature private en-suite bathrooms, volume ceilings, and generous walk-in or storage closets. A large flexible-use room provides ideal space for a guest suite, media room, or game room, and the level includes a third laundry room with built-ins and folding station. The walk-out lower level is extraordinary. The entire rear wall is encased in glass with five sets of atrium doors leading to a huge, covered open-air slate patio that spans the entire width of the home, mirroring the expansive Ipe wood deck above. This level features volume tray ceilings with uplighting, a custom bar with premium appliances (refrigerator, icemaker, microwave, and dishwasher), a pool table area, poker room, and an impressive golf simulation room adorned with custom murals by renowned artist Dan Gotel. A full bath and abundant storage complete this level. The outdoor living experience is unmatched. In addition to the covered patio, there is a second full bath with an outdoor shower for poolside convenience. The 60’ x 22’ heated saltwater pool is accented by a graceful dolphin fountain, cabana, fully equipped outdoor kitchen, stone fireplace lounge, and hot tub, all nestled within lush, professionally landscaped private grounds. Also located on the property is a vast multi-purpose sport court, ideal for basketball, pickleball, tennis, and other recreation — a perfect complement to this home’s resort-style amenities. Additional features include a home theater, wine cellar, fitness room, whole-house audio, smart home automation, and a four-car garage. Just minutes from Centerville Village, Brandywine Valley trails and museums, and top-rated private schools, this estate offers an unparalleled combination of scale, sophistication, and lifestyle in one of Delaware’s most prestigious neighborhoods.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
