Description

Experience the perfect blend of American heritage and contemporary luxury at The Guest House at The Historic 1886 Farmstead. Originally built as a seasonal worker residence, this detached, free-standing home has been masterfully reimagined into an upscale, fully furnished private retreat. Nestled on a sprawling, beautifully maintained 2.5-acre estate along Limestone Road in Hockessin, Delaware, the property features a fully restored main farmhouse and pristine grounds that preserve rich, old-world character while delivering five-star modern comforts. The neighborhood offers a highly desirable, peaceful suburban oasis widely celebrated for its rolling hills, mature trees, and safe environment. It provides a quiet getaway from nearby cities while maintaining a vibrant community feel. The estate grounds provide incredible breathing room that you rarely find in standard suburban rentals. Guests enjoy access to beautifully landscaped outdoor spaces perfect for morning coffee, evening wine, or hosting outdoor gatherings. An expansive driveway offers plenty of secure, hassle-free parking that easily accommodates multiple vehicles or larger transport. The entire 2.5-acre estate is meticulously well-lit and exceptionally secure, providing an incredibly safe and peaceful environment. To ensure a completely stress-free, turnkey experience, this rental is all-inclusive. High-speed Wi-Fi and all utilities-including electricity, heating, cooling, and water-are fully covered and ready upon arrival. Bed and Bath linens, cleaning supplies and enough to get you started in the kitchen! We have truly thought of everything you will need to make this comfortable, worry-free home. Just bring your suitcase and settle into this historic, newly renovated beautiful gem. This free-standing fully furnished 1,350 sq ft home features a private dual-suite layout. The first floor includes a living room, well-appointed kitchen, one bedroom, full bath, and a laundry closet with a washer/dryer. The entire second floor is a private retreat dedicated to a spacious second bedroom with its own en-suite full bathroom. Perfect for roommates or guests. Renovation of this house was completed in June 2026, so everything is fresh and new!
