The remodeled main kitchen offers new cabinetry, quartz countertops, high-end appliances, range hood, modern lighting, and new Leviton switches & outlets. All you need is the chef! All of the bathrooms on the main and second floor have been tastefully updated to include new flooring, toilets, hardware and even brand new mirrors.

Situated on one of the largest and most private lots in the community, the spacious backyard is filled with mature fruit trees, including apple, pear, plum, walnut, and date. The gently sloping yard is ideal for gardening, entertaining, or even sledding after a snowfall. You'll never run out of things to do or places to relax in this spacious home with great curb appeal. Make your appointment to see it today! Enjoy an unbeatable location just a short walk to Old Paper Mill Road Park, pickleball courts, playgrounds, and the scenic Newark Reservoir. The home is within approximately five miles of Newark Charter School yet located outside Newark city limits, so no city property tax applies. Not to mention a very close proximity to UD campus. If you're looking for a home that features a desirable in-law suite with private entrance with many, many additional "must-have's", be sure to check out 108 Ruth Ellen Ct. South.
