Description
Don't miss the opportunity to live in the ever-popular Appoquinimink School District, in desirable Caravel Woods! This rarely available 4-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom center hall colonial is the perfect blend of luxury and comfort. With numerous updates throughout, this home offers modern living in a beautiful setting. Built by R.C. Peoples, this meticulously maintained Tyler model home features an inviting backyard oasis with an Anthony Sylvan pool with new cover, EP Henry patio, and walkway—ideal for outdoor entertaining and relaxation. There's also a shed for extra storage. The entire property has been professionally landscaped for incredible curb appeal. Inside, you'll find handsomely refinished hardwood floors throughout, complemented by neutrally painted walls with stunning details like wainscotting, chair rails, and crown molding. The home is bathed in natural light through Anderson replacement windows, which are both energy-efficient and add to the home's elegance. The living room and dining room are perfect for hosting guests or for spending a quiet evening at home. Custom-built bookshelves in the living room add both functionality and charm to the space. The updated kitchen with pantry is a chef's dream, featuring sleek stainless-steel appliances, including a French door refrigerator, gas range, built-in microwave, and dishwasher. Custom white cabinetry, granite countertops, a stainless-steel double sink, and an island make meal prep a breeze. The kitchen opens to the spacious breakfast/great room that was expanded, making it larger than other homes of the same model. French doors lead out to the paver patio, perfect for outdoor meals or relaxation. The breakfast/great room flows seamlessly into the spacious yet cozy family room with large bay window overlooking the front yard. A bonus mudroom/laundry room features GE washer and gas dryer, utility sink, storage closet and access to the back patio and the two-car garage. The garage offers an 8x12 bump-out for extra storage—an added benefit that is unique to this specific home. There’s also a modern powder room tucked away on the main floor. Upstairs, the primary suite is a true retreat, complete with a huge walk-in closet. The updated en-suite is modern and luxurious, featuring dual sinks, linen closet, and a gorgeous shower with a built-in bench, floor-to-ceiling tile, a niche, and pebble flooring. Three additional spacious bedrooms share an updated full bath with tub/shower combo and its own linen closet. This home offers a lot of storage, including two nicely sized closets in the upstairs hallway. The handsomely finished basement is perfect for a home theater, gym, or recreation area. A ventless fireplace and bar area add to the appeal. Recently, an egress window was installed, making it a fully functional extension of this already spacious home. The updates go on and on to include new siding, soffits, fascia, and gutters. 7 McMahon is walking distance to Lums Pond State Park, and it is situated in a prime location just minutes from both Route 896 and Route 1. Close proximity to I-95 for an easy commute to Wilmington, Baltimore, Washington, Philadelphia and New York. It's also convenient to Amtrak, Philadelphia and Baltimore/Washington International Airports.

Climate and Weather
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.
