Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac, this classic colonial offers the space you need and the updates you want — all set against a private, tree-lined backyard that feels like your own retreat. With 2,675 square feet of above-grade living space and an additional 1,396 square feet of finished space below grade, this home offers exceptional flexibility for today’s lifestyle. Featuring four spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths, there’s room for everyone to live, work, and relax comfortably. The main level is designed with a natural flow that’s perfect for both everyday living and entertaining, while the fully finished basement adds valuable bonus space ideal for a media room, home gym, playroom, or game area. As an added bonus, the pool and ping pong table in the basement will convey with the sale, making it truly move-in ready for fun and functionality. The kitchen has been thoughtfully refreshed with new countertops, sink, faucet, and backsplash, along with brand-new stainless appliances including refrigerator, stove, microwave, and dishwasher. Painted cabinetry and island give the space a bright, modern feel without losing warmth. Upstairs, you’ll find generously sized bedrooms with updated flooring and newer whole-house carpet, approximately three years old. Ceiling fans were recently installed in the primary bedroom and two additional bedrooms for added comfort. Both full bathrooms have been updated — the main bath features a new shower, flooring, countertops, sink, and a refreshed soaking tub, while the second bath includes a new sink, shower, and flooring. The powder room has also been remodeled with updated finishes. Additional improvements include fresh paint throughout, new lighting across the home, new flooring in the laundry room, a newer dryer approximately two years old, installed blinds throughout, gutter leaf guards, upgraded front landscaping for strong curb appeal, and newly replaced decking boards on the back deck — ideal for outdoor gatherings or quiet evenings overlooking the private yard. Located just minutes from the University of Delaware campus and close to shopping at Christiana Mall, you’ll also enjoy easy access to local favorites like Home Grown Cafe, Taverna, and Caffe Gelato. Parks, grocery stores, fitness centers, and major commuter routes are all nearby, making this location both convenient and connected. Move-in ready, thoughtfully updated, and positioned in a desirable Newark setting — this is the kind of home buyers wait for.
