Built in 2020, this beautifully designed home is Lennar’s sought-after Georgetown model, located in the desirable Colony at Summit Bridge East community within the Appoquinimink School District.

The home has been meticulously cared for and showcases an open, light-filled layout with energy-efficient systems, three-zone HVAC, upgraded engineered hardwood flooring on the main level, and nine-foot ceilings throughout. The first floor welcomes you with a spacious foyer and flows into a gourmet kitchen with a breakfast area, formal dining room, and a large great room centered around a gas fireplace. Also on the main level are a powder room, a private office or study, and access to the two-car garage via a large mudroom. The kitchen is a showpiece, featuring 42-inch cabinetry, granite countertops with an over-sized island, gas cooking, a wall oven, and stainless steel appliances. Step outside from the kitchen to experience a true backyard oasis, an expansive composite deck with a screened gazebo, ambient lighting, a sunken hot tub beneath a pergola, and exceptional privacy.

The Temperature chart displays average high and low values for January and July, and is designed to provide an indication of both seasonal and daily temperature variability. The Weather Risk Index indicates the calculated risk of each type of weather event occurring in the future. This risk is based on historical localized storm events and weather patterns. The national average for each type of weather event equals a score of 100, so a score of 200 would represent twice the risk as the national average, and a score of 50 would represent half the risk of the national average.
