West Newark Classic! Welcome to 241 Cheltenham Rd. This large 4-bedroom, 3-full-bath home is hitting the market for the first time. The Oaklands offer a great community experience. Located close to downtown Newark, you will find wide streets with sidewalks, neighborhood parks, and walking distance to a popular local elementary school. When entering this classic split-level, you will find hardwood floors, an oversized living room and dining room combination that flows directly into the kitchen and family room. There is a large picture window that allows an abundance of fresh sunlight to shine through. The kitchen, with recently updated cabinets and appliances, has a built-in range and a gas cooktop. The family room features a large brick fireplace, built-in bookshelves, access to the rear deck and yard, and yet another large window to enjoy the outdoors spilling inside. Just a few steps to the upper level, you will find a primary bedroom and 2 additional bedrooms, all generously sized and with hardwood floors. There are 2 full bathrooms on this level. A few steps down to the lower level, you will find a large bedroom or second family room that is oversized. On this level, there is also a full bath, a utility/laundry room, and access to the garage and rear yard. The garage is also oversized with 2 cars, front-to-back. The wooded rear yard allows for additional privacy. The price reflects updating needed, as this amount of square footage, completely updated, would be well into the mid-500s+. We look forward to having you schedule a tour today!
