Property Description
Another inspired transformation by The ReDevelopment Company. Welcome to 520 Hopkins Bridge Rd, a masterfully renovated all-brick ranch home situated on 1.15 private acres—surrounded on three sides by more than 3,600 acres of protected White Clay Creek State Parkland. That’s not a typo: your backyard is a state park. This home isn’t just a residence—it’s a sanctuary, offering perpetual privacy, direct trail access, and unmatched natural beauty in every direction. Located within the historic and highly coveted Delaware Wedge (look it up—you’ll be intrigued), this property offers a rare mix of seclusion, modern comfort, and multi-generational versatility. No detail was overlooked in this top-to-bottom renovation. Inside, you'll find: Refinished hardwood floors, Fresh paint throughout, Upgraded interior doors and trimwork, including elegant crown molding in the family room, living room, and primary bedroom, A chef-worthy kitchen with custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and ceramic tile flooring, Updated laundry and bathrooms with durable and stylish tile finishes, Two cozy electric fireplaces in the family room and finished basement. The layout includes 2,025 SF on the main level, plus a fully finished lower level offering 1,500 SF—including a bedroom, full bathroom, and separate entrance through the garage. Perfect for an in-law suite, guest retreat, or income-generating rental unit. Outside, enjoy: New landscaping and sealed driveway, Brand-new windows and exterior doors, Major system upgrades (new plumbing, updated electrical, modern lighting). But the real magic? Step out the back door and into over 3,600 acres of protected forest. Hike, bike, or birdwatch right from your property line. There are no rear neighbors—just miles of woods, wildlife, and whisper-quiet sunsets. Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a privacy seeker, or someone looking to blend modern living with a timeless setting, this home delivers something incredibly rare: a forever buffer of beauty. With solid brick construction, a flexible multi-generational floor plan, and potential to subdivide the lot, this is more than a home—it’s an investment in lifestyle. Investor Alert! Potential to build an Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) on the property without having to subdivide. Live in one while renting out the other for additional income. See attached ADU Price Calc Sheet. Another creative renovation by The ReDevelopment Company. Listing agent is president of the selling entity.
