Extensively updated and renovated in the past 5 years. This lovely 3 Bedroom/ 1.5 Bath home is open, spacious, and has many features that you won't find in other homes at this price point! Replacements include: new roof, new vinyl siding, new windows, all new interior doors (including two 15-light doors in lower level and a sliding patio door), a new entry door and lighting with brand new porch, renovated bath and powder rooms, and repaved & enlarged driveways. Greeted by gleaming hardwood floors as you enter the home, you'll see the spacious living room with triple front window, and stone surround fireplace, flanked by mission style windows. Kitchen includes built-in cabinetry, LOADS of counter and cupboard space, and a lovely built in hutch. Large screened porch overlooks a serene, private back yard nestled under trees. Lower level: a solid natural pine family room with a wall of built-in cabinets, laundry room, powder room and back yard exit. Upstairs: 3 lovely bedrooms -- 2 on the first level with hard wood floors, both with double closets. Don't miss the shoe cabinet on the landing and the craft room across, as you approach the Master Bedroom. There is attic access from both the craft room and the master bedroom closet. The front of the home is attractively flanked by 2 driveways, a double drive to the garage on the left, and an extra drive along the right side of the property--so plenty of spaces to park, 5-6 cars. There is a great garage with whole wall of built-in cabinets for the crafts/handy person to keep all that important "garage stuff" but still fits one car. The home generator is not included, and has only been used twice in the past several years- but the wall panel for the generator stays, in case the new owner would like to install their own. All the new premier window shades stay. Newer stainless refrigerator is included as-is. Some furnishings are available for sale, and list will be presented upon request. Roof warranty is transferable, warranties on siding and roof are registered. Conveniently located, within the 5-mile radius for Newark Charter School, close to the University of Delaware, Christiana Mall, shopping, public transportation and major highway routes. Only available due to owner's desire to shorten commute to new work location.
