About This Home

The long-awaited final release at The Colony has arrived! Don't miss your opportunity to own one of just seven remaining homes in the highly anticipated reopening of this sought-after Bear community. Ideally situated north of the C&D Canal off Route 896 and within the top-ranked Appoquinimink School District, The Colony offers an exceptional location with convenient access to shopping, dining, recreation, and major commuter routes. Even better, this home is available for a Fall 2026 move-in, allowing you to enjoy new construction without the extended wait. Welcome to 127 Hammersmith Drive, perfectly positioned on a premium homesite that backs to expansive open space, providing peaceful views and added privacy rarely found in new construction. Whether enjoying your morning coffee or unwinding at the end of the day, the backyard setting creates a beautiful backdrop for everyday living. Inside, a welcoming foyer leads to a bright and versatile flex room, offering endless possibilities as a home office, formal living room, playroom, or hobby space. The open-concept design creates an effortless flow between the gourmet kitchen, dining area, and spacious great room, making it ideal for both entertaining and everyday life. The thoughtfully designed kitchen showcases 42-inch cabinetry, quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, a large center island, and wide-plank flooring throughout the entire main living area. A fireplace anchors the great room, adding warmth and character to the home's central gathering space. A first-floor bedroom with an adjacent full bath provides outstanding flexibility for overnight guests, multi-generational living, or a private workspace. Upstairs, the spacious primary suite offers a relaxing retreat with abundant natural light, a generous walk-in closet, and a beautifully appointed en suite bath. Three additional generously sized bedrooms provide room for everyone, including one oversized bedroom with an impressive walk-in closet.

The finished basement expands your living space with a large recreation room perfect for entertaining, relaxing, or creating a home gym or media room. An additional full bathroom and abundant unfinished storage ensure you'll have space for everything from seasonal décor to hobbies and future needs.
