Welcome to 12553 Fawn Drive — an exceptional ranch-style residence nestled on a beautifully landscaped corner lot of over an acre in the prestigious Old Church Landing community. Surrounded by a lush, park-like setting, this meticulously crafted home is brimming with timeless elegance and modern comfort, ready to welcome its next discerning owner. Set in a neighborhood of established homes and natural beauty, this 4-bedroom, 2.5-bath retreat offers grand living spaces, refined architectural details, and an outdoor experience that rivals a private resort. Inside, rich hardwood floors, custom built-ins, detailed millwork, and fine finishes create an inviting atmosphere throughout. The living room is a showstopper, crowned by a soaring cathedral ceiling and anchored by a stunning floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace flanked by handcrafted built-ins—an ideal space for both entertaining and cozy fireside evenings. French pocket doors reveal a spacious family room filled with natural light and panoramic views of the backyard oasis. At the heart of the home is a gourmet kitchen outfitted with 42” custom cabinetry, abundant granite counter space, and a peninsula bar—perfect for the home chef and hosting gatherings alike. Choose to dine casually in the sunny breakfast nook, formally in the elegant dining room, or al fresco on the expansive paver patio. The primary suite is a serene retreat, featuring two walk-in closets (one with custom storage), a spa-inspired ensuite bath with an oversized walk-in shower, and a private sitting area with direct access to the pool and patio. Two beautifully appointed guest rooms, plus a versatile bonus room ideal for a home office or additional visitors, provide comfort and flexibility. A well-designed hall bath and a spacious mudroom/laundry area with a convenient half bath just off the garage complete the thoughtfully designed layout. Step outside and discover an entertainer’s dream. Extensive hardscaping and a privacy fence frame the ultimate outdoor living experience, where multiple zones invite you to lounge, dine, and unwind. At the heart of it all is a heated, saltwater pool adorned with a built-in waterfall feature, a serene, resort-like focal point that flows gracefully into the pool, offering both visual beauty and the soothing sound of cascading water. Whether you’re sunbathing by day or enjoying a peaceful swim under the stars, this private oasis sets the scene for unforgettable moments. Old Church Landing is a hidden gem along the banks of scenic Chipman Pond. Enjoy access to a private community boat ramp where you can launch a kayak, canoe, or boat and take in the surrounding beauty and abundant wildlife. Live the peaceful Delmarva Peninsula lifestyle while staying close to shopping, healthcare, and dining—with the Delaware and Maryland beaches less than an hour away. Schedule your private tour today and discover your own luxurious oasis at 12553 Fawn Drive.
