Brick ranch home near Newark's popular Rittenhouse Park. This 3 BR/2B one-story has an attached 2-car garage and a full basement. Tucked in a lovely wooded site, the large sun room brings the outside in! Skylights add to this sunny room. Lots of finishes to surprise and delight - HW floors throughout ( except sun room, kitchen and baths); Corian counter tops and island, Andersen windows are just a few. There are still a few TLC touches needed to make this gem really shine!! Priced in low $300?s , one year warranty included.
