Old Newark just minutes to the UofD, the Blue & Gold Club, Main Campus, Sports Facilities & Downtown Newark Shopping! This is a "Short Sale" that is contingent upon Creditor's approval. A classic cottage with all the charm & character that you'd expect in this most popular area of Newark proper. Those who know; know that this part of Newark is far from the hub-bub. Wouldn't you like a lush yard with an expanded deck for your quiet enjoyment? The house plan is super; just waiting for your finer touch. I love all the hardwood floors; But my favorite room in the house is the fantastic vaulted kitchen addition on the rear of the house. The beautiful Saltillo Tile floor, center island, large breakfast room & an abundance of cabinetry & countertop space makes it an area I'd like to hang out. There is truly no better location in Newark, a great community & a Great Choice! Buyer must use the Short Sale Documents & Disclosure Forms that can be downloaded from thiw TREND description with any contract offer.
