Welcome to 6 Merion Rd. in Chestnut Hill Estates, a wonderful and convenient community, great for first time home buyers or downsizing.

This is a classic front to back split level with vaulted main floor ceilings with a split staircase going up to 3 bedrooms and a full bath or down to a family room and bonus room or 4th bedroom, along with a laundry area and 1/2 bath. The garage has been enlarged and extended and includes a sun room off the back. She's not the prettiest one on the block but she's ready to become one. THIS IS A SORT SALE and subject to 3rd party mortgage company approval and subject to the sellers acceptance of those approval terms. The property is being sold as-is with no warranties expressed or implied. Home inspections are for informational purposes only. Buyer may be responsible for any of their own lender required repairs.

Come View Your NEW HOME! Located within five mile radius of Newark's Charter School. This popular Chestnut Hill Estates spilt offers a 1 car expanded garage and additional Bonus sun porch room. Well maintained over the years, this Gem shines. As one of the larger models, this home was built as a 4 bedroom home with 1.5 baths, large open laundry and systems area, vaulted ceiling in the living room that showcases the open rail 2nd level hall, easy access to the lower level Great Room with bonus walkout exit door to a nice sized concrete patio and large fenced back yard. Arriving at this home you find both a private garage entry and front entry doors, 2 street parking driveway, plenty of on street parking and of course the one car garage with remote door. Coming into the living room, you are greeted by beautiful exposed original hardwood flooring, metal open spindle railing, soaring vaulted ceiling with recessed lighting, flanked by super sunning windows that has a very open floor plan which is perfect for entertaining as the living and dining areas are open and directly connect to the Kitchen. The Kitchen has lovely mid-tone wood cabinets, bright off white countertops with matching backsplash, vinyl flooring and offers abundant counter and cabinet storage that is not usualy available in this style home and the best part is the wonderful covered entry from the garage so grocery delivery is super easy. Appliances include: refrigerator, smooth top electric range oven, microwave range hood and dishwasher. Heading upstairs the Master bedroom has 2 large closets, holds a king sized bed with ease and has floor space for a few dressers. The 2 other bedrooms on this level are well sized. The full bath has a stunning tiled wall surround on the tub/shower combo, a large window for natural light, updated modern flooring with large single bowl vanity and storage cabinetry on the wall. The lower level will not disappoint. The spacious Great room is full of sunshine, finished with a nice low pile rug and warm tone painted walls. The perfect place to hang out but it gets better. The 4th bedroom which the owner uses as a complete one stop play room is super large, has as open pass through wall so that both the Great room and this room feel connected. This room can be the perfect craft room or office if you do not need another bedroom. On this same level is the systems area and large bright laundry room that is filled with multiple storage cabinets. Just around the corner from a nice sized half bath that is private for guests use. Yard access is available directly from the Great room. The back of the home has a concrete patio that extends your living to the outdoors. You will enjoy cookouts, fire pits nights and just being able to not track mud into the home. The yard is fenced, has a turf playground equipment area that provides a clean area for sports play or playground. * The current playground equipment will be removed for the new owner to have a blank slate to design a fun space. There is also a nice storage shed being included. Did we talk about the driveway? It holds 2 car. The garage is an expanded 1 car design. Current owner opted to use the garage differently and has a professional gym; there is that much space. When entertaining and or to have a Cave or Shed option, the bonus sun porch is a wonderful surprize feature. The systems include: less than 5 year old heater, central AC, newer electric Hot water heater, 150 amp copper breaker panel, complimented by shingle roof, vinyl siding, newer gutters, replacement windows, storm door, recessed lighting and 6 panel doors, original hardwoods, tile, laminate and carpet flooring, soft farmhouse color pallet and not to be forgotten; the home has a Central Vac System. This home is a treasure. Come enjoy the perks of a nice home in Newark. Looking to spend less out of pocket at closing?
